Simple, don't vote for open borders candidates like Biden et al. Demand accountability from Congress and its members. Support candidates that have an actual PLAN to secure the borders. If they have a plan to overhaul the immigration system also, great! But securing the birders must come first.Ok so what is it that we as individuals can do that will make it better?
I am all about compromise because in 2023 that is the only way we move foward.
My way won't work, ok you know that yours isn't as you gave dates and amounts.
So where is the middle ground that are actionable for me?
There's no reason a president couldn't empower state and local agencies to end illegal border crossings. There's no reason Congress couldn't fund border barriers and patrols. There's no reason they couldn't work together to return all unlawful entrants to their respective countries, with express instructions to apply for asylum or other lawful immigration status at the US consulate or embassy in their home countries.
If that creates a worker shortage, no problem. Authorize that many more TEMPORARY migrant worker visas. Lawfully entering, working in and then LEAVING the US when your visa expires, puts you at the head of the line for the next round of Lawful Permanent Resident cards.
If you actually qualify as an asylee due to a qualifying condition (not economic refugee, see above for them), then you get an I-94 that's contingent upon location verification and further processing. Failure to comply with those requirements would result in cancellation of your lawful status in the US.
What the Biden Administration is doing is simply indefensible. They're releasing unknown and unverified illegal immigrants into the US with no tracking and no established reporting or processing protocols. That's in direct contravention of our Constitution and our laws. It's literally the worst thing they could do.
