It doesn't matter why they come here they have no right to violate our immigration laws and take from Americans what doesn't belong to them.

But, it does matter.

If you keep tripping a breaker, do you just keep resetting it or do you figure out why it keeps getting overloaded? Illegal immigration won’t stop if we don’t have an eye towards the push factors.

All the benefits and to escape prisons and cause terror to the American people. Biden pays them to vote democrat in future elections. How is this not obvious? Lol

Give it up, JCP. This isn't an intellectual discussion, because the posters here are just looking for something to turn their anger on, and Biden and migrants are currently in their sights. And name calling is so much easier than thinking about a situation or a solution.

Too bad, too, because this could have been a very good thread without the haters and name callers. We could have compared the current migrants to the people who tried to defect from Communist countries back before the Berlin wall fell. Desperate people do desperate things. If some of the posters here don't understand the desperation that drives people out of a dictator-type country, they should get down on their knees and be grateful they have it so easy instead of abusing the rights that allow them to live in a country where we still have elections.

Believe what you wish, but experience is something different.

In my own experience, the apartment complex we lived in was “invaded”. Suddenly, our cable TV was periodically disrupted as the lawless invaders sought “free cable” and broke off our connections in their clumsy attempt. They had no respect for other people or their property. They were packing 12 - 18 people into 2 bedroom apartments - which was illegal, as well. (The apartment managers didn't care - they were raking it in)
The parking lot was filled up with their pickup trucks, blocking other tenants. (there were only 2 parking spots per apartment) And they were noisy. It was so bad, we had to post a sign in Spanish, asking them to keep the noise down. (Roommates worked night shift and slept during the day).

"Better life!" But not for us. We eventually moved far far away.

*THIS*

If the reasons are not found and controlled, no matter what is done in this country - and yes, laws need to be fixed = better vetting etc. - it will never be controlled.

Believe what you will.

Biden* hasn't been president for the past few decades while illegals were sneaking into this country.

Not our problem why they invade us. The problem is our government not securing our border as it should be and not enforcing our immigration laws internally so that they don't. We can't be their saviors and if forced to do so they would stay in their own countries and fix them.
