    We strive to exemplify class, strong character, and a standard of excellence at all times. Migrants don’t. Let the lefties deal with it.

    "We cannot allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning at any hour of day and night,” Adams said. “This not only prevents us from providing assistance in an orderly way, it puts those who have already suffered so much in danger.”

    Guys, I don’t think he gets it yet.

      No he probably does. Yall just can’t seem to understand that immigration should be allowed, but spread out.

      Yall just straight up don’t want immigrants at all.

        Who said they “don’t want immigrants at all”? I haven’t seen that argument made anywhere.

            From your source

            “illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”

            It doesn’t require reading between the lines but it seems like Trump is against illegal immigration. You do know there is a difference between immigration and illegal immigration don’t you?

            Again who has said they “don’t want immigrants at all”?

          Nobody. Liberals just like to skree. Trump has asked for more legal immigration. He is against illegal immigration.

        We think it should be allowed, but 2.4 million illegals in 2023 alone is a bit much. And thats just the ones we know about. The US is 340 million people, more than likely more than 1% is here illegally.

        Source for figure: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/21/us/politics/cbp-record-border-crossings.html

        So yes, we agree. Probably just a matter of where to draw the line. Personally it should be strict, and the first instance of a crime, including illegally immigrating, should result in deportation.

          No one is illegal, they are undocumented seeking asylum that is provided by US law.

            Common myth. The way you’re supposed to seek asylum is to apply at a border checkpoint or at an embassy. And asking for asylum after you get caught illegally immigrating is a separate act from illegally immigrating.

              So you are supposed to do it in the first safe country. They are just illegals and not asylum seekers.

          If we need the labor, we need to make it easier for people to come here to work. Personally I’m not sold we need the labor. As long as we have people on welfare, we have surplus labor.

              My position is that the immigration system needs a gigantic overhaul to allow people to quickly, easily, and cheaply migrate and recieve asylum legally. The current system is the exact opposite in every way.

              Modern republican policy instead says “fuck it, fuck them, just deport them all”.

                It’s not just republicans. Obama deported more people than any other president before him.

                  Democrats are fuck ups on this issue too, don’t get me wrong. But by and large the majority of the fault on this issue can be attributed to republicans.

                  Immigration is one of our country’s core strengths. Don’t you remember that “melting pot” stuff from civics class?

                  Immigrants are a net positive for the economy, and for our country, so I don’t have a problem taking in as many that come. When immigrants come here, they bring their businesses with them and/or start new ones. And I like that.

      I get that Texas is cool with illegal immigration now. Hopefully they get processed quickly, given temporary visas, and shipped back to Texas where they will then be legal and ready to work.
