[quote=Anonymous]I've been on sabbatical from DCUM for a while - must say it was refreshing. But I'm bored now and felt the need to addess OP's original question.

First, OP needs to understand terminology and context.  We are not talking about "legal" immigration. We are not talking about the normal "drip" illegal immigration. We are also not talking about the properly vetted asylum seekers.

Second, OP needs to understand that this is not solely an issue in the US. It is a global issue and crisis.

Italy is a prime example...back in 2021 it was touted as being the only country that "welcomes everyone from the Mediterranean."

Fast forward to 2024 and we see this: [url]https://www.msuilr.org/new-blog/2024/3/1/building-the-wall-around-southern-europe-a-look-into-italys-future-with-the-recent-election-of-an-extreme-anti-immigrant-far-right-party[/url]

OP, you should read below article from yesterday:
[url]https://www.politico.eu/article/ursula-von-der-leyen-deportations-eu-migration-anti-immigrant-parties-borders-asylum/[/url]
[i]More than half of EU member countries, including France and Germany, asked the EU to toughen up its deportations policy ahead of 27 EU leaders meeting Thursday — and now the head of the EU’s powerful chief executive is putting her rubber stamp on deportations.

Von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said in a press conference that leaders had discussed setting up deportation centers outside the EU’s borders, referring to them as “return hubs.” [/i]

This is a global crisis. The US needs to get on board with similar immigration reform policies occurring in the EU -- building walls and setting up deportation centers outside US borders - return hubs. Regardless of who wins...this must be done. So yes, it is a huge...in fact global issue that should be addressed by POTUS nominees.
