Immigration, legal and not, is not the problem some are making it out to be

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

As of 2021, the U.S. population was 332 million. Estimates are that there are 11.5 million undocumented people living here, so that is only 3.5%.

The problem is thinking that is a problem, let alone believing it is a crisis of some kind.

We have a historically low unemployment rate currently 3.7%, so the undocumented are not only not the problem, we need them here.

Immigrants are the folks who had the gumption to take the risk to leave society's they were familiar with to resettle in strange surroundings and they typically thrive. These are the people you should want to be here with lower crime rates than native born Americans and hard workers.

We should process work permits for those who are here and hire more immigration court staff to rapidly process asylum claims.

Stop making the undocumented, who the vast majority of which are good decent people, live in limbo so the wealthy can profit from their cheap labor.

the real fear people have is the record amount of deadly fentanyl coming across the border and lax border security allowing people with bad intent to come through ! our border is wide open leaving the country wide open for another major terrorist attack ! secure the border and control the flow ! right now we dont know who's gotten into the country or for what reason they came .

Sanctuary Cities Seethe as Illegal Immigrants Actually Arrive

Abbott's goal is to squeeze the vise tighter on those politicians, to force them to change course on national immigration policy.

I am all for a good border, but the immigrants are not the issue economically.

Fentanyl? US guns and dollars into Mexico for drugs is the problem.

Immigrants (Legal) are the ones who had the gumption to go through the LEGAL system to get here.
That is not the problem, the problem is with the ILLEGAL aliens that come here unvetted and released
within our borders with a piece of paper to show up for a court date years from now, and this administration
doesn't have an issue with that.

I wonder how many nefarious people have crossed into our borders?

I am all for tightening up on illegal crossings, yes.

Illegal immigration is absolutely a huge problem.

Estimated by lying libs who want want all the foreigners they can find

The number is much higher

Not even ultra lib Pew Research agrees with you

Key findings about U.S. immigrants

Today, more than 40 million people living in the U.S. were born in another country, accounting for about one-fifth of the world’s migrants.

www.pewresearch.org

And their guess of 40 million may be too low

Mac-7 is unable to show how many are legal and hgow many not.

Immigration, not MAGAslum, is the life blood of America and its success.

In 1863, eg, 2/3ds of NYC was immigrant.

1880 witnessed a population that was almost 40% immigrant.

We really need to overhaul our entire immigration system but Congress punts. There isn’t much a president can do.

A lot of illegals came here legally and overstayed their visa. Fentanyl comes in because we don't have the manpower to search every truck that brings in onions etc etc. If you think the border is wide open you never have been to the southern border.

They were wrong like those saying we ahve 25mm illegals now.

We need to tighten the portals, and hire sufficient personnel to process and clear the numbers.

Both parties need to work together on this harry.

Like what? We signed on to the 1967 Protocol. I guess we could get out from under it but until that happens we do have obligations.

talking about the border.....

If so its only because that's a closely guarded secret by the government

But with a wide open border I doubt if the pinheads in washington really know
