Published 2024-07-02
But, decades-old immigration laws, a porous southern border, and increasingly daring cartels have caused humanitarian and illicit drug crises to grow.
The problems that the borderlands have known for years are now rippling through the United States, with cities forced to make difficult decisions as they look to the federal government for help.

As an old man I have seen and have known migrant families from Mexico and Russia from as early as the 60's when I was in grade school. In my observations over 50+ years I can say there is a big change in the attitude and spirit of the migrants today compared to the 60's, 70's, 80's....Back then I distinctly remember a couple families with kids my age, they were poor but extremely grateful to be here legally, so proud to be an American. All they did was work as much as possible, get the kids in USA school system. They did not want handouts, they just wanted work, schools for their kids and a local Church;-). They were grateful, lawful, hard working people who strived to learn English, to make a life and more importantly to CONTRIBUTE to USA society. Also all I knew had sponsors. Migrants I knew of when I was growing up were a completely different sort of person than many of the migrants here today, Surely there are still good hearted, lawful, honest people who want to assimilate, that want to contribute but I think most are people that are not contributing, not at all, like a huge anchor.

How are they so desperate yet they pay thousands of dollars to get here
-
It's only going to get worse unless we vote for something different
-
What I don't think migrants sleeping in the police stations is a good idea probably a national security risk
-
We have to start somewhere as Americans, Biden isn't going to do it, I'm voting for Trump!!!!
-
What about our own security assistance
-
Fleeing 1 problem and causing another!
-
We are on the fast track to whatever these foreign nationals are fleeing. Except the many who are fleeing consequences for their misdeeds.
-
Other countries are emptying out their prisons and mental institutes to our borders. Most are coming through New Mexico & CA through our NGO's working with the cartel.

-

-

-
Wow but we got vets on the streets
-

-
As much as those states don't like it now they know how we feel it's time to do something about this instead of talking about it awareness is already there We need change
-
I can't watch this.
-
This is caused by the corrupt government of latin America 😂
-
The man tried to ignore it and here we are
-
Send the military down there and shut it down its just that easy someone wants this
-
My concern is the vetting process can easily be passed by. Just one r8pist is one too many. People are saying 20 million have come in just 4 years. This is insane. Coming to a country and not speaking the language of the country you are entering. No job skills. This will not end good for anyone.
