Other countries are facing the same problems that we are with immigration
Ah, so it's not a Joe Biden problem. Thanks for confirming.
It's a globalist problem. Biden fits right in. Our country is getting it on a larger scale than a lot of places, cause we are incentivizing it, instead of trying to prevent it
Turning your back on the world doesn't change the world. It just makes you weaker.

I don't get why the right wing mentality is so all or nothing. We are overall a better, stronger, safer nation due to immigrants coming to our country. We still need to make tweaks to improve it by creating more US jobs for border agents, judges and court personnel to process a higher volume. We still have negotiations and agreements to make with counties in Central and South America to stem the flow of illegal crossings. The solution is not to close off our borders as we are overall worse off for it.

This "all or nothing" mentality is something you made up. Or heard as propaganda. Nobody is calling for that. We just want to stop the illegal crossings. That's where the problems come from

"Nobody" = Are you knowingly lying or highly misinformed?
"We" = Your multiple personalities or are you speaking on behalf of others?

P.S. “All or nothing mentality”.
That pretty describes the orange man and many/most of his highly brainwashed followers to a tee.

Show me one serious Republican who has proposed punishing employers who hire undocumented workers and I’ll admit you’re serious about solving immigration problems. Until then you will remain the proven bigots that you are.

The potato harvest was so large this year that the migrant workers were delayed non the next harvest and are still harvesting carrots in the valley. In the meantime the sandhill crane have started arriving to clean up the fields before winter. There should be around 20,000 when we arrive next week.

No word yet on whether any of the workers are heading to the East coast to help with hurricane clean up. The welding of my new entry gate to the backyard is on hold until the carrots are done. The skier tourist migration is only a couple of months off.

Without migration the economy would just stop.

i hear there are some community college professors that could use the extra income (and who happen to detest migrants)
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

And there's the rub, even if "real" Americans came and picked them taters, they would still be "migrant workers" unless they relocated to the valley and got jobs at real universities. Migration is the natural order of things, it has been so for thousands of years. Real Americans no longer want to be migrants, but people from other countries will happily provide those agricultural services. Without them our agricultural system will collapse.

Sir, I believe you are mistaken. As I understand it, there are lines of Americans - dozens, hundreds deep at every farm and every factory - waiting for these jobs. Eager to take these jobs.

Won’t you think of the replaced?

such an odd line from someone who attempts to chastise others for supposed overt masculinity and bullying

Psych is a living breathing juxtaposition.

Of course, I am just a dumb General Manager of a boat dealership.
Clearly using words that are way over my head.
