US Immigration Crisis
I didn’t see an immigration thread so I figured I would add one. This problem seems to be worsening everyday of the current admin. Hopefully some of our new elected officials can help with this. Mr. Luttrell is a great start

After taking an insane L with his previous investigation,
James Comer has decided to go after Kamala Harris and the border.
Let's investigate why the bill was killed!
I was watching CNBC or MSN yesterday and they were talking about illegal immigrants committing crimes. The excuse was only a small % of them do or a smaller % than Americans which is disputed .
I wonder how they would feel if when it comes to a women dying because the doctor is scared of the state abortion laws . Yeah some die but its such a small %

Some people will accept a tiny risk because they love freedom, others because they hate it.
This is what someones doing to wake people up to their policies. Ingenious, this is what people who support this regime are supporting. Rental prices will keep going up and housing inventory will keep decreasing.
That's the corollary of one party pushing for citizenship for illegals (IE for people who criminally entered the country or overstayed their allowed time disregarding the democratic rules of the country) and the other withholding it.
The alternative to citizenship path is to kick them away for good,
I did hear a solution to the problem is just to make America shitty enough that people won't want to come here. That America is so great, better than where they're coming from, is going to always incentivize people to immigrate here no matter the other incentives.
Trump’s mass deportation vow has some in the farm and construction industries spooked
Nearly half of the nation’s approximately 2 million farm workers
lack legal status, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.
deportation plans are impractical and would stymie the building of
schools and homes, along with highways and other crucial infrastructure
If Trump and the GOP didn’t fix the “immigration problem” the first time around when they controlled both houses of Congress, what (other than abject stupidity) makes anyone think they’re going to fix it now?
Change..... not fix.
Average hotel price in NYC in September $417 per night. Yes, $417
In the 26th paragraph of the article they casually mention....
"The number of available hotel rooms has declined following an influx of migrants, who have been placed in struggling hotels. Over the summer, about 11 percent of the 136,000 hotel rooms in the city were set aside for migrants."
I've got some illegal immigrant Brazilian friends who have been here since like 2017 on a 6 month tourist visa and never left-- they're a couple and she's always posting the dopiest romantic pictures of the two of them in Central Park or Las Vegas or most recently at Disney World and of course this is Instagram curated but it seems like they're living their best life.
Pisses me off.

Yet they try to claim deporting them would be inflationary. And they are supposed to be the party of the smart people with PhDs.

This overlooks the fact that our immigration policy is designed to encourage illegal immigration.
Illegals have no rights and are afraid to go to authorities. Those in power think this is a great situation for obvious reasons. Things like downward pressure on legal wages are a nice bonus.
I saw someone say this could be solved overnight with some smart system. I'm not sure if that's true. But seems truthy. I can verify my car insurance for a cop on my phone instantly.
However, I'm pretty confident that, instead of trying to physically catch a million people sneaking across a 2,000 mile line, they could just write laws that make it -ev to hire illegal immigrants. Obama mentioned it once.
They want them here, and they want them here illegally.
A reformed system would be like background/health check->legal guest worker with rights->citizen.
It seems inefficient and disruptive to make those already here, paying rent, with jobs, etc. To leave before applying. But this is all hypothetical as those in power like the existing system that they designed and blaming immigrants for it.

Seems about right. No way the GOP will fix things, in spite of their election promises. Having someone brown to vilify is on page 1 of their fear-mongerers playbook.

So what are all those democrats worried about, if Trump won't do anything about illegal immigration? Are they all lying?

Harboring illegals (or doing anything that helps then avoid detection by authorities and so on) is already a federal crime.

There is already a mandate to verify the person is allowed to work in the USA when you hire someone.
Since 1986

It's only about enforcement of what federal law *already is*, so it's only about the DOJ.
Yes. The laws need to be enforced, but also the penalties need to be sufficient so that hiring them is a terrible business decision.
It can't be so you save $1 million on labor and pay a 50k fine sometimes and sometimes get away with it.

Charge everyone having illegal employees with the whole book (harboring of illegals) at 10 years per count , everytime, then see what happens.

Ask a Democrat, not me.
I expected Trump to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. He said thatÂ’s what he was going to do, and Trump is not a liar. Ergo, he did it. Right?
(Before you say something extra stupid, I fully support keeping any non-citizen out of the US.)
YouÂ’re on ignore now given that you constantly speak authoritatively about US government policy yet DIDNÂ’T EVEN KNOW KIDS IN THE US CAN BRING FOOD TO SCHOOL AND EAT IT. LEGALLY.
YouÂ’re totally clueless. Go outside. Talk to a girl.

Do you expect Trump to give TPS to the same amount of illegals Biden gave it to, more, or less?
Do you expect Trump to deport a higher percentage of illegals encountered, same, or less than Biden?
If you expect no change vs Biden would you agree to say you were wrong and Trump is better than Biden on this topic if more illegals are deported?

I was in Aruba a couple weeks ago and saw some Instagram sausage being made a few yards in front of me.
Two dudes that had South American vibes were with a girl that I would've guessed was Russian, and had some what appeared to be stylized Cyrillic script tattooed all down her back, but was definitely speaking something that must've been Spanish or Portugese with the guy operating the camera.
She'd just walk a few feet into the water and do the slow-walk out. Then she'd walk a few dozen steps up the beach, turn around and do a slow walk toward the camera while taking off her mirrored sunglasses. One guy would crouch with the camera and take the shots from about 40 feet away, and she'd turn around and do it again. The second guy camped next to the equipment bags was extremely clean cut and looked like an extra right out of a cartel-focused true crime show. He sat talking on his cell phone and smoking cigarettes just about the whole time. They were there for about an hour, but as far as I can tell, only did those two types of shots, and just repeated it a ton of times. Toward the end, they packed up the camera gear, put it behind the palm tree they were under, pointed at me and I gave him a thumbs up like sure I'll watch your ****, and all three of them went in the water for about 5 minutes.
I was just listening to my audiobook and watching this all go down. I couldn't quite figure out the physics that allowed her swimsuit to stay attached to her body, but I'm not up on the latest material science breakthroughs. She definitely looked malnourished.
They didn't appear to be having a particularly good time, and cell phone guy definitely seemed kinda cranky. But they were in Aruba at 2pm on a Wednesday, so it can't be all bad.
Bottom line: The internet is rarely what it seems.
