We are no longer assimilating new immigrants, most of whom are totally ignorant of our history and culture, and too many of whom actually hate us. No self respecting nation of earth allows itself to be invaded by millions of foreigners. NONE!
Today, I am in a DC suburb in Virginia. The wealth here is unbelievable. But these are not enterpreneurial geniuses enriching society with advanced technology and job creation. NOOOOO... these are federal administrative personnel, lobbyists, congressional staffers, and the professional infrastructural folks who support them, none of whom produce anything! They are all highly educated and drive BMWs, Mercedes, Lexuses and of course Teslas.
BUT... after dropping my grandchildren at school I just turned the corner and pulled in to fill up my tank and there on the side of the road were over a dozen Hispanic men just loitering in hopes that someone would come by and pick them up to do whatever manual work needed to be done (no doubt for wages well below the Californian minimum). I mean, no one here does any house repairs or yardwok themselves. Now... I am happy these young men have a work ethic... but who knows how many of their colleagues will chose less "worthy" ways of "earning" a living.
I also wonder how long this ultra-blue community will tolerate thee scenes in their everyday life and right next to their children's schools? All it will take is one local rape or worse by an illegal and this county will turn red.
What are the Dems thinking?
those laws, and right now they are insufficient for the challenge at hand...i.e. a sustained surge in the number of immigrant petitioners at our border. Our laws need to be changed in many ways to resolve this increase...i.e. decisions on the total number to be accepted...from which locations...for which reasons...how to humanely treat them...deport them, if necessary...as well as protect ourselves from those who could do us harm...in short, we need Congress to pass a bill that makes these decisions, and provides sufficient funding to make it happen.
Fortunately, we have a bi-partisan Senate Bill that addresses virtually all of the most important issues involved...but we have a Malignant Narcissist and his followers who have chosen a political talking point over a resolution to the Border Crisis.
As for why Dems are thinking the way they do...they happen to view immigrants as human beings in need...not unlike their forbearers...and, it can be fairly stated that they think a lot like Catholic Church does...as this excerpt from the document "Dignitas Infinita" urges...
--------------------
The work of emigrants
40. Migrants are among the first victims of the many forms of poverty. Not only is their dignity denied in their own countries, but their very lives are put at risk because they do not have the means to create a family, to work or to feed themselves. Once they arrive in the countries that should be able to receive them, "they are not considered worthy enough to participate in social life like anyone else, and it is forgotten that they have the same intrinsic dignity as any other person. [...] It will never be said that they are not human, but in practice, with the decisions and the way they are treated, it is expressed that they are considered less valuable, less important, less human". Therefore, it is always urgent to remember that "every migrant is a human person who, as such, possesses inalienable fundamental rights that must be respected by everyone and in every situation". Their welcome is an important and meaningful way of defending "the inalienable dignity of every human person regardless of origin, color or religion".

Note that the GOP candidate for President does not share this view of immigrants...your choice, Curly.

human beings they are and won't rip their families apart just for knocking on our door.
The Dems ONLY want to enforce those obscure and arcane laws they can use to harass their opposition.
People KNOW this and making clever arguments is like Bill Clinton saying that "It all depends on what your definition of is is."
you don't...listen to Sen. Lankford and learn how "Progress" is supposed to be made in this country...btw, pay special attention at the 11:40 mark to learn what that bill addresses when it comes to border security, but for sure, watch the entire video, since you have a LOT to learn.
They just know the country has been flooded with illegal aliens the past three years and this was not happening before. It’s like inflation… all people know is that the cost of food and gas has soared. This is what matters.
...a 2019 White House pronouncement.
See, Curly...even the loathsome DJT knew that the solution to a surge in immigrants (which he experienced in 2019) required Congress to pass new legislation...i.e. you're wrong about this issue...it's LAWS that make the difference...just like Sen. Lankford explained in the video.
You are rapidly changing from an 'enigma' to what could be called a full-on MAGA loser...is that your goal?

God in protecting it? And where is the “big, beautiful wall ” that Mexico was gonna pay for? Seems like Orange had both houses of Congress under GOP control for his first 2 years. Biden had the same advantage with D control for his first 2 years. Who was more successful in passing their agenda? Fraud.

And, obviously, it helps to be a bit paranoid and a bit xenophobic.
Wait till they are in your neighborhood and see if maybe you begin to see the border as more than a Republican talking point.
Oh! And Fox has by far the highest ratings (whereas no one watches NPR).. so maybe watching it provides insight into the direction the country is headed.
You suffer from Pauline Kaelism.
FYI: My chldren and grandchildren are mutli-racial/multi-cultural and I've lived abroad... so I'm terribly zenophobic. And go ahead and name a country with open borders.

Then again, it's a radio network.
payment for knowingly lying to its followers about a critically important issue...i.e. the fairness and security of our election system...furthermore, they have chosen not to apologize for their grievous ethical failure and continue to spread falsehoods and misinformation...for the sole purpose of making profits...and that audience of millions does not object...this is the tragic weakness...don't let yourself get sucked in to that crowd.
You know how our immigration system works...so direct your ire at Donald Trump and his zombies for not doing what needs to be done to resolve this issue of immigration. And you know that the vast majority of immigrants are simply here to get jobs earn livings and be free from the chaos in their former countries that threatened them and their children...so, treat them accordingly.
Again, don't be a non-thinking dupe for FOX and the GOP...especially that segment whose loyalty is to the man you should truly be opposed to...Donald Trump.
trees. Then they leave and his Ivory Tower looks good because of those individuals. But none of them actually can live is that neighborhood and that is the perfect situation.

But since it's on Fox news we should disregard it.
I mean if Fox was covering an asteroid heading directly toward earth... well... consider the source.
