dbergh, Your border bs has become more than tiresome:
conix, Fact Check: Trump's New Seven Point Attack on Harris' Immigration Record
[...]Bottom line is that Trump blocked the latest bi-partisan border bill because he and his mongrels
like you get mileage from a border situation which he and his GOP are now most responsible for.

ALDRADJKD123, Trump’s Border Policies Let More Immigrants Sneak In
[...]President Trump’s top policy priority was supposedly “border security.” But government data show that he failed to improve it. Border Patrol recorded 41 percent more successful illegal entries in fiscal year 2019 than in 2016 and was on pace for 47 percent more through four months of 2020. As he left office in January, reports indicate .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/border-surge-biden-crisis/2021/03/05/d0933282-7db8-11eb-b0fc-83144c02d676_story.html .. that the numbers have reached even greater heights.
[...]
The Trump border policy had a single-minded focus: keep out asylum seekers. Yet the ability to apply for asylum meant that fewer people tried to sneak in. One border crosser in 2018 told .. https://www.wsj.com/articles/this-is-your-daughter-when-was-she-born-u-s-border-agents-test-migrants-claims-of-family-ties-1519986600 .. the Wall Street Journal that he had turned himself into the first Border Patrol agent he saw and was seeking “the immigration office.” Rather than direct these crossers to legal crossing points, the Trump administration blocked .. https://www.cato.org/blog/congress-uncapped-asylum-agencies-covertly-re-capped-it .. applicants from applying at ports of entry.
P - After first separating families and then attempting ban asylum, Trump started returning asylum seekers to Mexico to await hearings in homeless camps on the other side of the border line. This led to a wave of crimes .. https://www.humanrightsfirst.org/campaign/remain-mexico .. against immigrants. Some were kidnapped, other raped, and some murdered. When the pandemic hit, the government suspended all hearings for those already returned to Mexico and began expelling all others with no hearing all.
P - It was inevitable that as the opportunity to obtain asylum disappeared or the costs to do so increased (such as through family separation). A greater percentage of people would attempt to sneak around ports of entry.
P - Unfortunately, President Biden has maintained nearly all of Trump’s border policies.

conix, Scalise's comment is false - No, Border Deal Won’t ‘Allow’ 5,000 Unauthorized Immigrants a Day
[...]
Experts pointed out that in light of the stricter border security measures in the compromise bill, the number of unauthorized crossings was likely to dip.
P - “The bill would not allow for the entry of 5,000 unauthorized immigrants a day,” Michelle Mittelstadt, a spokeswoman for the Migration Policy Institute, said in an email. “In fact, it would lead to reduced unauthorized entries because it mandates a higher bar to be considered for asylum and puts in place a swifter screening process with limits on review in case of denial, and there are increased capacities for detention and removal.”
P - She added, “With or without that 5,000 trigger, anyone intercepted crossing the border illegally would face a higher bar to consideration for asylum.”
P - Senator James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican who helped draft the bill, has also pushed back on claims it greenlit the illegal entry of 5,000 migrants a day.

livefree_ordie, if you only could. Even a little more, live freeer of whatever suffocates you. Once more:
"Living in Australia you have zero voice in our and my Country."
You could tell that to every reporter and to every observer who reports or observes on your country in
print or by other means of communicatio, but you wouldn't because you would look too silly for words.
"The side you apparently th ky stand with should they win in 2024 will do the following and if you all want more of this then she’s your gal."
At least Nostradamus based his predictions on some sort of evidence other than his personal hot air.
"Unimpeded immigration by the millions over the last 3.5 years."
That's inane. Never in American history has immigration into the U.S. been unimpeded. And it was Trump and
your Republicans who derailed the most recent attempt at, in some views as the strongest immigration bill ever.
P - Republicans kill border bill in a sign of Trump's strength and McConnell's waning influence
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell encouraged GOP senators to pass an immigration and Ukraine aid deal. Just four of them supported it. In the end, even he voted no.
[...] WASHINGTON — Within 48 hours of the release of a long-awaited immigration and foreign aid bill he had championed, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Republican conference rejected his pitch to support it, knifed the deal and left it for dead.

Trump would rather have the border problem than solve it. If you hadn't understood that before you haven't been politically alive.

July 30, 2024 Tax Payments by Undocumented Immigrants
[...]Most of the tax dollars paid by undocumented immigrants are collected through levies applied to their incomes. This includes broad income taxes as well as narrower payroll taxes levied on workers’ earnings that are dedicated to specific programs. It is well established that undocumented workers contribute to the solvency of major social insurance programs through their tax contributions.[6] They pay taxes that fund Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment Insurance, among other programs, despite their exclusion from most of those benefits.[7] Figure 2 details the tax contributions that undocumented immigrants make under major social insurance programs.

And, a fun idea for how you could cut the crime rate per person
down in your country, you could let more law abiding people in:

dbergh, You should know the refugee crime rate in America and in other
countries is considered to be lower than the rate among non immigrants:
Do Refugees Cause More Crime? The Facts Say Probably Not
They might surprise you.
https://www.globalcitizen.org/fr/content/these-are-the-facts-on-refugees-and-crime/
"The people are starting to see the crime before it was in pockets now it is starting to spread and people are
seeing it. And that is not to say the financial impact that is starting to come from the migrants and it is coming "
