Trump cut legal migration by 50%. Unfortunately that increases asylum and illegal entries. It’s not going to stop.
Not with the border being open it won’t, and even during a pandemic was great stuff. Gotta get those votes in. At least they won’t be getting shipped to Florida now, and Sleepy Joe shipping them to NY.
Sorry, Canada has higher standards. Like most countries they actually vet you and make sure you can contribute something. Unlike usa who gives you phones, cash, food, attorneys, shelter, and for alot of them a monthly.
The lunatics running the asylum have opened the border to anyone and everyone who wants come in. The 3 million a year figure often quoted for 2021 is just the *known* apprehensions, so easily double or triple that number. 2022 looks to break that record so assume at least 10 million illegals will come in by years end. That is an utterly insane (and frightening) number to most normal people who just want to live in a peaceful and safe country of laws and order.
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.
The whole purpose of the Democrat's open border is to pack those red states until they turn blue. Notice where Pensil Neck Biden has those flights in the middle of the night flown to, all red states.They care nothing about the people they are just pawns to stay in power, its so obvious. The woke crowd is the useful idiots Lenin talked about. They also have to allow illegals to vote, oh wait a minute.. Don't they have a current bill to Federalize voting and take it away from the states? How convenient.

Give all the sanctuary cities all we can. Feel the pain fools. We that live on the border have had enough of this insanity. Welcome to our world.
The OP does actually have a very good question that is always ignored. How many immigrants is the right amount? How is that determined? Conservatives always say there are too many, but how do you know? How do you determine how many we should allow in? How do we know if we should double the amount let in or half it?
Trust me, we have enough. I had a hard time finding a job because I don't speak Spanish.
I talked to an open border proponent at a birthday party last year. She was pretty adamant in her beliefs, but wasn't worth a damn in a friendly debate. I pressed her on whether should we just let anyone who bought a plane ticket or crosses the border to live/work here, and she just dodged the question and responded with "I believe in compassion." I asked her whether we should maintain a visa/immigration system, and her response was... "I believe in compassion." I decided she wasn't worth my time and went on circulating through the party. You'll never get a clear answer from any of these folks. All they know is how to obfuscate the issue, deflect, and ignore.

I live in LA and i see liberals like that all day every day
"I believe in compassion"
and then they go run back to their gated HOA enclosed behind a wall/fence to keep the poor people out.
You don't have to be a judge to know that people seeking asylum need to apply at a port of entry and not just try to walk across the border which is why its illegal.
I'm an immigrant. Don't justify what line jumpers do. They are insulting to those of us who followed the rules to come to this country.
Have a look. Basically the same number of legal immigrants arrived in the US under Trump as under Obama and much more so than during the Clinton years back in the 90s
