    The wealthy may employ illegals but they are not to blame for Biden letting the illegals into America.

    They are always so intent on 'owning the libs' that they don't really think things through.

    You haven't substantiated that 800 is a daily rate. And the rest is just tired rhetoric which doesn't do much to assess problems or solutions in workable terms. I'm also curious just how much this actually factors into "expenses", or whether it's based more on just appeals to emotion over reason and logic.

    The numbers are through the roof. Additionally they bring in covid.


    White House Refuses to Endorse Vaccine Mandate for Migrants Released into U.S.

    President Joe Biden continues promoting coronavirus vaccine mandates for American citizens, but the White House still struggles to explain why that standard is not applied to migrants crossing the Southern border.

    White House press secretary Jen Psaki ignored a question Thursday asking if the administration wants to apply the same vaccine standards proposed for foreign visitors to migrants released into the United States.

    ...In McAllen, Texas, 7,000 migrants who were positive for the virus have been released into the city since February, including 1,500 people in the last seven days. McAllen declared a state of disaster in response to the crisis, opening up funding allowing them to tackle the crisis.

    You are new here.... My first piece of advice is take EVERYTHING from that poster and that source with a serious grain of salt...

    At least one of them is a renowned source of misinformation....

    So what are you denying, the horde of illegals, or many of them untested and showing symptoms, or their refusal to take the vaccine, or that those sick and unvaccinated illegals are being shipped all across the country?

    Several reasons. He supports the influx of illegals.

    If they continue to cause spikes in cases that is more justification for his lockdowns.

    The administration can not credibly defend lockdowns, masks, and travel restrictions while ignoring covid at the border- so the administration just refuses to answer and very few journalists would ask anyway.

    Its easier for him to smear the messenger.

    Then he can avoid those pesky facts and the questions they bring up.

    I don’t need to substantiate 800 as a daily rate. 800 a day, or 700 a day makes no difference.

    Does it to you?

    Yep, just one is too many. You might not know this, or maybe you’ve never heard this before, but we are a nation of laws and no one is above the law. Every person who crawled through a hole in a fence, swam across a river, or pole vaulted over a wall broke those laws. Just thought you’d like to know. Pass it on to a liberal near you.

    Joe Biden is Recreating “The Camp of The Saints” at the US Border

    ...But make no mistake: The crisis has never abated for one moment since Joe Biden took office. It has only gotten steadily worse, day after day. In February, 101,000 migrants streamed over the 1,954-mile line on a map that is ever-less-accurately described as a “border.” In March, the migrant count surged to a record 170,000, and that records has been broken every month since. In July, it cleared 210,000. More than a million illegal immigrants have entered the country in the past six months. And they are still coming.

    Asking a lefty to consider long term affects is asking the impossible. Scoring political points right now is all that matters.

    They’re not orphans, their families are in Mexico, or some other shithole, and the kids were separated from their families who are in the only country they’ve ever known.
