    GOP's crumbling case against Biden on crime, immigration and inflation TY BIDEN!
    Significant Progress Under Biden Administration: Improved Crime Rates, Immigration, and Economy

    In a clear demonstration of effective leadership, President Joe Biden's administration has delivered notable improvements in the areas of crime, immigration, and the economy, despite persistent Republican criticism.


    Crime rates, a significant concern during the pandemic, are showing a downward trend, providing relief to communities across the country. Notably, a study from the Council on Criminal Justice reveals that homicides have dropped by 9% in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. This progress refutes Republican accusations of soaring crime rates and serves as a testament to the administration's commitment to safety and security.

    The issue of illegal immigration, another focal point of the GOP's attacks on President Biden, is also experiencing a positive shift. The introduction of a more restrictive asylum rule by the Biden administration in June resulted in the lowest level of illegal border crossings in over two years. This new policy demonstrates the administration's willingness to tackle complex issues head-on, even in the face of criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.

    Inflation, a key concern driving voter discontent, is also showing signs of retreat. This trend is reflected in the University of Michigan's long-running survey which indicates that consumer sentiment is at a two-year high, largely due to the continued slowdown in inflation and the stability in labor markets. These indicators underscore the strength of Biden's economic policy, despite Republican allegations to the contrary.

    The Biden administration has been working hard to highlight these positive developments and to help voters see the significant progress being made under his leadership. The White House has been conducting events to promote "Bidenomics," emphasizing that the President's economic track record is stronger than he often gets credit for.

    Even though the President's approval rating hovers around 40%, these positive trends in crime, immigration, and inflation reveal a different story, one of progress and resilience under the Biden administration. The data provides a strong counterpoint to the GOP's critiques and shines a light on the achievements of Biden's term in office thus far.

    I think they just lowered the threshold for criminal activity. Kind of like they did for inflation. The criteria was changed and thus the intended outcome of lower numbers was achieved. Now a days anyone can waltz into Lowes and grab a couple of power tools and walk right out and no one gives 2 shyts about it. Hell they even fired employees that speak up. Pretty much the same case for violent crime, unless you get killed, no one gives 2 shyts about what happened and the only reason someone cares about the murder is that there are no people who will move the bodies out of the way.

      If you refuse to charge anyone with stealing so long as the value of the merchandise is lower than $950, ya that might produce lower crime rates.

      These politicians depend on dishonest and dumb people buying their bullshit and passing it on. Their careers depend on it.

        Not sure if this is true or not, these are just your opinions.

        Walmart has recently started implementing AI theft detection at self checkout, tons of arrests. https://www.the-sun.com/news/6503218...how-they-know/

          I'm going to need more than a poorly made meme to believe a word from the mouth of SBR's biggest liar. You are here daily spewing Trump propaganda, no links, no evidence.

          I post links to legitimate articles that show their sources, if you disagree, I would like to see a countering source, but I can't take you at your word.

            California Penal Code 459.5 describes the crime of shoplifting as entering an open business during their normal hours with intent to steal merchandise valued at $950 or less. PC 459.5 shoplifting is stealing items valued at under $950 and a misdemeanor crime.

                  The incidence of violent crime dropped in the first three months of 2023 relative to the same period in 2022, according to the Major Cities Chiefs Association, a consortium of law enforcement agencies from the 70 largest cities across the country.

                      its just an example. Other States have similar laws but with lower dollar amounts.

                      What is the theft law in Chicago?
                      Theft in Chicago
                      The law says that the theft of property not from the person and not exceeding $500 in value is a Class A misdemeanor. If the property doesn't exceed $500 in value but the theft was committed in a school or place of worship, or if the property is government property, it becomes a Class 4 felony.


                      Chicago police are no longer allowed to chase people on foot just for running away. Officers won't be allowed to chase people on foot if they suspect them of minor offenses such as parking violations, driving on suspended licenses or drinking alcohol in public.


                      Woman: (she sees a cop in a police car a few feet away) Help police! they just stole my purse. They are right there walking really fast across the street. Do you see them?

                      Cop: Ya we see them. How much is the purse worth?

                      Woman: what? what does that have to do with anything? I dunno, maybe $100?

                      Cop: Ok and how much in value was inside the purse would you say?

                      Woman: I donno. My iphone was in it.

                      Cop: What iphone model? Was it an iphone 8 or higher?

                        Threshold adjustments are standard practice and have been happening for a long time. The threshold for felony theft isn't going to be the same today as it was in 1850.

                          Ironically the same Trump voters who say it's black people who cause most crimes, don't know want to know that black voters are more concerned with violent crime than other. Maybe that's why they are so likely to vote for Biden as he has brought down the violent crime rate.

                          Black voters are particularly likely to say violent crime is a very important midterm issue.

                            To bring Florida's outdated theft statutes current and more aligned with those of other states, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill that increases the felony theft threshold from $300 to $750. This is the first such change to take effect in over 30 years.

                                Dwit wants to change the conversation to petty theft, but Americans could care less about people stealing from Walmart... There was a gun violence epidemic under Trump, but last year, the President brought Members of Congress from both parties together to secure the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act—the first significant piece of legislation to address the epidemic of gun violence in America’s communities in three decades.

                                This historic legislation expands background checks and funds crisis intervention, including red-flag laws, and helps keep guns out of the hands of people, including convicted dating partners, who are a danger to themselves and others. It makes historic investments in upstream violence prevention and reduction programs and addressing the youth mental crisis by expanding community violence prevention programs and expanding trauma informed services to mitigate the impact of violence. And it builds on the Administration’s efforts to crack down on ghost guns, rogue dealers, and gun trafficking.

                                Now we are seeing reduction in violent crimes across the country. We still need stronger gun legislation thought.
