    If you want more immigration invite them in to your blue state
    which have the majority of the country's income, better still
    they need housing more than we do so invite them into your
    home, and I'm sure there's room for you in the garage.

    And if you agree with Biden's insistence that we should be
    fighting Russia over in Ukraine, and China in the South China
    Sea, and all the Arab nations where the Arab nations are, then
    go sign up with the arm of the military of your choice because
    you want a really big 'defense' budget, which does zero for
    defense, and tell your wife to welcome the immigrants at the
    airport or the southern border with her SUV and add them to
    the ones you've already invited in.

    Lead from the front!

    I think it's more practical to settle immigrants where they cross the border.

    One place they don't want to seem to go is Russia. Could this be the lack of a sewerage system?

    Republicans have no interest in getting rid of illegal immigration as a national issue. They've already had to give up same-sex marriage and abortion, and it didn't help them. The latter has actually hurt them. Other than guns and possibly religion, illegal immigration is one of the last fund-raising hot button issues Republicans can run on. The party won't always have Trump to point to instead of having to have an actual platform and message.

    So, you don't want foreign trained doctors and nurses in New Mexico?

    "The challenge is large: in July the state was short 1,000 physicians and almost 7,000 nurses, according to published job announcements around the state.

    And the need is only expected to grow as baby boomers retire and strain the already-overburdened system, without a guarantee that a new generation will replace retiring medical professionals. Every state is confronting too few medical professionals. That means New Mexico competes nationally, even internationally, for a too small pool of nurses, doctors, and other health workers."

    We want legal immigration, not this...

    We're not fighting Russia or China.
    You must think the Iranians are Arabs.
    You give evidence of being a low-information MAGA voter. Perhaps the altitude in New Mexico is a problem.

    Watch as the election looms closer and closer how Biden and the democrats will start talking about securing the border.

    It's possible. I mean, the fact that Republicans refused to pass a bi-partisan bill that would have immensely helped in securing the border is not a talking point Democrats might be willing to pass on. Once Biden has secured enough swing-states by pointing out that Trump is an indicted felon out on bail who tortured children, presided over the worst Covid response in the world, sexually abused women, stole government documents (most likely to sell them to the Russians), incited an insurrection... he might want to go after some red states. And that would be one of the points that might interest them to learn.

    Dude every one with a functioning brain realizes that the only border control bill still languishes in the senate because the farce the democrats voted funds more immigration not less.

    Not a lot of doctors there The doctors and nurses are staying home and breathing a sigh of relief as the trouble makers that scared the crap out of them move north.

    Those who have read the bill and reported on it say the bill was just pork-pork-pork and did nothing to secure the border. I believe them because it's the MO of the democrats.

    An about-face on immigration would be too obvious an admission the Biden
    neocons and neoliberals were wrong.

    There are plenty of corrupt Republicans as well, that's why Trump gets the support,
    he isn't owned by the MIC or big Pharma or big Agri or the other lobbyists.

    I think this is a full steam ahead into the iceberg situation because
    Most democrats won't admit to being wrong
    and
    the media has submerged most of the Anglosphere in lies, so
    there is not alternative narrative for the democrats to follow.

    We have three really big problems,
    1 The dollar is heavily indebted and getting worse
    2 Most of the US population thinks the country was right to
    get into a war in Ukraine, and most likely other wars.
    3 The US has a huge immigrant population.

    And those are the problems.
    Pointing at Russia or China or Iran won't make our problems go away.

    If the Biden democrats threw away their money
    and went to war themselves
    and flooded their own towns with immigrants

    they would know they were wrong before subjecting
    the whole country to their 'little experiment'.

    Or find out they were right if that was the way it worked out,
    in their pilot project and sold the idea to the rest of us first.

    Either way it would be safer than the nation wide experiment
    they are doing.

    Do you believe the media?????
    Would Russia be protecting their border in Ukraine if they
    were losing even 100,000 solders?
    get a grip of reality.

    According to the CBO, there's 342 million people inside the United States right now. That's PLENTY!

    We need to declare a moratorium on all migration into the United States for at least a five year period so that we can even hope to absorb or deport all the illegal migrants and 'asylum' scammers we're already choking on!

    Of course they would. They don't care how many people they lose. They'll just send in more "fresh meat".

    Lol...the whole country is a shithole sewer that only spits out disinformation and divisive propaganda like what's in the op.

    Huh? New Mexico is short 1,000 doctors and @yangforward, whose profile says he lives in New Mexico, proclaims he doesn't want immigrants in his state. I said what we don't want is illegals.

    Looks as though you won't fess up to trying to shut off needed immigration because you can't figure out how to deal with illegals running the border.

    The USA can't survive with the entire population of the world coming here. So someone tell me when the giant invasion is going to end. Five thousand a day can add up quickly. Thanks Biden.

    Their view only becomes "practical" when its on their own street. AOC proved that 100% in NYC. PHONY AS HECK!

    Of course not, but that isn't happening.
    When Americans decide to go after employers hiring them. No President, including the Orange Oaf, has done that.

    Trump had two illegals working in his private golf course suite when he was President. Now, do you suppose the Secret Service didn't check on everyone who was working in an area with direct access to the President?
    The number isn't as big a deal as who is coming here. We should welcome a mix of people from around the world, not waving in a monoculture of most Spanish speaking people who can run the border because they live nearby. As well, we have no idea who is hightailing by border guards.
    Thanks Biden, Trump, Obama, Dubya Bush, Clinton, Daddy Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy... Eisenhower was the only President who tried to do something about illegals since we started bringing in Latinos during WW2 to ease our labor shortage.

    There is no answer to this poll. I don't want any more of them as of now. We have taken in enough for now. Some areas busting at the seams with them.

    With all his faults, Trump is the one president who wants to get a handle on the problem.
