There was a time when I was in favor of some streamlining of the legal immigration process. It seemed wildly unfair that it could take years and years to immigrate by the rules, especially when the applicant is working within the law and will bring something of value to the country – it will add to America’s greatness. Now, screw it. To hell with everyone trying to move here. Unless you’re coming with a small fortune and something truly extraordinary that will be a serious boost to the country and Americans, stay out. And everyone here illegally, get the hell out, we’re closed.
The Biden administration has decided to play red rover with the world and greased up hands – damn near no one is turned away, all they have to do is claim they’re seeking asylum, that they fear for their lives somehow, and they’re in. They’re in until some random future court date they’ll never show up for or so far down the road that if they actually show up to it, some liberal judge will declare it too cruel to deport someone whose kids were born here and know nothing else.
I don’t care anymore.
Whatever amount of concern I may have had was trampled by the millions invading from the south and the idiots in the Democratic Party who would like nothing more than the power for themselves importing illiterate third-world countries every couple of months brings them. Nope, they all have to go.
There needs to be mass deportation. I don’t care where in the world you come from; international law requires asylum seekers who fear for their lives to seek asylum in the first country they come to, where the threat to the life you are fleeing does not exist. No human being marching in from Mexico meets that criterion, except for Mexican citizens. Not one single person from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, South America, or anywhere has a legitimate asylum claim, nor do I any longer care about any other sad tale of woe they might be able to spin.

They’re coming here for a better economic life, which is not a legal or legitimate claim for asylum. Get them the hell out.
Our government, through left-wing ‘non-governmental agencies,” is providing this invading army with money, from a few bucks to a few thousand. I don’t know what the true amount is, nor do I care. One penny is too much. They’re here illegally; toss them out. We shouldn’t give them a damn thing – we should send them home immediately and send them a bill for the cost.
We won’t collect anything from those people, and I’m fine with that…as long as they never return.
The cost can be covered by fining the ever-loving hell out of any company found to be knowingly employing illegals or anyone found to be hiring them under the table to work around their houses (that would be fun for Hollywood). Make it so painful it shuts down some companies, so damaging that no one dares break the law lest they face harsh punishment.
Cut off the social services draining our already empty accounts. No one who actually adds value to society is marching across the border illegally – they’re more often unable to read, write, or speak English and illiterate in their native language. Their kids drag down an already near-worthless public school system, especially in urban areas. Aside from headcount, there is nothing of value added on this scale, and the speed with which Democrats have enabled this invasion assures there will be nothing of value coming in the future.
Assimilation is the only pathway to success for immigrants – learn the language, learn the culture, and become a part of it so you can function and contribute. That’s now frowned upon by Democrats to the point that they actively discourage it. They seek to trap legal immigrants in ethnic enclaves – little versions of the places they’d fled. The only difference with illegals is the scale is larger.
I get it, a lot of the rest of the world sucks. I don’t care anymore. Fix the dump you’re fleeing; make it better. Do not come here illegally and, ultimately, enable the political party actively seeking to implement the policies here that led to the failed economies you’re fleeing.
My sympathy, my caring, has run dry. Seeing what’s happening at the southern border just makes me angry. We need a wall, we need immediate deportation, we need a catapult to launch people into the Gulf of Mexico. We need illegals, en masse, to be sent back to where they fled, where they paid the drug cartels to bring them here so their friends and neighbors see those thousands of dollars were wasted; the cartels offer no refunds or do-overs.
It'll hurt, so what? They broke the law, and that has to come at a cost. Besides, no one ever said lessons had to be free.
Enough is enough; we need politicians with the figurative anatomy to spit the truth in the truest terms, to stand up and say no more, get out. Then maybe, just maybe, after we’ve gotten rid of the people who came here illegally and punished their accessories for violating our nation’s sovereignty, we can talk about updating the legal immigration system. But an immigration system isn’t broken when you, the people in charge of it, refuse to do anything about the enforcement aspect of it.
Open the hood of a new car and just start cutting wires and loosening bolts, and you’ll soon find it doesn’t work. The fan might, and the lights could. Depending on what you damaged, maybe it’ll even run a bit. Some things will still work. But the car won’t, at least not for long. That’s what Democrats (and some Republicans) have done with the immigration system. It’s not that it’s broken as much as it is they’ve broken it, and they can fix it by enforcing all of it. Until they do, shut it down. And keep it shut down until they do their jobs or are looking for new jobs because they’ve been tossed out of their current ones. I’m beyond caring about them and their fates, either. Shut it all down, throw them all out.
