Not always. we've had a couple times where we had moratoriums on immigration.The immigrants have always come and always will come.
As a fact of law an immigrant isn’t illegal until his application for refugee status has been denied in an immigration court – that an immigrant might be undocumented doesn’t mean he’s ‘illegal.’Do you want the border closed or should the USA welcome all poor migrants who want to come here, no question asked?
Does the U.S. economy have to have illegal migrants for 'jobs Americans won't do'?
New York city will almost certainly create tent cities for the migrants complete with bathroom and shower facilities and of course these people will also need clothing, food, medical care, education for their children. Is it right, humanitarian, just that the federal government, i.e. your tax dollars, cover the substantial costs involved?
Does the plight of the poor migrants who just want a better life justify some rapists, drug dealers, thieves, violent gang members, terrorists coming across the southern border with them?
The border patrol says most migrants are coming from Mexico, Central and South America but among them are people from more than 100 different countries. Counting those we know about plus those who eluded the border patrol, we are on track to add 4 to 5 million more migrants to the U.S. population in 2021 and 2022 alone. How many can we take until there are no more resources for us to help them or anybody else or maybe ourselves?
Current polls say that the economy and national security are the greatest concerns of American voters right now, but immigration is high up there. While Biden and KJP continue to say the border is secure on national television, if the MSM was reporting the crisis on the border, immigration could be equal with the economy.
But what say you?
True.The immigrants have always come and always will come.
As a fact of law an immigrant isn’t illegal until his application for refugee status has been denied in an immigration court – that an immigrant might be undocumented doesn’t mean he’s ‘illegal.’
Refugees seeking asylum are allowed up to 30 days from entry to apply for refugee status and are entitled to a presumption of innocence and comprehensive due process of the law.
The better question is how does one feel about immigrants with brown or black skin who speak Spanish or Creole coming into the country – regardless their immigration status.
No you don't...That is the way it is supposed to be. If you need to escape your country you go to the nearest country that will accept you. That most migrants come through multiple countries to get here makes it not an issue of asylum but more like an invasion.
All three choices are badDo you want the border closed or should the USA welcome all poor migrants who want to come here, no question asked?

I don't think there is anything specific regarding that. During the Reagan administration, the government specified the countries from which asylum could be requested. Economic distress was NOT considered sufficient for asylum. All that got blurred in subsequent administrations.our asylum laws say they cant cross several countries to get here,,

A lot of them are taking a boat or plane from somewhere. Many are among the caravans coming up from Central and South America.Given they are coming from over 100 other countries, these "refugees" need to take a boat or plane to Mexico first.
USMB grabbed my post and posted it before I could get them in. I just edited the poll options. You can change your vote.I don't see a poll option that says "America is for Americans and if you don't go through the entrance program you don't belong here".
I'm ok with foreigners coming here if they become legal us citizens by going through the citizenship program.
Illegals are just that, illegal. They don't belong here.
If I were someone that came here and went through the citizenship program I'd be pissed to see illegals just walking in with no problem.
True.
Immigration and immigrants are America’s greatest asset.
Democracy and liberty thrive on diversity and inclusion.
"Legal immigration occurs when a non-citizen alien is in the United States legally under permanent resident status, or are green card holders. Permanent resident status can be granted to certain classes of aliens."As a fact of law an immigrant isn’t illegal until his application for refugee status has been denied in an immigration court – that an immigrant might be undocumented doesn’t mean he’s ‘illegal.’

probably ...but lots less. I'm for a moratorium at this time.Yet, immigrants still came.
Where is the evidence for that?True.

And you have evidence for your assertion, correct?Democracy and liberty thrive on diversity and inclusion.
