@BryantBryant-jt9uj I doubt that she "hates" them. You seem to be making assumptions. We have 300 legal ports of entry all over our border regions. Normal immigration isn't the problem, other than the process not being fast enough because of the sheer volume. Those people are vetted and are on work visas/green cards. We welcome legal immigrants. The USA also accepts more legal asylum seekers than any other country. That does put strain on our system, which we can't afford (see the last paragraph for more explanation), but we nonetheless do it every year.
The main problem right now is the wide-open southern border (and now the Canadian border), where anyone and everyone can come across and take advantage of our welfare system. We should be taking care of our own homeless first. Sixty seven dollars in food stamps per month is ridiculous. That's about enough for a week with today's inflation. Cat is an elderly American citizen going through serious cancer, and she deserves more than that. The illegals are being taken care of much better.
As I type this comment, the homeless natives in Chicago are allowed to sleep in police stations and firehouses when the weather is inclement and the shelters are full. First thing in the morning, they must leave. Now we have illegals sleeping in those safe, climate-controlled spaces who are allowed to be there 24 hours a day. How is that right? Chicago homeless Americans are freezing to death in the winter because the shelter system is over-burdened. The same is happening in NYC and DC. All of California is being affected by this burden issue.
All of these places who proclaimed themselves to be "sanctuary cities" are now facing the consequences of their decisions--and they can't handle it. Now the citizens who voted in these policies are in an uproar because the government wants to clear out school gymnasiums to house illegals, and build tent cities across from schools. None of these illegals have been vetted, as they would if they had come here through a legal port of entry. You don't know who they are. Most of them are actually military-aged young men--and they aren't planning on joining our military unless they have nefarious reasons.
It's nice to want to help everyone in the world, but it's not feasible. We are 30+ trillions of dollars in debt. We can't even afford to take care of our problems. The more you support your stance, the more your own taxes will go up. It's cheaper for us to send poor countries money--that they should be using to better themselves--rather than spending all this money on every economic refugee who comes here (upwards to $200,000 PER PERSON a year!). Most of these people aren't coming from war-torn countries, and they're technically supposed to seek asylum in the first "civilized" country they come into--which would be Mexico.
Every person who comes here illegally is taking away from our citizens and our legal immigrants who patiently wait to go through due process (sometimes taking several years). It's simply unsustainable and unfair.
