So these people need to come in legally. Too many at one time is overwhelming our system. They are being released into the streets without background checks and immunisations. What kind of jobs are they going to take in order to live in the cities they are coming to? We do need doctors, nurses,, engineers, teachers etc. The little bit they are making under the table suits them now since everything else is given to them by the cities and federal government.
I saw this saying on YouTube,” When the last one leaves Mexico, please turn.off the lights”.
Watched a program on CNN where Chinese and Russian spies are coming into our country illegally with the.masses. Nkat

Same as you are dragon lady. I do not have the financial means, political clout or health to do so. Maybe you do? What we do have is the vote.
I was expressing about how I feel about the immigrants breaking the law, not intending to start a war here. Being a moderate I see both sides of the aisle. I never realised how overrun Texas and Arizona were and still are.

Inspector, what was the lady who fell doing on the wall? Our country is very compassionate with the illegals but not so much with the veterans and homeless. Letting children start school in NYC with no immunisations and releasing unvetted people into the country. I really think that is not compassionate but.stupid. Unfortunately the buck stops with Biden. Heard on CNN that both Republicans and Democrats are fed up with the borders. Nkat Why would you compare helping illegals with helping veterans and the homeless? That's a false comparison, especially when all three depend on congress to make improvements. All of those issues require money. Where should that money come from? From the wealthy thieves who have bought congress to legislate in favor of wealthy thieves. Why don't we have a solid immigration policy? Because it serves as an issue to divide us. Why divide us? Divide and conquer for the wealthy thieves who want to control this country for their benefit. Wealthy thieves benefit from our division. Who is doing the dividing? Trump and the GOP. Fixing immigration policies will raise taxes on wealthy thieves. The same is true for fixing policies regarding veterans and the homeless. Don't frame it as immigration vs veterans and the homeless. There's plenty of money to fix all three. Framing one policy against another plays perfectly into what wealthy thieves want. You heard on CNN that both Republicans and Democrats are fed up with the borders. Then why aren't they doing something about it? It's on their shoulders, not Biden's.

Because I think that our citizens should come first. Why were all the tents being built now for the illegals not built for the homeless? I have to look at a YouTube clip that Republicans did have a plan but Biden would not sign it. Like my opinion counts, NOT So where is all this plenty of money coming from? Would help me if they lowered my taxes. Sell a piece of property. The government and state take more than their fair share in taxes. I believe in giving what the USA can to immigrants coming in legally. How fair is it to people doing the right thing applying to come into our country and the line jumpers being released because they climbed a fence or walked across a river?

How fair is it to people doing the right thing applying to come into our country and the line jumpers being released because they climbed a fence or walked across a river? NKat You just made my point. While you struggle to pay your taxes, wealthy pigs are paying at a much lower rate, if they pay anything at all. Virtually all of us pay a large share of our incomes to the government, whether it's federal/state income tax, property tax, sales tax, or tax tax, but corporations and the people who own/run them get to keep a much higher percentage of an already exorbitant income. You asked, "How fair is it to people doing the right thing applying to come into our country and the line jumpers being released because they climbed a fence or walked across a river?"It isn't fair. No one here suggested it was fair, but it's not Biden's fault. You said, Biden wouldn't sign an immigration bill the GOP passed. What was in the bill? Just because there's a bill doesn't mean it was any good. It wouldn't surprise me at all, since Republicans passed it, the bill was seriously flawed. I don't know. I believe this...Biden's heart is in the right place more than any Republican. I'm not suggesting Biden's always right. I'm simply saying, based on his record-breaking track record, I believe he always has the best interests of the American masses at heart. Regardless, he's the president we elected to represent our best interests. Who else are you going to vote for...Trump? I'm just beginning to entertain the possibility he might not be the nominee.

Going to close my part of this post. All my yapping did not solve anything. Life is not fair. Nkat Nothing gets solved on an internet forum. This is merely a place to express opinions. We're all happy when we find agreement, and there's no happiness in disagreement, but disagreement is a risk one takes when expressing opinions on a forum. When you put yourself out there, you might get all criticisms, all praises or more likely, some of both. Nothing about life is either fair or unfair. Things just happen in life. We've all experienced good things and bad things. Embrace all of it.

Congress could pass laws, to deal with surges at the southern border, it could pass a bill to have money for temp personal, and temp processing centers and money to send the people home, not back to Mexico for any other try at come acrossed.
But congress is lucky if it can pass a bill, to pay the bills for money spent, and to keep the government running.

With the GOP dominating the House nothing gets done, they are focused on political theater, with their silly pursuit of impeachment of President Biden. I didn't know that doing a good job was an impeachable offense...

Unless you are of Native American decent your distant relatives might have came here illegally looking for a better life, which you probably have now.
At times I see the GOP as a bunch of cry babies. If they don't like things the way they are instead of moaning, groaning, and crying about it, perhaps they could work on a solution to fix the problem without hurting people that are also seeking a better life.
Working towards a humane solution is better than beating up on those who are already hurting. I do not have the solution but I don't think picking on those who are already down is the way to go!
