[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They crossed the border illegally.  They may have a criminal record at how , you do not know.  They did not follow the law.  Many people have to wait for years to get a visa to come to the US and follow the rules.[/quote]

Not necessarily- millions of people are here under temporary protective status (TPS) which is a program started by Bush bc he didn’t want to deal with immigration reform.   It allows people from certain countries to enter the US legally and stay for defined time period. The problem is there was no mechanism to enforce how people who entered under TPS would leave.  Meanwhile, they got jobs, began paying no to social security. Bought houses, had kids, sent the kids to school and a vast majority of them (more so than naturally born US citizens) committed serious crimes.

Our immigration systems needs a real overhaul.  Not the tepid thing that Biden pushed that funded more law enforcement at the border but a real examination of how many immigrations our country can benefit from a year (and yes, we benefit greatly from immigration - we need the younger workers to support our m growing older population), and then change to existing programs that let people in legally to be bound to those numbers with an option for all to have a path to citizenship.   And sure, more border control can be thrown in as well as immediate deportation of pre citizenship immigrant arrested for a crime but illegal entry and crime are really not the root of the issue.
