They have NO policy or policies they have proposed or passed (Republicans control the House). NONE.
When Trump was elected, they proposed NO legislation.
.
Instead, they constantly scream that the border is OPEN whenever a Democrat is president, and claim it’s all under control when a Republican is president. (It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It). They do not pass, or even propose legislation. The ONLY solution they believe in, is The Wall, that they believe Mexico will pay for.
It is again, government by bumper sticker.
.
What they DO, is to hire illegals at all levels of business, AND invoke massive amounts of H-1B visas, and other H-1 visas to import ‘legals’ who nobody tracks.
Their analysis consists solely of tracking crimes committed by illegals and screaming that none of that would have happened without the porous border.
.
Like everything else, immigration is just another ‘issue’ for Republicans to weaponize and LIE about.
It is okay for liberals to force their ideology on others but when THEY have to eat their own sht suddenly they have objections? This is why I so despise liberals, always running around demanding OTHERS comply with their dictates. It no wonder they are so quick to follow people like Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Castro and other socialists (some of whom claim to be communist).
I don’t have to see a Single lib comment. All the debate candidates raised their hand swearing to Open the borders & now a lot have Woke & realized it was a grave mistake. But as usual None will own it! Juust a Bunch of cowards hiding behind their Failed policies, while giving the Blame finger at the other side. Ask mayor adams.
The USA lets IN 1.5 million immigrants LEGALLY every year. Trump’s policies such as: " REMAIN in Mexico while your ‘asylum’ claim is processed" and “Mexico, you will provide 28,000 troops at the border, OR you will have a 25% tariff on ALL goods you export to the USA,” WORKED! His: “We’ll build a beautiful wall to make ALL immigration legal,” DIDN’T happen since Speaker Paul Ryan was an open borders RINO! Stupid voters put Nancy Pelosi in the Speaker chair and she ensured that money would NOT be spent on the wall even when it WAS appropriated! Wimpy Republican Speakers such as McCarthy and Johnson HAVEN’T used ‘the power of the purse’ to force Biden to reinstate Trump’s policies [which Biden executive ordered out of existence on his first day in office!] THAT is why Trump and a Republican house [AND a Speaker WITH a spine like Gingrich] and a Republican Senate AND a Majority Leader WITH a spine [NOT ‘Mitch’!] ARE needed! When the wall IS completed, we will find out if Democrats: “The wall won’t help” is as idiotic as it sounds!
We are a relatively open nation toward immigrants. But, huddled masses longing to breathe free, maybe not. Except for a few Englishmen who were sent to the colonies as punishment for their crimes and the black slaves we forced here, we’ve been very selective about just who was allowed to be a citizen here. Most immigrants had to have some income high enough to book passage on transportation to get here. That continues to be the case with immigrants from central and south America. And those who seek asylum do long to breathe free. But, these folks are hard working, intelligent people, There must be a way for them to become US Citizens.
But, any immigration policy has to get around the anger of the GQP party who seem bent on keeping folks out because of a fear of losing power. And power is what feeds the GQP. For them, what’s good for the nation is irrelevant. Only the Dem party sees a future for the nation populated by more immigrants, since we are a nation of immigrants. So, for the future of the nation, the only answer to the immigration problem, is the defeat of all leaders GQP and the election of an all Dem leadership, Congress and Presidency. Then, and only then, can a consistency be found to rewrite immigration law.
I consider myself somewhat liberal but, whereas the latino immigrants (from south of the US and Philippine, speaking English, Spanish and Tagalog to varying degrees, at least to Canada) have been good and decent workers. But I draw the line at Arabs who want to turn the accepting countries into the Sharia states they escaped from.

Once again:
Republicans want to CLOSE THE BORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Except they don’t.
.
They have NO policy or policies they have proposed or passed (Republicans control the House). NONE.
When Trump was elected, they proposed NO legislation.

When even the most liberal folks are getting sick of what Biden has done, you know he’s in big trouble for Nov.

The GOP WANTS immigration chaos, and will pass no legislation to address it. That’s what the record shows.
They want easy to forge documents so companies can hire cheap labor for jobs Americans don’t want with plausible deniability.
They want boogiemen to point to as vermin who poison American blood.
