Cost is irrelevant to the "danger jefe, asylum!" "refugees" as it's the taxpayers who are on the hook for everything.

The world doesnt need more of them

It is frustrating when people dont understand or dont care that they are ruining the earth.
You want to blame poor people for "ruining the earth" when it's the richest countries that utilize more resources per capita, by far, than any of them? Yah. Ok.

And yes, the places that grow fastest tend to be poor, or more precisely the poor with higher mortality rates tend to procreate more. That's biology. It's the basis for R vs K reproduction strategies. We know how to help with that issue, but again, we do very little to do so.

We need populations to grow. At least in mass its growing. Trust me being in places that are flat or shrinking is much harder.

Anyway, keep them coming and maybe send some trashy junky m*******s down there to trade.

Florida can have some of Boston's undesired homeless drug addicts from Mass and Cass. Land them directly in Tallahassee or better yet Coral Gables or Palm Beach but not Miami.

One possibility might be that it becomes a real hot problem that eventually burns itself out as the hard drug users pass on. Like a fever or virus.

Face it, most people don't use hard drugs, only a small minority.

Why do you not start naming "all the free stuff"? Thank you.

There is no such infrastructure left in the border towns. Take a trip and see for yourself please. Trash, crime, violence - it is not pretty.

Where do you get this wrath from? The Ft. Worth Forum has a poster who wants shap sharp shooters to kill them off. Yes!
Those kids are humans. Humans who have probably seen and heard more than you and your family can imagine. They want an education to be able to compete in the market. Has that not always been the American Dream - free, make a living, buy a house, a fridge, a car, raise the kids? All are equal and some more so.
