I think we should shut down the border and regulate who's coming in and out. I don't have a problem with a reasonable number of legal immigration. Not sure what that number should be 1% or less of our population per year, that's around 3.3M a year, even that might be too much.

Having unchecked people flowing in is not what most people would want. Protecting borders and knowing who's coming in is not racists or xenophobic or whatever other nonsense the pro-globalism crowd spews.

I'm for closing the borders altogether and ending birthright citizenship. Then start rounding up anyone who has entered this country illegally no matter how long they've been here along with their children. We can start the process by not providing any services whatsoever to anyone who is in this country illegally. No food, shelter, clothing, education, employment and medical care. NOTHING! Next go after and prosecute any person or business that employs them. Then establish one language and one language only, ENGLISH. Nothing will be printed, advertised or spoken over the airwaves in any other language except ENGLISH. We have to create the most hostile environment as possible for these illegal invaders. If there's nothing here for them they will leave on their own volition. We don't owe these people a God damn thing.

They've given us the proverbial finger by saying we don't care about your stinkin' immigration laws. We're coming into your country whether you like it or not and when we get here you're gonna' take care of us and provide for us our every need. Too bad, we're here and we're not going anywhere. Unfortunately we have too many politicians and bleeding hearts that are willing to accommodate them.

No other country allows foreign invaders to enter illegally, work illegally, steal jobs, commit crimes, and evade taxes. It is complete insanity why we allow this to continue.

Do you honestly want opened borders where anyone can walk in and stay. This means that your birthright or your citizenship has no value today. If that what you truly want from this administration?


Our future here does not look good. We are experiencing high gas prices , inflation on all products and services. Higher taxes.



This will surely drive up rents, housing prices. It is a supply and demand kind of economy. We can also have an influx of wealthy foreigners buying homes here driving up the cost of homes.



My neighborhood here in Florida is having a building boom. We have many empty 10,000 square foot lots here and every block had at least one home or two or three homes being built.



I think we are in for very rough times. Crime and costs will be out of control. There have 200,000 people coming over the border each month already. Our tax dollars are flying , busing , housing ,feeding and clothing them and many will need medical care. This will cause medical care to skyrocket, food prices to soar, and everything will cost more. There is no end to it . 200,000 a month ,10 months that is one million people . The poor will get poorer.
Hhhhhheeeeeeeellllllllllll no!

No borders no nation. These are 90% Democrat voters.

We can crash as fast as Venezuela did, and then Western Civilization follows. New Dark Ages will follow that. Happy days for tyrants the world over. We are truly in danger now. And Kamala wonders about "root causes"? January 20, 2021 is THE root cause, look no further.

Child rape, child trafficking, child slave labor, the D party truly cares about people. Just ask them.

If you think it's that hilarious it explains how shows such as two broke girls keep getting commissioned.
Have you ever heard of planes flying into Mexico?

Just fly into Mexico and then walk across the border. It's happening all the time. Please pay attention.

Besides, you know what the thread is discussing when it comes to mass migration for the south, so you choose to divert with something different because you want to deflect the attention away from Biden and the Democrat disaster at the border.

That is an insult. If one wants to persuade someone else to their view of something, it is wise to not insult them first. Maybe you have forgotten basic manners.
Not only is it insulting it's not the complete picture.

Yes, there are some liberals with bleeding hearts who think the American taxpayer can save the world.

But, there are also greedy employers who want cheap labor.

To blame one side without a recognition of the other is to enable the continuation of illegals entering.

It also absolves the congress of their duty to protect the USA and the citizens. The congress needs to set immigration policy and stop leaving it up to the whims of whichever party holds the White House.

I would like to see the borders secured (Wall Built) so that an immigration program can be installed. We need qualified immigrants! Our birth rate will not support the existing population, and immigrants usually arrive young and eager to work.
What immigration program to be installed? We already have immigration policies and annual quotas. The topic is really about illegal immigration and virtual open borders is what is bringing them in. I don't care how eager to work any immigrants are whether they be here legally or illegally. Jobs first and foremost should go to Americans and for a fair wage. There are a whole host of problems that come from allowing in immigrants just because they are willing to work. Look at the entire picture.

this is bad news for those Americans who never launched. These illegals will rent a house for $3000 a month, move in 20 other people, everybody goes to work and everybody saves their money. They don't need to know more than 20 english words and they'll be ahead of those shiftless American youth in a matter of months.
