I agree. Texas has really dropped the ball here. [/quote]

How do you blame Texas?  This is a federal government issue.  The Biden administration has made it clear that it welcomes undocumented immigrants.  What do you expect to happen?[/quote]

How on earth is Texas to blame for Biden's utter failure at the border?  Immediately upon taking office in Jan. 2021, he reversed all initiatives that were helping to control border numbers.  This is ALL ON BIDEN, 100%.[/quote]

Hate to break it to you cupcake, but illegals were still swarming across the border under Trump.  They were cutting through his fancy new ridiculously expensive wall with battery powered angle grinders.  They were building tunnels.  They were smuggling people in trucks and every other way.  But do go on blissfully and ignorantly thinking everything was solved under Trump.[/quote]

I never said "everything was solved" under Trump.  I stated that his initiatives were helping to control border numbers, and I stand by that.  Only an utter loon would claim that illegal immigration has not skyrocketed under Biden.  Don't waste our time with your ridiculous defenses and apologies for Biden's god-awful administration and complete lack of control at the border.  [/quote]

Complete lack of control?  You must have missed all of the apprehensions that have been happening.  You do know that means "stopped at the border and arrested" don't you?  Please stop wasting OUR time with your outright hyperbolic lies like "complete lack of control."[/quote]

My God you are dense. 
There were 1.7 million border encounters in 2021. 
Nearly 2 million already for 2022.  
These are record numbers.  
And, they don't include the record number of got aways under Biden..... somewhere around 800,000.
Do you have any idea how many of those "stopped at the border and arrested" have also been released INTO OUR COUNTRY?  More than a million. 
[quote]The latest Biden administration disclosures in Biden v. Texas reveal that in May, DHS released 95,318 migrants CBP had encountered at the Southwest border into the United States, bringing the total of illegal migrant releases there under the Biden administration to 1,049,532 — a population larger than the number of residents in the president’s home state of Delaware, at a rate of 2,115 per day.[/quote]

This document is a few months old, but has some stats that may help inform you:
https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000017f-d8bd-d522-ab7f-debd59400000

And, because of the constant surge at the border, CBP agents are busy babysitting, processing, and transporting migrants and are not patrolling our borders.  That is how the record amount of fentanyl is coming in along with criminals and other "got aways."

You cannot possibly justify Biden's "border policy" because he doesn't appear to have any.  He took away everything that was working and replaced it with NOTHING. 
His administration has been totally inept... unless of course, allowing millions to illegally enter our country is their intent.  Which it appears to be.  
[/quote]

"Border Encounter" DOES NOT MEAN "welcomed in."  
Your claims of "nothing" are a lie.

Nothing would mean he shut down Border Patrol and abandoned the border checkpoints.  We obviously did not even remotely do that.

Stop with the ludicrous hyperbole.[/quote]

Tell us about an action Biden has taken to increase border security.  
And, you must have missed the part that over 1 million have indeed been welcomed into our country.  [/quote]

DP. And yet labor shortages are still everywhere.  Literally everywhere. Something doesn't add up.[/quote]

Yeah, all time high stimulus and debt balances not to work.

And sorry to say, unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal economic migrants are not craftsmen, teachers, aides, nurses, truckers, retail managers, customer service call center types, pilots, plumbers, or even good drivers who know road rules in America.

Let's explore that thought of stimulus for a minute.  There were three rounds of stimulus checks, the last of which was March 11th, 2021 - almost 16 months ago.  If you're saying those modest stimulus checks, are somehow STILL driving inflation today, 16 months later, then I'd say they were wildly successful at helping people make it through the pandemic and keeping our economy afloat.  Now, exactly how much longer do you think people can splurge and spend on checks that ran out 16 months ago?  Hmm?  If it was stimulus that is driving inflation, then it should be ending.

[b]Second, as for your characterization of these immigrants, clearly you have never looked closely at construction crews, kitchen staff, building maintenance crews, landscaping crews, and so on.  They do plumbing, wiring, tiling, framing, painting, masonry, cooking, locksmithing, auto repair, tree trimming, and a great many other trades.[/quote][/b]

Exactly! I don't know where the PP lives but in No. VA where I live, pretty much all the jobs you enumerated are done by immigrants and I have personally availed of the services of immigrants performing most of these tasks. I would add to your list: nursing home aides (I am still grateful for those immigrants who took care of my dad in his last days), home health aides, nannies, daycare workers, house cleaners, commercial space cleaners, hotel housekeepers, maintenance workers, meat packing industry workers, agricultural workers, seafood processing workers, and on and on. Our economy could not function without all these immigrants. So eff off PP with your clearly xenophobic toxicity.[/quote]

DP.  You do realize we’re discussing ILLEGAL immigration, right?  Not those who come here LEGALLY, on a work permit.  You morons actually don’t seem to understand the difference.[/quote]

Who really knows who is legal or illegal? Heck, many employers never check visa status or, if they do, they are sometimes given false information. So the distinction between legal/illegal doesn't matter that much--people from certain parts of the world will try to emigrate, legally or not, due to conditions in their home countries. You were commenting on the [b]quality[/b] of the migrants. You said they were: "unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal economic migrants."  Well, those "unskilled, uneducated illiterate, illegal economic migrants" perform many essential services that most Americans will not do. And their "credentials" are often the same, whether they come here legally or not.

For the record, my FIL, an immigrant from Ireland, had only basic farm skills, a grade school education, and was barely literate when he came here. Ditto my European grandparents who immigrated here. They ALL came as economic migrants. What else do you think most people come for?
