Take your emotion out of your decisions.

I'm not seeing with emotion. I'm counting the people I actually know who seem to be hiring illegal workers.

Small businesses hire illegals, and the owners of small service businesses tend to be Republicans. Wealthy white women hire illegals as nannies and housekeepers.

It seems the right cries out that we need to secure the borders, while they're secretly hiring illegals and paying them less than the going rate for their labor.

We can absolutely figure out a way to check an SSN for legitimacy. It would not be hard to give potential employers a way to check SSN numbers against the name and age and gender of the SSN holder. But we don't have that in place, do we? Why? I know why.

What's wrong with you people? So dense. Biden reversed what Trump has in place - stay in Mexico. It has been working great for years. Now the border is WIDE open and accepting everyone. People are flooding in and overwhelming the system. Where you been?

Unbelievable! Wow! You know enough people in your little neck of the woods to make a generalization about the whole country. Just wow!

Can this administration do anything they want and not have to answer to anyone? This just doesn't seem right. We're all watching all the illegals swarm in day in and day out without anyone able to stop it.

We watch it happen and are disgusted by it but nothing we can do? There has to be something. Everyone begs for Kamallla to see what is going on so she can witness it but she refuses and wanes nothing to do with it.

At what point can something be done? Do we have to have a big terrorist attack first? A ton of our children kidnapped to be sex slaves? Double the number of drug addicts and deaths from fentanyl?
You mean to tell me, the high and mighty Kamula the great, FAILED, on her assignment, from the fuhrerbunker.

Once again, why aren't people who are employing illegal immigrants getting in trouble more often? I'll at least give my locality credit where the owner/manager of a Mexican restaurant got in big trouble for smuggling in workers from Mexico. The Mexican restaurant is closed and still for sale. But this situation likely rarely happens across the country.

Huh? Do you ever go to Mexican owned restaurants and wonder how many of the workers barely able to speak English are working there legally? Do you ever observe roofers in your neighborhood and wonder from looking at them how many are actually legal? Maybe you don't, but I sure do!

Is there anything at all anyone can do to stop the border crisis?


Anyone?

Sure. Biden could un-rescind the Remain In Mexico policy, as well as the agreements we had with Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua et. al., and complete the wall.

But he won't do it, his handlers won't let him. So we're pretty much stuck.

Elections have consequences.

Mistakes in elections have even more consequences, as we are quickly finding out.
