The poster in question just loves to make stuff up. I wonder why.

Todayâs Fifth Column media ___ MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, in addition to Facebook, Twitter, Politico, Snopes, Fact Check⌠ETC., and countless Yellow Journalists who are socialist revolutionaries ___ make Russiaâs old Pravda, [an organ of the old Communist Party of the Soviet Union] look like propaganda amateurs.
He didnât say that they are all bad dudes. They are all poverty stricken, overwhelming majority poorly educated, low skilled and donât speak English. Some will also have health issues, disabilities, and criminal records. We donât need need a president whoâs more than happy to invite all the worldâs poverty and problems into the country, we already have enough donât you think?
Both of my Grandparents were poor and didnât speak English when they arrived in the US. And they did pretty well for themselves. The âopen borderâ talking point isnât true. And our immigration laws are still some of the toughest in the world. Look up the statistics on how many get their day in court and how many are refused and returned. It hasnât changed much over the last three decades. And our real immigration problem remains that over 40% of illegals do not cross the southern border. They come here and overstay their Visas. And while every administration tries their best to combat this, the real problem is that Congress will not put up the funds to staff those departments that address this problem. And immigration is still the âhot potatoâ that Congress will not come to grips with.
Whatâs the probability that someone, specifically with a family, whoâs impoverished, poorly educated, with no marketable skills and doesnât speak English is going to be successful in a modern industrialized economy? This is 2022 not 1920.
Good. I will admit that I have not looked at the numbers for some time. If you have a link to recent numbers it would be appreciated. I would sure like to see that percentage go way down. From what I have read I.C.E. seems to be horribly understaffed and not well managed. I was not happy with all the talk about breaking it down and rebuilding it with there being very little conversation about how it would be rebuilt.
It is difficult for any POTUS to enact anything that will stem the flow of migration to our borders. Biden did put Harris in charge of a program to see how we might assist the internal dealings of Central and South America countries where folks are fleeing from because of their policies. But that is not guaranteed to provide either a quick fix or long term solution. In many cases the governmentâs of those countries are not going to crack down on the violence that is the majority cause of folks leaving.
The percentage of visa overstays is much more a function of whatâs going on at the Southern border. I would assume that the number of people offered visas is a fixed number each year and completely controlled. In other words when Trump virtually shut down illegal immigration at the Southern border the percentage of people here illegally who overstayed their visas went up.
