Data compiled by Libertarian group shows Trump was letting criminals in too.

That is true.
Was that Trump’s intent? We all know what Trump’s intent was.
What was the intent of Washington and the push to get illegals to come to this country?
Do you think that illegals woke up one morning and said, Trump is now in office, so I am going to the United States!
Everything costs money and is controlled by the courts. The money is borrowed, and the courts have political players that some judges follow.
In California where I live a lot of immigration laws and actions are born. With over 27% of the state’s population born in foreign countries. Only ten states have a total population more than California’s immigration population.
The CATO data does not show the cause. It only shows the effect. The cause started long before Trump took office.
California helped set up for an influx of immigration by changing laws and regulations by first changing the Welfare and Institutions Codes.
First it started by changing the liability requirements. And then making services and funds available.
Examples of setting up the legal groundwork: Providing legal services for undocumented people. Pay all administrative and supervisory costs and court fees for undocumented people. Assist with the naturalization process and an appeal arising from any of the process. Requiring contractors to work with the office of refugee resettlement legal access projects. And require contractors to maintain legal malpractice insurance that indemnified and held the State harmless from any claim. Exempting contractors from having to follow public contract codes and following the State Contracting Manual. Not having to be approved by the Department of General Services. Exempting contractors from inspections and the California Public records keeping laws.
Examples of the use of Taxpayers’ dollars: $20M for WIC to start the ball rolling in 2017 for childhood arrivals. The same year that Trump took office. California was set up for unaccompanied children to come to the US. The grants were given to NPO’s that had at least three years of experience of dealing with illegal immigration. Plus 10 years of immigration experience with legal services and receiving funding from the CA trust fund program.
It was a surprise that Trump became president. Trump got into office after programs were setup to bring hundreds of millions of people into the United States. Using taxpayer funds. Using NPO’s to move and take care of the illegals. New York for example is having all kinds of trouble with less than 200,000 illegals. The government is not good at management. The NPO’s are the ones running the government funded operation.
Not surprised that Lausten is trying to back his views that immigration is not a problem by using the desperate actions of the same news outlets that said Biden’s laptop was phony and nothing more than Russian interference during Trump’s last election.
Trump did a great job against a well-funded and organized program that was not in the goals he wanted for America.
Status of Funds
Each year federal agencies receive funding from Congress, known as budgetary resources. In FY 2024, the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) had $1.01 Billion distributed among its 1 sub-components. Agencies spend available budgetary resources by making financial promises called obligations.
AI Overview - Global media is a term that refers to all types of mass communication that can reach people around the world. This includes traditional media like radio, television, and newspapers, as well as social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
Global media plays a significant role in shaping national identities, political culture, and economic systems. It can also influence how people consume and produce media, and how culture is shaped.
The study of global media is an academic discipline that examines how news is reported on an international level. It also involves analyzing global production networks, understanding the impact of media on national governments, and exploring the role of global journalism and social media.
That is actually my point. If it’s true for Trump, then it’s true fir Biden.
When did I say it’s not a problem?
Who is pushing for illegals to come here?
Yes, we have had immigration problems for decades. President Regan thought he had taken care of the problem when he agreed to amnesty. He agreed to sign amnesty if congress would complete the changes agreed to after he left office. The agreed issues were never made into law. Immigration has become an industry. The problems expanded under Biden and downsized under Trump.
You stated that immigration was such a small number that it was not an issue. I said the that one immigrant brings twenty more people to the US. We have around 22M immigrants in the US right now. If they only brought in half of the relatives as in the past that would still be over 200M people. Which would totally change the US. Example: up to 35% of stolen autos end up in other countries. It is a problem in many areas of insurance. Other industries are medical care and lawsuits.
My viewpoint. It is the cartel. The largest cartel in the world has been making money from immigration for over a hundred years now. And according to The Heritage Foundation has been working with the Biden administration. There are no laws on the books to see if Cartels are being paid by Russia or China. An army of immigration can destroy a nation. Look no further than America history for that. Sweden is having trouble today. The Roman Empire is one of the best known to have been destroyed during the Migration Period. Egypt to the Hyksos is another. The cheapest way to destroy your enemies is to force immigration on their system. All of Europe is experiencing trouble right now.
I don’t think I did. Maybe I made a typo.
Your usual useless data.
Thank you for giving your source, so I know for sure it’s wrong
He has got you talking about issues he wants to talk about and not others. Pathway to victory
International organized theft groups and transnational gangs end up costing everyone.
I hated using The Heritage Foundation because they have gone downhill a lot. But we talked about them not long ago. And it sounded like you thought they were OK. Yes, that was my source.
This is not a game. I made my point right off. Trump was great at border policy against the swamp. I think write4u question was right on.
The numbers today cannot be compared to past numbers. It is no longer high school kids coming across to party. Then, asking you if you have seen a Border Patrol bus because they want a ride back to the border because they are to tired to walk, making up the largest number of illegal crossers.
Media treating the elections as a game ~ reporting on the way harris and trump dance , laugh and other idiosyncratic mannerisms
Where did you hear that? Not heard a thing about how they dance. I have heard that he called part of the U.S. a garbage (ie Puerto Rico) and if it is, that’s his fault for not helping them after the hurricane they had when he sat in the big house. Then he threatened Liz Chaney with violence. Why anyone wants him back in control killing people, I have no idea. He killed 150 million people with COVID alone. That’s not even counting others he killed near the border. Before he even step foot in the White House, he ran a few casinos into the ground filing bankruptcy. How the hell does anyone go bankrupt running a casino? The orange creature doesn’t know how to deal with money. It’s a stupid business man.
