  Who said they “don’t want immigrants at all”? I haven’t seen that argument made anywhere.

      From your source

      “illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”

      It doesn’t require reading between the lines but it seems like Trump is against illegal immigration. You do know there is a difference between immigration and illegal immigration don’t you?

      Again who has said they “don’t want immigrants at all”?

    Nobody. Liberals just like to skree. Trump has asked for more legal immigration. He is against illegal immigration.

  We think it should be allowed, but 2.4 million illegals in 2023 alone is a bit much. And thats just the ones we know about. The US is 340 million people, more than likely more than 1% is here illegally.

  So yes, we agree. Probably just a matter of where to draw the line. Personally it should be strict, and the first instance of a crime, including illegally immigrating, should result in deportation.

    If we need the labor, we need to make it easier for people to come here to work. Personally I’m not sold we need the labor. As long as we have people on welfare, we have surplus labor.

    So in other words, what I said is true.

      Are you advocating for immigration in general, or illegal immigration specifically?

    No one is illegal, they are undocumented seeking asylum that is provided by US law.

      Common myth. The way you’re supposed to seek asylum is to apply at a border checkpoint or at an embassy. And asking for asylum after you get caught illegally immigrating is a separate act from illegally immigrating.

        So you are supposed to do it in the first safe country. They are just illegals and not asylum seekers.
