What immigration actually does to jobs, wages and more
Republican lawmakers want immigration changes in exchange for Ukraine aid. What does economic research say about current policy?
Read the nbc article. Couldn’t believe they told the truth.
“And when the ban ends, instead of being sent back across the border, more migrants will have the chance to stay in the U.S. and claim asylum. The extra money is needed to process, shelter and transport them.â€Â
The money requested wasn’t to secure the border it was to process more people into the country when they make fraudulent asylum claims.
Yes, let them in legally, but keep those entering illegally out.We need workers, let’s streamline the process for making them legally here instead of demonizing them.
100% true. My wife worked as a judicial assistant for 30 years. When she retired, they had to hire not one, not two, but THREE people to replace her. And you should hear some of the horror stories she has from growing up in 1950's Texas. She told me about when she was looking for a place to live so she and her new husband could start their lives. The first place she went to, she knocked on the super's door and a black woman answered. Before she could say ONE word, the door was slammed shut in my wife's face. I'm certainly not insensitive to what Latinos and Latinas are attempting to do. In fact, if I was a business owner, you wouldn't find a single person in my employ who isn't Hispanic or Asian. But we have to pump the brakes at some point. My wife certainly agrees.I worked in real estate (I’m retired), which kept me in touch with tradesmen and laborers and such.
my perspective…a good chunk of those upset about “illegals†are sensitive because the Hispanics bring with them a strong work ethic that many here have abandoned.
Looking at this map again and I can't help but ask myself: is it time to kick UK out of the SEC?Interesting.

Do you see the issue with your statistic? Not saying it’s incorrect, but the underlying problem with the situation.
New Data Show Migrants Were More Likely to Be Released by Trump Than Biden
According to new data published last month, the Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden.
In absolute terms, the Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did. These figures are important for understanding how each administration has carried out border enforcement.
During the Trump administration, DHS made 1.4 million arrestsâ€â€what it calls “encountersâ€Ââ€â€in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 (24 months). Of those people arrested, only 47 percent were removed as of December 31, 2021, which includes people arrested by Trump and removed by Biden, and 52 percent were released into the United States.
Under Biden, DHS made over 5 million arrests in its first 26.3 months, and it removed nearly 2.6 millionâ€â€51 percentâ€â€while releasing only 49 percent. In other words, the Trump DHS removed a minority of those arrested while the Biden DHS removed a majority. Biden managed to increase the removal share while also increasing the total removals by a factor of 3.5.

We all know how left wing the CATO institute is.
Some seem to think because the GOP refuses to cooperate in any fashion to address the border it’s all Biden’s fault.
Dealing with the pro Putinwing of theGOP has been difficult, there seems to be no crisis that will shift their concern to actually trying to make things better for Americans.
Undocumented immigrants are paying their taxes today, too
It’s a surprising fact that’s often overlooked in the immigration debate.
Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in federal taxes annually, between tax returns filed and taxes deducted from paychecks, experts estimate.
Here’s a look at why – and how – this is happening.
Was remain in Mexico legal?Just a little reminder - when a migrant arrives and claims asylum, their claim must be adjudged by an immigration judge. It cannot legally be summarily dismissed, under present law. The Biden administration has asked Congress for both more judges and more Border Patrol. We all know where that stands. As an attorney, I'm appalled by the cries for do something, even if it's illegal. BTW, 83% of immigrants show up for their hearings. The "catch and release" slogan is basically BS...
Seems like a system perfectly set up for abuse.Just a little reminder - when a migrant arrives and claims asylum, their claim must be adjudged by an immigration judge.

Oh Brad, did you read my explanation of the law? Until there's a determination by an administrative judge, you don't know who's legal and who's illegal. And remember, 83% of them attend those hearings. The clownish antics of Abbot and DeSantis have probably lowered that, by relocating them elsewhere at great distances from where their hearings were to take place...And you are the proper judge of whose asylum claim is not fraudulent?
Because you know all the facts of each case?
And have training and experience that correlates with the job?
Sure.
That's why Congress needs to change the laws!!Seems like a system perfectly set up for abuse.
Why do you think the increase is so stark? Also do you think the got aways are increasing at the same level because I do?Not "my" statistic, but If you mean the total number...
then so what?
Can the president stop people before they get here or does he have to deal with them once they are here?
Or did you have something else in mind?
And does that negate the fact the even with higher numbers Biden admin is deporting a higher %?
