at the current rate of immigration. We are heading into the summer months with news that Title 42 is no longer in effect. Let's see how long America's resolve to deport people holds.
Negative. Until congress gives biden enough money to hire agents and build shelter we need to continue deporting everyone that doesn't apply legally. We are a system of rules and laws. We can't have a jungle at the border
Maybe you're not aware but they are deporting using title 8 authority. The offical DHS policy states if you do not have clearance to cross you will be deported and fined. There's no exceptions except for political retribution. Just because title 42 is gone doesn't mean the new rule isn't harsher.
The issue is disinformation and lies are spread more than facts. Why can't you debate actual policy? OFFICAL DHS policy mandates DHS deport anyone who hasn't gotten permission to cross. You can hate Biden all you want which is your right but just live in reality. Quit spreading lies and disinformation.
Why don't you post truth about immigration policies ? You seem to be a educated person so why not debate facts and not conspiracies?
okay, truth: Kamala Harris has been the immigration czar for two+ years. Biden taps VP Harris to lead response to border challenges By JONATHAN LEMIRE, NOMAAN MERCHANT, LISA MASCARO and AAMER MADHANI March 24, 2021 https://apnews.com/article/kamala-h...se-joe-biden-3400f56255e000547d1ca3ce1aa6b8e9 excerpt: “When she speaks, she speaks for me,” Biden said, noting her past work as California’s attorney general makes her specially equipped to lead the administration’s response. more
Some Republicans REALLY REALLY want to turn this into a national emergency and disaster. If you believed some - this is Rome falling to the barbarians. Millions of filthy, sick, poor - mentally and morally deficient semi-humans are at the gate, and soon will come barging in and raping our white women and stealing our daughters and the Western world will collapse for 1,000 years. I'm picturing Tucker Carlson at the border in his Eddie Bauer flannel shirt and tan pants trying to hold back a horde or Venezuelan barbarians - only to be stabbed by a shive made out of crystal meth glass.
President Trump Reduced Legal Immigration. He Did Not Reduce Illegal Immigration President Trump entered the White House with the goal of reducing legal immigration by 63 percent. Trump was wildly successful in reducing legal immigration. By November 2020, the Trump administration reduced the number of green cards issued to people abroad by at least 418,453 and the number of non‐immigrant visas by at least 11,178,668 during his first term through November 2020. President Trump also entered the White House with the goal of eliminating illegal immigration but Trump oversaw a virtual collapse in interior immigration enforcement and the stabilization of the illegal immigrant population. Thus, Trump succeeded in reduce legal immigration and failed to eliminate illegal immigration. Figure 1 shows the monthly number of green cards issued to immigrants outside of the United States. In most years, about half of all green cards are issued to immigrants who already reside in the United States on another visa. Thus, the number of green cards issued to immigrants abroad is a better metric of the annual inflow of lawful permanent residents than the total number issued. Trump cut the average number of monthly green cards issued by 18.2 percent relative to Obama’s second term, but that average monthly decline hides the virtual end of legal immigration from April 2020 onward. In response to the recession and the COVID-19 outbreak, President Trump virtually ended the issuance of green cards to people abroad. In the last 6 months of the 2020 fiscal year (April‐September 2020) the U.S. government only issued about 29,000 green cards. In the same period in 2016, the U.S. government issued approximately 309,000 green cards. Compared to the last half of FY2016, the number of green cards issued in the last half of FY2020 fell by 90.5 percent (please see note at the end of this blog post for how I estimated these figures). Before the COVID-19 pandemic during the period from January 2017‐February 2020, the average number of green cards issued per month was only down about 0.5 percent under Trump compared to from January 2013‐February 2016 under the Obama administration with cumulative numbers down just over 3.2 percent. Beginning in mid‐to‐late March, the Trump administration virtually halted the issuance of green cards to people abroad. Without the COVID-19 immigration restrictions unilaterally imposed by the President, the issuance of green cards to foreigners abroad would have barely declined relative to the second term of the Obama administration. Figure 2 shows the monthly number of non‐immigrant visas (NIVs) issued abroad. NIVs include tourist visas, work visas, student visas, and others that do not allow the migrant to naturalize. Trump cut the monthly average number of NIVs by about 27 percent relative to Obama’s second term, but that decline obscures the virtual end of NIVs from April 2020 onward. As with immigrant visas, President Trump virtually ended NIV issuance in response to the recession and the COVID-19 outbreak. In the last 6 months of the 2020 fiscal year (April‐September 2020) the U.S. government only issued 397,596 NIVs. In the same period in 2016, the U.S. government issued more than 5.6 million NIVs. Compared to the last half of FY2016, the number NIVs issued in the last half of FY2020 fell by almost 93 percent (please see note at the end of this blog post for how I estimated these figures). Before the COVID-19 pandemic, during the period from January 2017‐February 2020, the average number of monthly NIVs issued was down about 12 percent under Trump compared to the January 2013‐February 2016 period under the Obama administration and the cumulative numbers were down by just over 14 percent. Beginning in mid‐to‐late March, the Trump administration virtually halted the issuance of NIVs to people abroad. The COVID‐19‐related restrictions were the most severe and impactful part of Trump’s immigration policy. Looking at the decline in the number of visas issued abroad under Trump through November 2020 compared to the second term of the Obama administration, Trump reduced the number of green cards issued by approximately 418,453 green cards and the number of NIVs issued by about 11,178,668. That’s a roughly 18 percent decline in the number of green cards issued abroad and approximately a 28 percent decline in the number of NIVs issued during Trump’s only term relative to Obama’s second term. Although Trump succeeded in cutting legal immigration more than he initially planned, he oversaw the collapse of interior immigration enforcement. In 2020, the removal of illegal immigrants from the interior of the United States was the lowest as an absolute number and as a share of the illegal immigration population since ICE was created in 2003 (Figure 3). Trump failed to increase removals because local jurisdictions refused to cooperate with his administration, continuing a trend begun during the Obama administration in response to their deportation efforts. As a result, the population of illegal immigrants remained about the same as when he took office (Figure 4). Figures 1 and 2 are based on Department of State monthly visa issuance statistics. However, the numbers are estimates prior to March 2017 for immigrant visas and NIVs using the seasonal variations in the known years plus random variation added to make it look natural. I then checked the monthly results against he known annual totals and they are within 1 percent, so good enough or a visualization. This blog post is an expansion on work by my colleague David Bier where I add more monthly data. https://www.cato.org/blog/president...gration-he-did-not-reduce-illegal-immigration
Wrong, that kind of thinking will kill the USA as a power, we don't have enough workers to do the jobs we have available now. We are in a negative growth pattern, I know that may be too cerebral for most folks here.....but it is true, we either need more babies, or more immigrants.....or we start declining as an economy in less than 10 years.

