So basically they are aiding illegal acts.

yes

If the Republicans voted with the Democrats on funding for the border, it wouldn't be as bad. Check your options to learn the facts, boy.

​@@jul1440you are a privileged person who has yet to see the stagnating wages that result from cheap immigrant labor. Use some common sense. Who would a company rather pay? An American citizen who will unionize and fight for a living wage, or a Latin American migrant who will work for 300 dollars a week and be happy about it?

Mayorkas was the head of one of the Jewish NGOs in South America that is actually creating some of this. No accountability for this terrible man.

You don't have to look further than Japan to see what "no immigration allowed" looks like. It's the other extreme. Entire school districts being shut down due to no kids left. Their population is projected to shrink by half in 2100. China is also facing the same demographics nightmare.

[@jul1440]

That's because those are actual nations e.g., a country of one kind of native people (and a few minor tribes). That is something the United States could never be. It is the country of immigrants and will always be so. Even we Native Americans were Siberian immigrants once.

[@DivinityAwakened]

I don't think anyone here is advocating for zero immigration at all, we just know that we are taking too many and the strain on our system will be damaging for anyone who isn't filthy rich.

As altruistic as that may be, you cannot run a country this way. The US is not the Salvation Army and needs to have an organized process and a secure border. Migrants make our country better, but immigration chaos is unacceptable. We’re not a country at all if you don’t have a solvent border. Did you donate additional taxes for the housing and feeding of illegal immigrants?
