@H43339 We can afford to take in a lot more than we do, a fully settled immigrant provides more value to the US economy than they take. The only actual problem we face now is that we don't have the border judges available to process all these immigrants in a timely manner. This leaves most of them waiting around for trial dates, prevented by law from seeking work. If they could be processed into legal US residents, then they could start getting jobs and paying their own way in society.
If you truly insist on keeping them out of the country though, I'm afraid that the only solution would be to improve the countries they came from to the point where they could stay there. Nobody WANTS to trek through hundreds of miles of inhospitable terrain, a journey that many die on, but they have literally no other option at the moment. Provide them a better option, and they'll stop coming. Until then, it's like the war on drugs, you can't fight the supply, you can only fight the demand.

@rl192 Here is the direct quote from Biden on Mar 24, 2021:
"In addition to that, there’s about five other major things she’s handling, but I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.
. . .
"And so, this increase has been consequential, but the Vice President has agreed — among the multiple other things that I have her leading — and I appreciate it — agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept re- — the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders."
You can read the full transcript for more, but again, he was only assigning her to meet with the leaders of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, to improve their countries in ways that would involve people staying there. And she succeeded at that.

She was meant to deal with their borders, not ours.

@camomaxx One, you can claim asylum because you are poor if that has led to an inability to survive in your home country. Two, there is ZERO need to do that in the first country you arrive in, you just made that up because you want it to be true. and as for applying to enter the US, that would be a great idea, but due to Republican stonewalling over the past few decades, we currently do not offer nearly as many immigration slots as people trying to enter, so for most migrants, it is literally not an option, so they have to resort to plan B.
If you want to reduce illegal immigration, there are only two ways to do it. 1. Make conditions better in their home country so that they don't need to come here to survive, and 2. massively increase the amount of legal visas given out so that more people who want to enter legally are allowed to do so. There is no solution in which less migrants enter the US.
