[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. There is actually a shortage of immigrant labor in this country right now- we don’t have enough people to work as home health care aides, various jobs along the food supply chain, etc. There is no overpopulation or complicatedly large immigrant population.

2. Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, committed significantly less crime than native born Americans. If you want to see reduction or harmful crime, look to gun control, not immigration policy.

3. There is no ‘immigration line’ for these people. Read up on the different ways to get a visa- there is no path for many migrants. Yet, we depend on their labor.

4. There are ecological and cultural reasons not to have border walls. Again, easily googleable.

I feel sorry for you, OP. You hold so many mistaken beliefs and they are causing you undue worry. Please try to educate yourself before falling for far right tropes. The ignorance in your post is painful.

All of this. Number 4 is a huge one, imo. Further, walls don't work. There are ample examples of this throughout history, including pics and news of people scaling the existing wall easily. Finally, many "illegals" simply overstay visas. [b]They aren't trudging across the border.[/b][/quote]

DP.  Anyone with even a tiny shred of common sense would acknowledge the thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants who are, indeed, "trudging across the border."  Do many overstay their visas?  Of course.  But to pretend we aren't actually seeing masses of people simply walking across our border into our country is gaslighting at its finest.[/quote]
