With border security legislation unlikely in Congress, the White House wants to take action. Migrant crossings are expected to soar back to last year’s record levels.
jumping to conclusions like this will depress turnout. The system is absolutely broken and the federal government has to do something.
Ok, so the executive action is going to massively increase the amount of money and staff available to process migrants, provide transitional services and offer a path to citizenship? Or are they instead going to continue with this farce that brutalizing migrants somehow changes the reality of global poverty that fuels migration?
We have a massive and growing need for more working age people, but rather than embracing an obvious solution to a pressing problem, democrats are going to cave to xenophobic lies.
I would strongly prefer if the federal government stepped in with resources. The current hodge-podge system of letting Texas bus people (among other things) to cities lets the federal government ignore the problem more.
On a humanitarian level, I am disappointed in the Democrats on this and it’s disgusting that Republicans aren’t even trying to help. Wait a few months until they start campaigning on “city services are cut and your paycheck is lower because of the Dems and immigration!”
