The Migrant Crisis on both sides of our Borders stems from the utter boneheaded Foreign Affairs and to a lesser extent the Business Cycles that the Federal Reserve creates in our Bubble Economy. If the US Government had never contributed to destabilize Other Sovereign Countries for control over their Natural Resources with our so called Foreign Aid, Sanctions, Trade Embargoes, and Arm Sales, we wouldn't be experiencing the unintentional consequences of our porous Borders on both Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽.
Our utter ignorance of Foreign Affairs is obvious to anyone since the US Government supported vicious Dictators and Oligarchs in Sovereign Countries which brutalized and impoverished their Citizenry using the Militaries, then they're seen as our Puppets by their Citizenry. It’s contributing to the very chaos you're viewing now at the Border. The US Citizenry is asked to subsidize for the cost of "Free" Education and Healthcare Benefits for Migrants and Refugees who invade our Borders desperate to care for their families due to their Countries being destabilized to begin with.
Your Government created the very same problems US Taxpayers are now forced to pay for.
The Political Indentured Servants on Capitol Hill and State Capitols aren't about to tell anyone about the Financial Incentives and the Legalized Bribery they get for their support for these policies since they know they'll be hunted like big game animals, tarred, and feathered if their Constituents found out about all the Money Politicians get in their Coffers.
We create the Monsters we eventually become afraid of.

At least you called them illegals.
My husband and I were going to Boston for the Army/Navy game last December. Until our hotel reservation was canceled so they could house illegals. They said they were going to find us another hotel to stay at. When we found out where it was we declined and sold our tickets. It was over an hour and 15 minutes away. Which they failed to tell us.

Tell that to the people of Ashville.

Tell it to the Republican Senators and Representatives whose opposition lopped billions off of FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, and the Republican Senators and Representatives who voted against the bill in its final form. You’ll notice from the blurb I’m including that they were the only ones to vote against it. In fact, Mike Johnson said the funding is “sufficient” when clearly it is not, and doesn’t want to bring the House of Reprsentstives back into session to address that. Good thing Bidennis able to summon them for an emergency session.

Another indication that there is likely nothing to this claim is the fact that every time a right winger repeats this claim the amount magically grows by billions.

Unfortunately facts are not much good when dealing with emotional outbursts.

And of course all 25,000,000 have been properly vetted, right?
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
The whole thing about the adjective "illegal" is a crude smokescreen blown up by people who oppose immigration and asylum fullstop.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@sunsporter1649 I'm referring to the 95 odd % of them that fled those like you show.

The only way we are ever going to change the government is if all stop taking money from them, if all stop being dependent on them.
Why do you want to be controlled by other people?

Your description seems prudent also 'tax cuts. Most bebefit the biggest earners.

I prefer illegal immigrants to MAGA coup supporters. I’d give them funds first.
PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M
@Bumbles You would certainly be safer if we are basing things on facts.
trollslayer · 46-50, M
True. But try convincing the bigots.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@trollslayer What nationality is illegal immigrants?

@sunsporter1649 Totally different than allowing 5,000 per day and that was negotiable, but no, the Republicans shut down any discussion or voting.
Oh, and the emergency authority was shutting the border completely.
This was a Bill both parties worked to get put before both houses, so yeah, this is absolute proof they (Trump and the MAGA crowd) want the border as a tool.

@Ontheroad Yeah, 4,999 a day is less than 5,000 a day, you finally got something correct
Ontheroad · M
Are you purposefully missing the point? I think not, you just want to go on and on about nothing.
There was every opportunity to pass meaningful legislation and the Republicans refused.
That's it, and I'm done going back and forth.

Tell that to my bff in Denver that got kicked out of her weekly motel room she was staying in so that a migrant would get it.
