FEMA was reported to provide housing and care, including cell phones, meals, and temporary shelter, to migrants at the southern border .
2 things. 1) you would need to prove that the small amount spent on this program is more than the billions in tax revenue taken in.
2) you know that if they're asylum seekers they aren't illegal immigrants right? so spending money on migrants doesn't necessarily have anything to do with illegals.
In 2023 and 2024, FEMA, through its Shelter and Services Program (SSP), allocated over $780 million to support communities dealing with migrant arrivals.
keyword migrant. This funding is for helping all migrants. not only illegals.
The concern of giving the same leaders another four years to "fix" problems they directly played a role in creating is shared by many critics. Instead of focusing on durable solutions, like reforming immigration laws, re-implementing remain in Mexico policies, tightening amnesty rules to discourage economic migrants, or securing the border effectively, the current trajectory seems to recycle ineffective approaches that play well in focus-groups.
lol, biden continued trump's border policies. You blame democrats when the republicans don't do anything different.
Real change will require stronger enforcement policies and practical reform, not just fancy promises and increased spending on temporary relief programs, which ultimately serve as band-aid solutions at best and incentives for America's destruction at worst. The reality is that without meaningful policy adjustments, the same problems will persist, regardless of who's in office.
I agree, but there is no enforcement solution. certainly not on it's own. It's like the war on drugs. It doesn't matter how many drug dealers you arrest, as long as people want to buy the drugs, more dealers will take their place. As long as people are desperate for a better life in south and central america, they will pay people to smuggle them in. And as long as the law solely focuses on the migrants and gives the rich assholes hiring them a slap on the wrist, there will keep being a demand for their labor in the US. The only way to address the problem is to make people's lives better in the places they are coming from, and prison sentences for the rich assholes exploiting their labor in the US.
