It doesn't matter whether they call themselves Democrat, Republican, independent or whatever.
How does a wall stop the immigrants requesting asylum?

So to all of you who voted for Biden and the new woke democrats, who did not even hide their intention to open borders during the sham 2020 basement campaign, I ask how much is enough? Give me an upper limit to the number of illegal aliens the United States can absorb without a collapse of public services and social order? Do you think we've passed that upper limit given the existing illegal immigrant population + legal immigration rates?

And please no comparisons to the Ellis Island days. That was a controlled entry of people when the nation desperately needed labor and had a frontier to settle. I'm talking about uncontrolled open borders of the 21st century.
America can never have enough illegals! Just ask Joe, Kamala, and Nancy! Just think how many American CITIZENS they will produce!! And how many jobs they will take from Hispanics and Latinos already here!

It doesn't matter whether it was replacement walls or not as they were well needed. Splitting hairs are we now? He didn't steal any money. If defense funds aren't for also defending our own border then I don't know what is.

The Dems don't want "virtual" open borders then why won't they finish the wall? Why are they constantly promising amnesty, healthcare and other goodies for illegal aliens? They won't even sign an e-verify law to stop the employers from hiring them. Why are they for sanctuary cities? Why were they crying "racial profiling" when a LE officer had reason to suspect they were in our country illegally? The list goes on and on how they want "virtual" open borders.

It doesn't, duh. It deters 90% of illegals from sneaking in illegally and undetected.

So you aren't anti-illegals ?

It’s never enough.

Just so long as you don’t put them in the rich liberal utopias of America.

The entire system is flawed.

I believe that Canada also protects it's border better but they don't have a border with Mexico so that makes it easier for them.

Beat me to it.

Trump cut legal migration by 50%. Unfortunately that increases asylum and illegal entries. It’s not going to stop.
