[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is immigration bad? A lot of the people coming here from other places are better than a lot of the people born here. [/quote]

One thing’s sure for sure. They’re harder workers. [/quote]
Don’t know yet. Pay Americans proper wages and you may get harder workers.

Keep exploiting migrants and it seems worth it. Legalize these people and you will have to pay them more which then brings us back to paying Americans proper wages. So let’s close the border and skip to the part where we pay people appropriately.[/quote]

Hmm, which party has been promoting the wage increases and higher minimum wage?[/quote]
But then why would that same party continue to allow exploited migrants that subvert any of those efforts.[/quote]

They’re trying to improve the immigration system but the GOP is sitting on its hands while screaming about a crisis. [/quote]
Their current deal is trying to enshrine illegal immigration into policy. Sorry no thanks.[/quote]

As confirmed by [b]Republican[/b] Senator Lankford, this talking point is total BS.  [/quote]
Have you seen the reporting on this deal?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/26/politics/senate-deal-shutdown-border/index.html

“Under the soon-to-be-released package, the Department of Homeland Security would be granted new emergency authority to shut down the border if daily average migrant encounters reach 4,000 over a one-week span. If migrant crossings increase above 5,000 on average per day on a given week, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants crossing illegally not entering at ports of entry. Certain migrants would be allowed to stay if they prove to be fleeing torture or persecution in their countries.”

Yes, I’ve seen it.  And it’s consistent with what Lankford is saying.  It gives new emergency removal authorities for when migrant numbers surge.  It doesn’t take away the other authorities or normalize anything.  That’s just a dumb talking point.  Republicans have been arguing for immediate removals for a long time and now when it’s on the table they say no.  That’s bad faith and even super conservative republicans like Lankford recognize it.[/quote]
