Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

History repeats itself


Including how the term 'Leatherneck' came to be . .

Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago,
  the United States had declared war on Islam, and Thomas Jefferson led the
charge!
  At the height of the eighteenth century, Muslim pirates were the terror of theMediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic.  They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for exorbitant ransoms.  Those taken hostage were
subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote heart breaking letters home, begging
their government and family members to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors
demanded.

  These extortionists of the high seas represented the Islamic nations of
Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers - collectively referred to as the Barbary
Coast - and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American
Republic.

Before the Revolutionary War, U.S. merchant ships had been under the protection
of Great Britain.  When the U.S. declared its independence and entered into war,
the ships of the United States were protected by France. However, once the war
was won, America had to protect its own fleets. Thus, the birth of the U.S.
Navy.
  Beginning in1784, seventeen years before he would become president, Thomas
Jefferson became America's Minister to France.  That same year, the U.S.
Congress sought to appease its Muslim adversaries by following in the footsteps
of European nations who paid bribes to the Barbary States, rather than engaging
them in war.

In July of 1785, Algerian pirates captured American ships, and the Dey of
Algiers demanded an unheard-of ransom of $60,000.  It was a plain and simple
case of extortion, and Thomas Jefferson was vehemently opposed to any further
payments.  Instead, he proposed to Congress the formation of a coalition of
allied nations who together could force the Islamic states into peace.  A
disinterested Congress decided to pay the ransom.

  In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli's ambassador to
Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and
enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much hostility towards
America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.

  The two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja
had answered that Islam "was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was
written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their
authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them
wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as
Prisoners, and that every
  Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."


Despite this stunning admission of premeditated violence on non-Muslim
nations,as well as the objections of many notable American leaders, including
  George Washington, who warned that caving in was both wrong and would only
further embolden the enemy, for the following fifteen years, the American
government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American
ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute
amounted to over twenty percent of the United States government annual revenues
in 1800.

Kidnappers regardless of if they are anti Muslim, White Communists, Black Africans or multi colored Muslims, cannot and must not be considered to have the ability to demand anything from the USA....money, POW release or favors.

Being politically correct and giving in to this assholes is the worst thing we can do for peace in the world as we know it today.

We may lose a few Americans... But we seriously lose more by giving in to blackmail and threats.
