Question: Border crisis looming, what should be done?

I almost stayed there after grad law school. Now, I don't know what I was thinking...
It's sad watching our great cities like New York, Chicago, and San Fransisco be ruined by incompetent governance and failed political ideology on a local, state, and national level.
Is there any truth to the idea that “sanctuary cities†received federal funding for declaring themselves as such? That would explain a lot. I know they love their stupid virtue signaling, but damn.
I've never seen reports of them getting money for that, but never say never.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court, by a vote of 5-4, has cleared the way for federal agents to remove the razor wire fencing along the Texas-Mexico border which Biden administration officials and immigration advocates had called dangerous and inhumane. https://trib.al/VdhclCy

" In 2021, the Department of Justice gave out approximately $300 million to sanctuary jurisdictions under three funding programs  the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG), and the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program. The awards to sanctuaries represented more than 40 percent of the available funding under these programs. Sanctuary jurisdictions are receiving this funding despite having adopted policies to hinder cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities. As a result, the federal government is subsidizing agencies that may be violating federal law and undermining public safety." (CIS.org)...
Did you see the post I made in the "Documentaries" thread with the Brooklyn segment? I think it was done 4 years ago, so not that long ago. I thought it looked like a great place to visit.
I'm sure things were different (better) back when you graduated than they are now though, too.
This is exactly why I don't understand why they aren't bussing them to D.C. instead of NY and Chicago.
They were much better. Washington Square Park was idyllic. When I returned a few years later, it was boarded up. The hippies and the drug scene had ruined it - public defecation all over the place, etc...
Washington Square Park was refurbished several years ago. The pictures I've seen are nice. I think they hire off-duty LEOs for security.
I was curious and googled homeless population by city and came up with this. Houston on a total and especially a per capita is pretty low. Chicago on per capita is faily low. Some of the cities don't even count un-sheltered homeless.
it's still way too many, but this was nice to see for atlanta. it was trending downward prior to covid as well.

They actually did that quite a while back, may have repeated it. It's been quite a while since I've been there, other than just "passing through." My BIL, who lived in Bergen County, NJ, just across the Washington bridge died young, 63, the same as his dad. He had just run the NYC Marathon two weeks before. His widow lives in FL part-time and in NOVA, near her daughter, part-time, so no family reasons to visit...

In exchange for a promise to control its borders, Mexico has called on the U.S. to approve a plan that would deploy $20 billion in aid to help Latin American and Caribbean countries escape poverty. So AMLO is urging Biden to squeeze American taxpayers for money for countries that will inevitably use those dollars to feed the very corruption they are supposed to combat.
Mexico also called for the U.S. to suspend U.S. sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela, and to grant more than 10 million Hispanic illegal immigrants living in the U.S. the right to remain and work legally.
Biden may try to grant AMLO his demands, even while ignoring the requirement that Congress approve the requests.
Sounds like extortion to me......... 🤷â€Â♂ï¸Â
Biden is begging for Mexico’s help with the border (and his reelection)
Biden is now pleading with Mexico to stop the flow of illegal crossings into the U.S., as he continues to repeatedly sue Texas for…trying to stop the flow of illegal crossings into the U.S.

Melissa Ford is the policy director for the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Secure and Sovereign Frontier campaign, which strives to keep our nation safe and free.
20 billion isn’t going to fix the corrupt governments of those regions and Biden can’t do any of that without Congressional action.Op-Ed:

Yep - Basically, an anti-immigration group.
And I am terribly surprised that she offers no evidence for most of her claims and none for the more spurious claims.
Her language is also non-biased and non-inflammatory.
Note that I prefaced my post with the term "Op-Ed".
That means Opinion Editorial.
The key word being "Opinion".
Go back to posts #142 and #143 in this thread if you want to see:
"no evidence for most of her claims and none for the more spurious claims."
and
"language is also non-biased and non-inflammatory"
when the word "Latinos" was inserted by *someone* with this banner atop their X page......
