You posted a general reply, and you didn't quote anyone, so it's not possible to be certain who you're replying to. I'll respond as if your message was to me.

This would be incorrect. Repeating what I said earlier, I prefer technology solutions with walls only where necessary. Border patrol personnel will be part of any solution.
I suppose you support Biden in his demand that Mexico places a rock-solid hard border between it and Guatemala.
I have seen no news about this, a Google News search came up dry, but I would be in favor of the same border solutions in Guatamala as here in the US. I favor technology solutions and natural barriers like rivers and other geological features combined with border personnel.
Again, you said this recently.
Who said what recently? You quoted nothing, and it's not even possible to be certain who you're replying to?
(I admit that you have been consistently obsessed with making it almost impossible for immigrants to get across the southern border, so they can enjoy your "due process" platitude - itself a severe watering down of the 2016 Democratic candidate's opposition to deportation of children)
Doesn't sound like me.
All of this was your position in this very thread. It was your updated position against immigrant's efforts to come here and to stay. It is a problem to you that "needs" a solution. Get tough is your solution.
This doesn't sound like me, either. I want increased legal immigration. I want it to be easy instead of taking years. I want people to be able to walk up to our border stations and apply for immigration status with available room and board while their application is considered, and with social workers helping them plan for both possible futures, acceptance and rejection. Asylum applications should not have a 74% denial rate.
Do you still want to levy additional taxes on immigrants for their benefits beyond the taxes they would already pay?

Re: Federal Judge Emmitt Sullivan orders cease to Bidens "unlawful" Title 42 deportations
We should oppose all excuses for non-humanitarian behavior, including Title 42. People who appear on our southern border are desperate and should be treated with dignity and compassion. I sent a message to the White House saying that what he's doing is not what I signed up for when I voted for him.
Border patrol agents jobs are very difficult. It must be challenging to look like you're treating someone with dignity and compassion while you're chasing them down, but when someone runs away and attempts to evade being taken into custody there's no way to avoid the bad optics. That being said, we should cease chasing people down on horseback because of the dangers presented by a rapidly moving 1000 pound animal.
