Normally I’d agree with you, but John said its in invasion. He even used the word swarm as if to imply they are subhuman, some sort of rat like infestation. I’m surprised he’s not suggesting giant mouse trap like devices.
While the children of American citizens attending public schools are having activities cut to pay for the special needs of the children of those flooding across our border LINK]
and our nation’s health care system is being over burdened with the healthcare needs of those invading our country LINK
and taxpayer funded public housing meant to help our nation’s poor citizens is being filled with Central America’s poverty stricken population LINK
and the Biden Administration is housing the surge of foreigners flooding into our country from Central America in expensive hotels at taxpayer expense! LINK
The sad truth is, American citizens are sleeping in the streets while illegal entrants are housed in expensive hotels at taxpayer expense:

And after all this, all you have to offer is a snarky remark?

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want elderly American citizens, who paid into Medicare all their lives, to surrender and share their Medicare Trust fund with millions of illegal entrants who have invaded America’s borders.LINK
Well, since you advocate “From each according to their ability to pay, to each who needs help living a decent life.” ___ fallenturtle
I can understand why you posted that snarky remark, even though American Citizens are PAYING THE PRICE for Biden’s open border policy.

I think we can absorb them. I also think there is validity in concerns that we can’t afford to… but your presentation is a little much. Why do you have to go the dehumanization route?
Used to be a country had to go to war and pillage and enslave to get fresh talent. We’ve got people willingly traversing the Darién Gap as the middle leg of a journey and get upset about it.
Mr. BURKE thought it of importance to fill the country with useful men, such as farmers, mechanics, and manufacturers, and, therefore, would hold out every encouragement to them to emigrate to America. This class he would receive on liberal terms; and he was satisfied there would be room enough for them, and for their posterity, for five hundred years to come. There was another class of men, whom he did not think useful, and he did not care what impediments were thrown in their way; such as your European merchants, and factors of merchants, who come with a view of remaining so long as will enable them to acquire a fortune, and then they will leave the country, and carry off all their property with them. These people injure us more than they do us good, and, except in this last sentiment, I can compare them to nothing but leeches. They stick to us until they get their fill of our best blood, and then they fall off and leave us. I look upon the privilege of an American citizen to be an honorable one, and it ought not to be thrown away upon such people. There is another class also that I would interdict, that is, the convicts and criminals which they pour out of British jails. I wish sincerely some mode could be adopted to prevent the importation of such; but that, perhaps, is not in our power; the introduction of them ought to be considered as a high misdemeanor.

So, as it turns out, allowing the kind of foreigners who are now invading our southern border to stay here should be considered as a “high misdemeanor” !

As each day passes it appears the United States is being defeated from within without a shot being fired.
Yup! Free government cheese certainly does draw the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low-skilled, diseased, disabled and criminal populations of Central America:

Using terms that we might apply to an infestation of some pest like invasion and swarm is dehumanizing.
Many of the founders owned slaves which involves dehumanization magnitudes worse than what you wrote… so probably not the best source to prop up your argument.
Indeed, they had many great ideas and we should be forever grateful for the blood and sweat they put into founding this great nation. But by today’s moral standards they were worse than many of today’s conservatives. The women stuff I can kind of let slide because that was the times, but there were clearly plenty of people at the time of the founding that knew slavery was wrong and so the fact that some of them continued to keep slaves is pretty reprehensible.
