Because these illegals are the poor, uneducated and unskilled that are a tax burden on our society so we shouldn't allow them to come here legally either. We should only allow in skilled immigrants to fill "necessary" jobs.
I'm fine w/ unskilled immigrants coming in, so long as they are somewhat English literate, have enough money to support themselves for 3+ months, have a traceable background w/ no felony convictions, are healthy, & have a sponsor here.

But that's the problem those unskilled jobs do not pay enough for them to support themselves. Most of them do not speak English either. Who would actually sponsor them and be willing to pay for their upkeep? What about the added stress on our schools, healthcare facilities, natural and social resources?
Unless we do away with birthright citizenship for their kids they'd be able to tap into our welfare dollars to.

There is no reliable database to check their criminal backgrounds from their homeland, save Western Europe and a few East Asian countries.
Enough money to support themselves for 3+ months? Isn’t that counterintuitive to their economic plight? They should have 1 year minimum funds to sustain themselves and in that case, should come legally anyway.
Your English literacy requirement would pretty much disqualify 98% of them.
If something happens and they attack us within, the narrative will be spun.
It’ll be to intolerant to tie “grace be upon us immigrants” with terrorism. People will point out domestic mass shooters and Timothy McVeigh etc…
They’ve got it lined up already, you can be assured of that..
Exactly, just as they say when an illegal alien rapes, murders or kills someone in a DUI, that American citizens do all those things also.
Of course bad American citizens do such things, but that does not mean we want other countries criminals flooding into our country.
Rest assures some of the illegals are wanted criminals in their own country, but can just walk across our border and say they are being persecuted in their own country, and want asylum.
When Carter allowed Castro to empty his jails and insane asylums and send them all over here, the good Cubans were aghast at Carter allowing such. Not only would that look bad on the law abiding Cubans who wanted to assimilate into American culture with a good reputation, but they also knew those criminals and mentally deranged people would be harming them as well.

Yep, Their intentionally watering down the actual benefits citizenship entails. If a war broke out though, you can be assured they would calling upon patriotic Americans to fight the good fight for love of country.
That’s one of the reasons I don’t support helping Ukraine with so much of our tax dollars and other national resources. They can’t have it both ways.
Border Patrol agents arrested 38 individuals whose names were on the terror watchlist during a three-month period, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.
The apprehensions occurred during the months of October, November and December 2022, according to CBP data. The apprehensions come amid a surge in illegal migration at the southern border, with CBP recording an all-time high of more than 250,000 migrant encounters in the month of December alone.
I keep forgetting that the pro-illegals act like we have no reason to be angry over this.
I'm a bit confused. So dangerous criminals or terrorists were arrested, right? Isn't that a good thing? If the news was, "Dangerous criminals were successfully able to pass through the border," I can understand the outrage. But in this case, they were caught/arrested, like they were supposed to.

What are you guys outraged about?
We aren't angry that they were caught. We are angry at the attempts and those who didn't get caught!
If so, please explain how we counter the exposure to terorists, cartels, & other bad actors entering...& the lethal drugs?
