Our constitution mandates the federal government protect our borders from invasion. (25 million + illegal entries certianly qualifies as an invasion), it also allows Congress to make laws. Congress did make those laws, and some of those laws are immigration laws, making it unlawful to illegally cross our borders.
We have procedures for that…not going to happen.
Yep, no argument there. The problem is, our government has abdicated their responsibility in enforcing the borders and upholding immigration laws. States are now thumbing their nose at immigration laws and creating sanctuary cities, thus, they are breaking the law by harboring illegals.
Those illegals are commiting crimes. People have been raped and killed because of some of these illegals.
And let’s not even get into this new TikTok trend where illegals are providing information to other illegals on how to become squatters and take over other people’s property…yeah, that’s becoming a thing here.
So? We don’t live under a democracy here. It’s not mob rule. Even still, if one side or the other are not enforcing the laws, then they are in the wrong.
Let’s talk about that economy. Illegal immigration costs the US (taxpayers) 151 billion annually, and the contribute, what…20 billion? 30 billion from contributions to social security and state taxes? Seems to be a deficit, but the cost of the crimes that have occurred because of some of them (rapes and murders) cannot be monetized. Those people have to live with those horrors.
And, this claim about “well, the illegals do the jobs that Americans don’t want to do”, which is bs. SOME of them do, but they’ve been using that excuse for many years, and no matter how many millions of them we let cross, the story is all the same “we need them to do the jobs Americans won’t do”. It’s like a job quota that never seems to get filled. Why is that? It’s because they are not doing the jobs Americans won’t do, they are being released into the interior of the country, most of them, never to be seen again. That and/or they end up competing with citizen for jobs that Americans DO want, but I assure you, we don’t have 20 million illegals down in the southern U.S. picking lettuce.
Huh? It doesn’t matter if you are registered or not, if you broke the laws of our country by illegally crossing our borders, you are here against the laws.
And you want to talk about “humanity”? How humane is it that Biden has the “welcome” sign posted down at the border, enticing those people to make that brutal trek across Mexico, in order to illegally enter the country, some of whom end up dying due to the trip, or they get trafficked by the cartels and extorted for thousands of dollars. Some of these cartel members get paid up to $40,000 per illegal trafficked. Who’s paying that???
Also, on top of all of that, you are sitting there…wherever you are, advocating that anyone who wants to should be able to just show up and enter our country…from anywhere. You realize that no country operates that way right? Every country has border control. Hell, mexicos immigration laws are actually stricter than our own. If you are not a Mexican citizen you have almost no rights in Mexico and if caught in Mexico illegally, you’ll be deported immediately. Every other country has laws to enforce their borders, but apparently you want the US to give up its borders for the rest of the world.
Sorry, but that’s now how being a sovereign nation works.
