Think again. It's inevitable.

Think there’s a connection?

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.

It is win win for the host country and the home country. The workers are not permanent--their goal is to build up equity and return home. They are screened criminally and health wise, and employers are required to pay for their travel home once a year. Win-win. But we don't want that in the US for some reason.

We dislike the area’s needy phony asylum, unskilled economic migrants. They are a net negative for the roads, EZ rooms, public schools, welfare, black market jobs/employers.

Then instead of complaining here, how about you go out and lobby every Republican member of Congress to increase funding and resources to speed up processing, hearings and detention, and to partner with the countries sending these migrants with concerted campaigns to counter the lies and false promises spread by the cartels who are falsely telling everyone they will be automatically accepted regardless of whether they qualify for asylum, to counter the lies that there are plentiful jobs for unskilled workers, to counter the lies that America will house and feed them for free. And don't take no for an answer.

I have a better idea, let's cut off all funding to these corrupt countries and refuse to reinstate it until they take these people back and keep there borders secured. That will get their attention. We can't take care of our own homeless, poor families and such, we sure as f do not have to send foreign aide to countries who undermine our very security while laughing in our faces. Until every child in the United States of America (who is a citizen) is provided for and cared for I could give two f's about helping the rest of the world. Look what we are getting in return, it ain't pretty. But I do think it's cute that you think walking through the streets of these s hole countries and trying to get their own citizens to accept that things aren't better here than they countries is really cute. And what the cartels and the illegals immigrants own family members already residing in the US are telling them is true, get here, that's all you need to do. Heck if you make it to NY you get a free five star hotel room and three squares a day. They live like kings and queens compared to where they come for, and we pay for it.

Wow. How clueless. That will only result in MORE migrants coming to our borders.

This is something Biden and Harris should be doing. But it seems they have poor relationships with leaders south of our country.

No oh great one, they do not care. Wrap your little mind around that, they do not care. There agenda is to bring in as many voters (legal or not), allow them to vote and ply them with free stuff and promises of the future for their families to come to this country. All Biden (jeez, he's such an idiot) has to do is shut the border down, it really is that simple. The damage is done, I would guess two to three plus million have already come in and they'll be another five million over the next two years. Better learn Spanish.
