I havent heard of any Dems who would support enforcement of the state.gov requirements for S America. Not one. Much less Republicans.

Right, that's because our current guidelines are insane and terrible. Democrats and Republicans in the Senate worked together to improve them but then Republicans scuttled the bill.

You might be confusing asylum claimants with economic migration. Anyway the caps on all the legal immigration categories are way too low to begin with.

A million plus people in the US just died from COVID and that's causing major economic drag via the labor supply. Letting more people in is exactly what we should be doing right now.

Im not confusing anything. I clearly said it was referring to work visas. And as I previously said, I agree caps are too low. My complaint is many arent following the guidelines stated on my state.gov link above.

What about the state.gov requirements are terrible?

Caps on visas are far too low - onerous H2-A requirements that only applies to agriculture, etc.

I remember when the glass was considered half full. When America welcomed immigrants who were simply looking for a better life. Immigrants who simply wanted to live the American dream, just like the Pilgrims and the founding fathers.

Now, today, the knee jerk reaction is to hate and despise.
I wonder how THAT attitude ever happened?
I wonder how it was that immigrants who made themselves legal would now decide who is allowed in and who is not allowed in to their little American citizenry club?

Frankly, the American Indian should kick all of us the hell out of their country. And it is their country after all, or show me the deed granted and signed by any Indian.

Anti immigrant sentiment has always been present in American society.

If you come to NYC go visit the tenement museum and see how welcoming the great gateway of immigration was.

Was title 42 ever about public safety or a backdoor block immigrant policy?

Pandemic happening on the border but not on transportation the government regulates is certainly the logic of Trump judges.

The latter. Everybody screams about the numbers but the high numbers themselves are a consequence of the policy due to recidivism. Reverting to previous policy would actually be productive but the "crisis" profits conservatives politically. They want to make it worse not better.

Bu, but I thought that was how Trump was going to pay for the wall.
