What are the chances of such people gaining employment in an economy that increasingly demands higher levels of technical education and degrees for employment?

Why are walls and fences required to "protect" our Capitol Building, but not the border?
The interesting thing about this thread is that you pretty much have the leftists admitting that they want open borders. They used to deny it.

This isn't true. It may be true within your social circle, but your circle is not the country as a whole. I live in a place that doesn't have many immigrants, yet the Taco Bells and car washes all seem to be staffed.

And they were required to prove that they could support themselves, and not rely on government help to survive.

Now, not so much.

Did you just compare America in 2021 to America in 1850??????

There are more illegal aliens in this nation now than the total population of the US in 1850

Democrats and their useful idiot followers are now openly admitting a lot of purely Marxist positions now. They feel emboldened and their America hating, anti Freedom positions are out in the open.

Simple answer is they do nothing but are extra votes for dems in future elections.

If some say they are escaping tough times..murderers, rapists, cartel, etc, and then if they are not screening these people at border and everyone comes in, then these murderers, rapists and cartel are coming in also.

This is AWFUL for our country. Thanks Corrupt Dementia Joe for turning out country into a mess of a 3rd world country. You're the best!

There is a legal process where almost anyone has the chance to move up here. But you need to pass a background check. No one with a clean background is going to bypass that route and sneak into the country.

Not true-

The people coming from Europe were literate in their own language and nearly all had a skill or type of employment that they had in Europe.

Completely 100% wrong.

30 million already in the US and millions more poised to enter the US.

The border is flooded with illegals due to Biden's idiotic open invitation. He has created a humanitarian crisis on the border.