factual reporting--which is to say, TRUTHful reporting--from The NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/05/11/us/title-42-immigration Officials Seek to Avert Border Chaos as U.S. Ends Covid Policy: Live Updates Border crossings have increased as people attempt to enter the United States ahead of the lifting of Title 42, which allowed agents to swiftly remove migrants on public health grounds. Updated May 11, 2023, 2:04 p.m. ET7 minutes ago Border holding facilities are already over capacity. Here’s what to know. All along the nearly 2,000-mile border with Mexico, U.S. border agents, soldiers and local officials were striving to maintain order on Thursday as migrants waded across the Rio Grande, lined up at international bridges, filled federal immigration processing centers and huddled on the sidewalks of American border towns. The tension was prompted by the imminent lifting of a Covid-era policy, known as Title 42, that for more than three years has allowed the government to swiftly expel many people who crossed the border before they could apply for asylum. The order was set to expire along with the national Covid health emergency at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. But pressure at the border has already been building in the days leading up to the end of Title 42, which has been used to turn back hundreds of thousands of people seeking to enter the United States since 2020. Many migrants said they were fearful that the situation could become even more chaotic and uncertain in the coming days. In some places along the border barrier in Arizona and Texas, hundreds of people from a range of distant countries, including Peru, Brazil, Ghana and Thailand, waited in orderly lines to turn themselves in to Border Patrol agents and request asylum. Elsewhere, Texas National Guard troops laid out concertina wire and guarded it, preventing migrants from entering the country. Over the past two days, more than 11,000 migrants a day have crossed the southern border illegally, according to internal agency data obtained by The New York Times. The Border Patrol is already over capacity by about 10,000 people at its holding facilities. Here are the details about Title 42’s expiration: What happens at midnight?: No one is certain, but after three years of pent-up demand, which coincided with a global increase in migration, the federal government is expecting as many as 13,000 migrants to cross the border each day, up from about 6,000 on a typical busy day. And processing them will be slower; using Title 42 took about 10 minutes, compared with an hour or more under existing laws. At the border: Three Texas cities — Brownsville, Laredo and El Paso — have already declared a state of emergency as they fill up with an influx of migrants crossing before the order lifts. An estimated 2,500 undocumented migrants who had crowded the streets at a local church were cleared out by Thursday morning after Border Patrol agents encouraged them to turn themselves in and be processed. Here’s what’s happening in border towns. The administration’s response: White House officials said they have worked for months to prepare for a likely influx, ordering 1,500 troops to the border. Migrants are being offered a new legal path to enter the country if they apply online and meet certain conditions. The homeland security secretary, Alejandro N. Mayorkas, urged patience on Thursday. “We prepared for this moment for almost two years,” he said, “and our plan will deliver results.” Read more about the administration’s efforts. The political fallout: Republicans are poised to use scenes of chaos to bolster their political attacks on Democrats, accusing them of failing to secure the border. House Republicans are moving toward impeachment charges against Mr. Mayorkas as a way of dramatizing their accusations. Follow what’s happening in Washington.
The Daily Podcast had a good summary of the changes coming into effect: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/09/podcasts/the-daily/us-migrants-border-title-42.html One of the reporter's conclusions confused me. In regards to border crossing loopholes that will be possible starting after midnight, some were Mexicans (I get it, we need Mexico's support for any successful complex immigration program to work), families (I get it, politically, it's a tough visual to win on when you separate families), and then Venezualans, Cubans, and other countries that are esssentially enemies of the US. That, I don't get. I remember that one Title 42 change the last few months was basically sending Venezualans, Cubans, etc to Mexico because Mexico agreed to help. Is that recent change rescinded after Title 42 is over? For the program to work properly, the US needs other countries to accept migrants who don't qualify from countries that won't accept flights from the US.
Remain in Mexico effectively ended when Mexico rejects reinstating it. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mex...remain-mexico-policy-asylum/story?id=96939554
Biden and Lopez had a call yesterday and lopez agreed to take them in as long as we don't interfere in Mexican politics. He said the CIA was funding some rival group in Mexico and he didn't like it. Biden agreed not to interfere and Lopez will work with us. Lopez likes biden. He attacks America all the time but always says he has respect for Joe
In the short term yes but long term this country needs more immigration if we want to continue our GDP.
The GOP controlled Congress during the first half of Trump’s term wouldn’t fund the wall. Trump rejected a deal that was offered to him by Pelosi for wall funding in exchange for action on Dreamers. Anyway though Trump said that Mexico was going to pay for it.
