This week, Gallup released a new poll about how satisfied Americans are with the management of U.S. immigration policy. The poll revealed that the percentage of Americans who are “dissatisfied out of a desire for less immigration” has doubled in just two years of the Biden administration—ballooning from 19% in 2021 and 35% in 2022 to 40% in early 2023. It should surprise no one that the nation’s taste for more immigration has soured.
Good article. How do you respond to the position that more immigrants, illegal or otherwise, add needed tax dollars to our systems. There are also many "experts" that claim illegals are no drain or very little drain to the local, State, and Federal systems as the tax dollars the illegal contribute cover most if not all of the costs to the various systems.
I think the point of view illustrated by my questions is the biggest purveyor of the attitude that illegals are a blessing, not a curse as this is the only message that seems to reach the air waves when this topic becomes heated enough to reach them.
This of course ignores the drugs that stream across the border with illegals, as well as the child trafficking, enslavement, and rapes that occur as a result of putting people in the position to be illegal and thus...off the radar.
Well said. Unfortunately you're singing to the choir
