The one where deportations were ever close to encounters. Like when the “border was shut down”

By the end of Biden presidency there will be roughly 8 million people crossing our border…8 million.
Right now we had as many illegals as there is total population of Los Angeles…by the time Biden leave it will be NY city.

By 2020 even with the pandemic we had 3.5 million. What city size is that?
The border needs fixing
Again the premise that the general platform is to allow unchecked immigration because of some bleeding heart intentions is false
Eta: it’s two million not 3.5

Indeed. There is good reason for it. But at one point or another there has to be a balance between allowing illegals to report crime, seek medical assistance etc and realizing that their addition to the population is not sustainable
I don’t have a solution.

It’s big part of solution. It creates corridors that helps funnel people.

Oh the end result i understand and agree with it wholeheartedly. I am talking about the implementation
Why is 2 million a year not sustainable?
That’s like .6% of our total population a year.

What percentage of the population is 50 on an island with 20k people on it?
Population ratio is irrelevant.
