@jackjjackson Because Russia is a [i]really[/i] long ways to travel from Latin America, and, as you said, it’s a hell hole, as bad as or worse than where they came from. Most that come across the southern border illegally are escaping desperate circumstances at home (poverty, death threats, etc.), so staying home isn’t a choice either.
There are some ethical things we can do to limit illegal immigration (separating children from their parents is [i]not[/i] one of them), but the GOP has demonstrated that they are not willing to cooperate in good faith to get anything done about the matter because they have made the cynical calculation that President Biden will get the blame at the polls this fall for their inaction now.
Don’t be such a Biden lover. His proposal had 17% going to the Border, 30% to Israel and the rest to Ukraine. No one in their right mind would agree to that. Without the approval of Congress Biden has bastardized a working to a degree immigration law. We need an updated law dealing with long time illegals in the US and providing a reasonable path to citizenship and a sensible restrictive border and immigration policy that is enforced. Copying Canada’s for example would be great as long as it’s enforced. Your comments are those of a partisan hack not someone seeking a real solution to make the lives of US citizens better. That must become the government’s number one priority. @Theyitis
Not my problem. Canada doesn’t have open borders and neither should we. Mexico wouldn’t let them in except for the fact that they are quickly leaving. @TrashCat
@jackjjackson americas borders arent open there are cameras patrols fencing. Etc. Certainly it isnt boarded up either but there are checkpoints. Fencing in some areas and cameras. Why be so dramatic about it? Its ultimately a line in the sand. Grow up.
Sure. There are ports of entry and various barriers. However lack of follow up on what were originally legal with visas etc. who’ve disappeared and the law to find them is not being enforced and illegals what get through various un or under barriered areas make the southern border effectively open. For example compare all that with the way CANADA enforcing its border with NY. . @exchrist
@jackjjackson Except the Republicans were going to agree to it until Traitor Tot ordered them to kill it. Can’t let Biden solve the border crisis when it’s Twitler’s signature issue.
