    “the border” is a republican red herring, there’s basically nothing to fix, drugs and immigrants come other ways. Immigrants commit crimes at a rate much lower than citizens. It’s all republican lies that democrats are somehow fix.

      You take a moment to look at some unbiased vlogging on the US/Mexico border and tell me it was problem-free.

      Otherwise you can read about the hotels being turned into expensive migrant refuges, which I’ve seen reported about across the country. The government was paying for that, for non-citizens, during an ongoing homelessness crisis.

      Look at all the cheap slave-labor that vanished into thin air the moment Trump started deporting people.

      You guys absolutely had a problem with immigration. And not only did the democrats not offer any actual solution, the problem got worse under their watch. This is a prime example of democrats having useless identity politics where they address problems by brow-beating people and calling them racist, rather than doing anything for their citizens.

        Across the country != the border

        I didn’t say no problems with immigration. Please leave the goalpost where it was.

          Then explain your point better because you aren’t making sense.

          “there’s basically nothing to fix” => “I didn’t say no problems with immigration.”
