Anyone want to provide a rebuttal to her tweets? @thechatch claims he wants to hear all arguments.
A rebuttle to her inchohency and whining? I'm curious how many millions more will be good for you? What should our population be 500,000,000 or a billion? In my opinion, the solution is not opening our borders to whoever wants to come in. If the United States is so racist and horrible, why are our own downtrodden not looking for a better life somewhere else on the planet? Why do billions of minorities all want to live here? Governments are corrupt all over the planet and ours is devolving every day. The only solution is to support the constitution and demand legitimate elections but that's the last thing the left wants.
I agree with you. We simply can't allow these influxes of illegal immigrants and it's a matter of basic sovereignty. I also don't know what the "optimal" number is. We're at about 10m illegal immigrants right now, which is actually a decrease of nearly 2m of the last decade. Is 10m still too high? Does that number create a material detriment to our country? I haven't seen anything convincing that demonstrates that impact one way or another.
But step 1 for me has always been to agree on a number, and then do everything we can to enforce that number. Ideally that can be accomplished with stricter border enforcement (yes that includes a bigger wall) which would necessitate fewer deportations (I'm generally not a fan of breaking up otherwise law-abiding families who are already here if it can be avoided). Then you have the question of how do you enforce the influx when they do cross the border. And the unaccompanied children debacle is a doozy. At a certain level Trump's no-nonsense stance was an effective deterrent, and a hell of a lot better than the incoherent policy that Biden is deploying. But I'm still a bleeding heart classical liberal and I don't like kids in cages. Or at least not our cages. Make Mexico build the damn facilities and house them there. I don't know. But it's a clusterfuck no matter how you slice it, and as long as our Central American friends remain mired in corruption and incompetence the supply issue is going to continue to be a problem.
