[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Immigrants are taking up space in our local shelters and the unhoused population has grown by 12%.

Think there’s a connection?  [/quote]

The Washington Post reported that roughly 15,000 unauthorized migrants are being released every week. That works out to over 750,000 over the course of a year. Expect those numbers to rise once people adjust to the post-Title 42 reality wherein these migrants are reclassified to make border crossings look improved.

This is unacceptable.

Proponents of accommodating more and more migrants through creating border numbers gimmicks and providing resources often cite compassion and labor shortages.

However, opinion editor and columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon rejects both arguments. What kind of compassion turns children into a "valuable commodity?" she asks, "many are attached as an entry prop to people who aren't their parents, because the United States doesn't detain families. Once inside, the kids are sent to work menial jobs to pay off their debt to the cartels."

Furthermore, Ungar-Sargon observes, these policies "undercut the American working class at a time when the tight labor market should be delivering huge wage increases."

I hope that more Democrats will embrace a prevention approach to our border crisis by supporting policies like E-Verify, child labor and asylum and parole abuse reforms that were included in the House-passed H.R. 2.
