immigrants to backfill the very real decrease in our workforce numbers and keep our GDP growing. Our laws allow Undocumented Immigrants entry into the country, where they can work, pay taxes, etc. temporarily until our legal processes determine final status...e.g. Citizenship/'Green Card', or deportation.
Right mow, our system doesn't have the resources to handle the numbers of immigrants trying to enter, nor process the ones already here. Again, after much hard negotiating, a sweeping bipartisan Border Security and Immigration Bill was hammered out in early 2024 that addressed ALL our immigration issues...that fine effort was killed by Trump for the sole purpose of maintaining his #1 argument for election...absolutely disgusting. In essence, Trump has shut down all efforts to allow in, and process the immigrants NEEDED ot sustain our GDP and truly keep America Great. Instead of doing the hard work of finding and deporting ONLY the relatively few criminals among those immigrants, he's creating chaos...as Joe Rogan and Duncan Trussell note...watch their podcast...at least for the first 20 minutes.
