    Migrants who surrender at the border and request asylum are not illegals and I believe all of the Venezuelans fall into that category. Over 1.5 million illegals were apprehended along the Southern border in 2021. If they're apprehended the borders aren't open. Although you will continue to do so, inflation is a worldwide phenomenon very little is attributable to Biden's policies and as I pointed out many times before this is root cause of the increase the price of gas at the pump which is actually now way off its June peak (anecdotally it's well over a dollar a gallon less).

    Yes, the price of food has gone through the roof. The increase in the price of eggs is largely attributable to an avian flu epidemic in last spring. Drought is a major factor in the rise of other food products but I guess that's Biden's fault, too.

    They are not “illegal.” They showed up at rue border and asked for asylum from a communist dictatorship. They are legal. Calling the “illegal” os a pejorative that has been addressed in three threads now. Your insult filled post started out with a falsehood and reflects your lack of understanding of immigration law. Your posting quite clearly reflects your disdain for immigrants. The national government flies detained immigrants to different places in the country. Btw: how rich is it to attack flying immigrants around the country and to defend what DeSantis just did. As for helping immigrants, I am all for the country and state doing so and am happy to have my tax dollars spent on it. Especially immigrants fleeing form the Maduro regime.

    By the way if employers like this guy didn't employ undocumented immigrants they wouldn't be coming across the border for economic reasons.

    That being said it should actually be easier for migrants to obtain temporary legal status and work permits considering the general labor shortage as well as the shortage of workers for specific occupations in this country.

    As for Biden being a dolt and taking care of Americans first, the US economy is in far better shape than the rest of the world despite the pressures created by world wide shortages caused by the pandemic, war in Ukraine, weather problems and drought. That has a lot to do with the pandemic relief. He has gotten almost his entire agenda passed in a year and a half. Infrastructure will take time to improve because it is not a short term process. For a don’t, he has been very effective. And he beat Trump, ridding America of a wannabe Maduro. Or maybe Putin? But, this is really off topic.

    The better comparison for your point is/was the treatment of Cubans vs that of Haitians.

    Of the just short of 2 million asylum seekers in the US, 296,617 are in Texas. That is a little over 15% of all immigrant cases.

    Just stop twisting it. You, your president, your administration are overwhelming towns, cities, states without their permission. Stop pretending YOUR president and his administration is not at fault. He owns it, you own it.

    Be quiet. They are showing up because you, your president, and his administration are funding it.

    No, some of them end by determining that somebody is legally allowed to be here and others end up with a person in custody or sent back across the border. Your point?

    How exactly are they doing that (this should be good!)? I really am interested in how Duchen is funding immigrants.

    Good call, Donald Trump's fault. Feel better? So youre answer is to bring in millions of illegals with no specific skills subsidize them in a way we cannot afford and that we do not afford for Americans. You voted for this shit show and you owe an apology.... well, much more than an apology. Here's your chance.

    LOL!

    Your open border support is why we are in this mess.

    Hopefully we can fix it. But we are two and a half years away at least for that it appears right now.

    No, I wish we had open borders (this country had open borders until 1924, and it was to the dramatic benefit of the US). Instead, we spend billions more every few years on the border. Your love of big government is the problem here. But notice how you avoided the claims that I made here. It is because you don't have an actual thing to say on topic. So, to sum it up, you made up some numbers, said you would love to be proven wrong, were proven wrong, and are now pouting.

    If not one of the dumbest things ever mumbled, easily the oddest. Your god dimmed president is making deals with Maduro because he's destroyed our capacity to produce. Do you think before you speak? Your president is financing the dictator and Putin's war against ukraine. But don't forget to put a "we stand with ukraine" sign in your yard.

    I also imagine you've forgotten how the coward snuck out of Afghanistan in the middle of the night, gave the mineral wealth of that nation to China, and left $80 billion in weapons for the murderous, women hating heroin smugglers.

    Nice work. Yeah, you and he are America heroes. Nice agenda.

    Of course not, but a significant percentage fall into that category.
