But the situation is nothing the same. Expectations of the "migrants" themselves was much different then. Now we have people coming here from places like Syria, China, Iran, and we really dont know who they are because we dont have the manpower to physically sort out who everyone is.
This puts us at greater risk than ever, and we are recieving more of these people than ever who are taking advantage of the LAX attitude that was implemented on day one of the Biden administration.
Now that anyone and everyone South of the border seems to think they will be released into the U.S. without a hitch if they simply show up and say they are seeking assylum. The whole concept has been watered down and basically an open corridor has been opened up that has not existed under any president.
Why under Reagan then did you not see Migrants sleeping in school buildings and hotels, or living out on the streets in the conditions they are today? Or if not that they are now being giving housing and food credits that should be going to needy Americans..
8 million in 4 years now, is nothing like we have ever seen before and there is no will to stop it. Democrats cannot come up with a stand alone border proposal because they are not serious about the situation.
Much like yourself. You see no problem. They see no problem. ...ahhh all except for the mayors of towns who are being swamped and seeing their budgets decimated...
