I mean their policy so far has been almost no departure from Trump’s immigration policy, so…

A big difference being trump eventually made asylum seekers stay in Mexico. Biden allows them to stay here (which I’ll note I agree with).

The difference in that policy made the crossings explode, however. We have as many asylum seekers now, in a 5 week span, that we would see annually before.

You can’t safely accommodate the vast increase in numbers in one area (the boarder).

Your energy should be spent directed at our state officials to prepare and welcome migrants here. All states should do it, because that’s what’s going to eventually happen anyway.

That needs to be something done on a federal level though.

Unfortunately it isn’t being done, at least not well, at the federal level.

Not for lack of trying from our reps…

I’m sure (at least hope) our reps are trying.
