Naw. The invasion has been going on since the day Joe Biden was elected. His government has happily let in millions of illegal aliens who want to come in.

Tomorrow is just they day they make their surrender to this invasion official.
A low fertility rate, worldwide, encourages immigration. And what's your plan for more native women to have more babies? Free Day Care might get more women to have babies. More Food stamps for women to have more babies? Any other ideas to increase the fertility rate?

1) If you're a slave-owner, it is much cheaper to import adult slaves than to spend 18 years feeding, clothing, and housing them(plus putting their mother out of work for 9 months or more).

2) None of those policies would increase fertility rates, and increasing fertility rates is actually incredibly simple.

Huh? So you're saying that all of these "migrants" are coming here to help populate our country because they feel sorry for us?

Yes, we could have more incentives for American women to increase their birthrates. However, I'm not so sure we even need to do that. What's wrong with lower birthrates? We had a much smaller population decades ago and we did just fine. There were more jobs, resources, etc. for everyone. The economy and the almighty dollar isn't everything. A smaller economy to fit a smaller population is healthier for everyone.

Wrong again bucko. China would be irrelevant if there weren't 1.4 billion people. Do you want to rule the world or be ruled by China?

A much better economy than what Biden* is giving us would be a good place to start.

Keep in mind President Biden has ordered 1,500 troops to the border, not to prevent tens of thousands of foreign nationals from flooding across our border each week, but to help process them, after which they will be transported to the interior of our country where American citizens will pay the consequences of this ongoing invasion of the United States.

Put up a 40 foot wall on the border, there would never be another migrant ever again. Why is everyone acting stupid?

1) Pretty sure nearly half of all illegal immigrants just overstayed their visas.

2) There are sophisticated tunneling operations that go under the wall or undermine its structural integrity.

3) Most migrants make asylum claims and our current policy is catch and release.

4) Corporations don't want to stop illegal-immigration. The purpose of border enforcement is to keep out criminals and to slow down drug-smugglers. It is not to impose a total lockdown.

5) America has a long-standing relationship with Mexico and the rest of Latin-America. We're very cautious about appearing too hostile, and we would like to fully integrate with the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

Depressing as all heck and I shudder to think of the long term ramifications. Considering how drastically out of hand things have gotten I can't help but wonder if measures akin to Eisenhower's back in the 50s are necessary to do something about the tidal wave of unidentifiable migrants pouring in - i.e a mass campaign to deport illicit migrants residing throughout the country.

What happened to the remonstrations of automation being the future and millions of jobs becoming obsolete as technology progresses? We keep hearing about this profound earnest need to maintain a flow of migrants (most of whom will be relying on social services themselves) to keep up the tax flow and GDP growth but strangely there's a peculiar neglect of the other side of the coin with this push towards robotics which you'd think would serve as a kind of stopgap to decreased human labour supply.
