Are you saying you’d charge Biden with a crime if you were the DA?
No. Just hold him responsible for said decisions at the appropriate time. Starting...November.

They're "entwined" mostly in people's overworked imaginations. It's a way the liberals try justify to us that we desperately need them.

Why exactly do most of them come here if not to find work?

Not so sure about this. English is not their language. Reading, writing, and communication are required skills. We don't need millions of lettuce pickers. We used to have a program that allowed seasonal workers to come in and do farm work. We survived and did well.

A non-sequitur. That isn't the point. You said the U.S. can't survive without them. I say that's hyperbolic nonsense.

Please enlighten me on how unaffected the economy would be if they all went poof tomorrow. Businesses can’t find people to work now with them here.

Reform the welfare system, as in make it more difficult to take handouts. And then see what happens. People will either work or they'll starve.

I agree, I just wish we had the trillions of dollars back we handed out as corporate welfare in the last two decades.

You would think starving would motivate but work ethic even in dire straights is hard to recover/learn.

I tell people to just pull up pictures from our history where the grass grew up over the houses or homes had no shingles on the roof. These things were always done until we began to form an entire underclass that understands it is now possible to live without contributing to your own well being. But, one party needs a permanent underclass to reach its socialist goals.

But...that would fly in the face of the Left's need to have a perpetual State of Victimhood on a large part of our Society.
