The naïveté is thick enough to cut with a knife here.

Now we should be more like Europe?
No, but some really need to get their heads out of their arses and accept certain realities.
There are 47 million people in the US who identify as “black”.
There are over 23 million illegal aliens we know of. And climbing.
Let that sink in.

We are not Europe but a separate and distinct nation. We also have jus soli for citizenship which Europe does not have.
Don’t compare the US to Europe. We don’t want to give them an inferiority complex.

14 million. Half as many as illegals. Good point.

Now the Brandon administration is planning to bless people with asylum at the border without going through the judicial system. They are doing this because so many are claiming asylum. It is not legal, but so what? DACA.
The Brandon administration is now “officially” recognizing the connection between migration and climate change. Anything but take responsibility for their actions. Funny, I haven’t noticed a huge change in climate from 2020 to 2021.
The really funny part is that Democrats will say “Oh yeah, that’s what’s causing it. It isn’t Biden’s fault”.
What a load of hooey.
Drugs are pouring across the border. From the Center for Immigration Studies, dated Sept 15. “A review of CBP’s enforcement statistics reveals two things that are particularly interesting: First, CBP’s seizures of the lethal drug fentanyl are up this fiscal year. Second, most Border Patrol seizures of the narcotic are occurring at the Southwest border, and more of the stuff is being apprehended in wide-open areas near the border than at interior checkpoints. Due to the president’s immigration policies, however, the border is still open for cartels to push death, as a recent lawsuit explains…This year, CBP has seized a total of 9,337 pounds of fentanyl. Given the fact that two milligrams of fentanyl can be a deadly dose, that is enough to kill two billion-plus people — more than one-third of the world’s population…Further, through the first 10 months of FY 2021, CBP’s fentanyl seizures are already 94 percent higher than they were in all of FY 2020 (4,791 pounds), and 233 percent higher than in all of FY 2019 (2,804 pounds).” https://cis.org/Arthur/CBP-Border-Patrol-Fentanyl-Seizures-Southwest-Border.
Human Sex Trafficking is up…I posted earlier that the people known as “Gotaways” this year equal the total number of border encounters last year. “Good honest immigrants asking for asylum” in many cases is nothing more than Coyotes and Cartels who now run the southern border flooding the zone over here so they can distract our understaffed border patrol while they completely shred our laws over there.
Biden should be impeached over his complete neglect of the law and the way he has completely ignored the overwhelming crisis at our southern border. He won’t be because the effort right now would be a waste of time, the effort would fail (although if clueless Joe’s poll #'s keep dropping…)
Claiming that these people are legitimate asylum seekers and that our overwhelmed government is somehow able to keep track of them is partisan foolishness. The Biden Presidency has turned our southern border over to to the cartels, the drug dealers, the sex traffickers, and the coyotes.
The law doesn’t matter to the Biden administration.
That should be obvious at this point.

I was thinking GDP.
Allan
Based on?
No we don’t.
The more people buying stuff the higher the GDP.
Allan
And the more they buy it with government handouts, the higher the rate of inflation.

That’s just silly.
Some will get low paying jobs…but for the most part we are just going to be spending more taxpayer dollars that we don’t have to pay for the impoverished from other countries…

Do you understand that the whole asylum BS is a game? Virtually all of these people are bypassing other geographically closer countries, majority of which also accept asylum seekers. Why do think they are doing that? Why do you think that they are paying human smugglers for the trip to the US? Do you think it’s possibly because those other countries won’t give as much if at all any free stuff at their taxpayers expense?
“[A] vast majority of these families [from Central America] don’t show up in immigration court and they get an order in absentia, because they – not only did they enter the country illegally and go into hiding, they won’t appear in front of an immigration judge… [L]ook at the facts of what’s going on, look at how many families do not get a final fear finding from a judge – because most don’t; like 80 percent of them do not … So there’s a lot of fraud going on. And they know it, and they’re certainly not going to show up to a judge and, you know, present a fraudulent case. And 80 percent don’t get a fear finding. So … I think a majority of them are taking advantage of a low threshold, and there’s a lot of asylum fraud going on, and they’re hiding … They figured out the loopholes. They figured that, as I just said, they can come and have due process at great taxpayer expense and just disappear into society.”
Also from the link:
“But these migrants choose to come straight to America because it was all along a matter of destination not persecution. They want to come here for a better life, many to join family members who preceded them. To do that, they learned the drill: Turn yourself in to U.S. officials and ask for asylum, then disappear as you await your day in court.”
