Illegal immigration is a crime punishable by deportation, fine or jail time or both. Our immigration system is not broken but our failure to enforce our immigration laws is broken because they are not enforced. Crossing the border of any country is a crime. Even GOD say border and boundaries should be respected. There must be an extraction of due recompense for crimes committed including illegal immigration in order for a government to be characteristically just with all of its citizens.
1) There is no God, so no point using him as an authority.
2) borders get crossed all the time. The problem isn't crossing the border, it's what happens when they get here.
You see, it used to be that undocumented workers would come here for a few months, work in agriculture or construction, and then go home. Then the nativist idiots decided we needed to secure the border. Which means that instead of having to evade the border patrol weekly, they just come over and stay.
3) The thing was, before recently, if you got here, you were in. This is pretty much how all of our ancestors got here, including my grandfather, who just got on a boat, found a job and 4 years later was a citizen.
US troops secured the borders of Iraq and Afghanistan but cannot secure our own border? That is a crime. The troops Biden is sending to the border are babysitters.
Couple things to take apart. One was the abuse of Title 42 by Trump and Biden to not process border crossers in a timely manner. That just meant the regular number of people who would normally cross has backed up.
Second, the vast majority of undocumented came here legally, and their work, student or tourist visas have expired.
Third, we didn't secure the borders of Iraq or Afghanistan. People and stuff we didn't want crossing from neighboring countries still came in. this shows the foolishness of thinking you can "secure" a border.
Putting Mayorkas in charge of the border is like putting the child in charge of the candy store.
MAYORKAS and VP say the border is secure. If the border has never been less secure as it is now under Biden and Mayorkas. If it was would not have 3.5 million illegal crossings since Biden took office. We have a legal process for immigration and amnesty and it works and it should be enforced and respected.
Except that system is broken, which is why people are ignoring it. Close to 2 million people crossed the border when Trump was in charge, despite his best efforts.
