With Mayor Bowser asking for National Guard help to deal with the 'humanitarian crisis' due to Abbott sending a few busloads of illegals to DC, the question remains. How many illegal migrants are too many?
On the news this morning, a CBP official said more than 2 million new illegal migrants crossed the border in 2021 and so far this year they know of 1.7+ million illegal migrant encounters and an unknown number, probably thousands, who have avoided the CBP. Thousands are arriving every day. Only a handful are detained. There is no effort to keep them out. In fact the CBP is not allowed to even try.
So my question for our leftists friends here is how many are too many? How many illegals can the U.S.A. take in, provide free phones, travel cash, free education, free health care, subsidized housing, provide drivers' licenses or legal ID cards, etc. etc. etc. before the USA becomes as poor as the countries those people left?
With petty and violent crime escalating to alarming levels in all places where there are concentrations of illegals, we know at least some are truly bad actors. The CBP reports that most of the women and many of the children, some as young as 8 and 10, have been sexually molested and/or brutally raped on the journey. Thousands of children are arriving unaccompanied by a relative. Child and sex trafficking is rampant. Thousands of pounds of illegal dangerous drugs are pouring across the border every month. Dozens of migrants die due to the dangers every month.
Biden and Mayorkas say the border is secure. What say you? Is all of this okay? Or not?
Multiple votes are permitted in the poll and you can change your vote.
Edit: P.S. I am using the term 'illegal migrants' intentionally because these people fit the description of 'illegal' per U.S. law. If you prefer, you can substitute "undocumented" for illegal as it does not change the thesis of the OP.
