There was no "border crisis" under Biden

[Politruk]

And there was no "open border policy" either.

Can we please hear no more of these canards?

Especially, let's not hear any more of them from Trump himself. I just saw a tweet of his referring to Biden's "Open Border Policy."

Does it make a sound? (I just wanted to quote myself).

Oh. Sidenote.

And there is no border crisis now either. And no way in which the country will be better off without illegal immigrants. Quite the reverse.

Make them legal. Make them pay taxes. Withdraw social security. Make them take a constitution test. Pay them a living wage.

1. They do pay taxes on everything they buy, just like Americans do.
2. Undocumented immigrants don't have Social Security numbers, so there is nothing to withdraw.
3. Most of them would be more than willing to take that citizenship test if given the opportunity to do so.
4. I agree about living wages, but even you know which party has fought tooth and nail against that for decades.

Make them citizens. We do it all the time. Kick back the rotten apples.

I think you'll find most progressives are all for that. I certainly am.

Not even the criminals are really a problem. Every previous wave of immigrants had criminals among it, from the Irish to the Italians, and in hindsight, that was no reason to screen them out. The Latinos present nothing different.
