@Mr. Noidall

That time when a president actually cared about the domestic border over a foreign border; when a president actually enforced the immigration laws. Maybe except for that time when Obama built the cages. But except for that.

You mean the US president taking bribes from foreign countries, admiring Putin autocrats, and committing tax fraud while using his job to funnel money into his failing businesses on the taxpayer's dime.

The only thing trump cares about is himself.

@Mr. Noidall.........The former president Trump spent most of his time trying undue anything connected to Pres. Obama legacy that actually helped the country because Pres. Obama made him look like a fool in public (roasted at a ceremony). I remember trump also disbanded the infectious response team sent to China to monitor emerging biological threats like SARS. How did that turn out?

I remember.....COVID-19 and his poor response!

100% correct

These are matters that should be settled by Congress and not by Presidents. President Trump had no business imposing such a rule on his own and President Biden has no business retracting such a rule on his own. At some point the US Supreme Court needs to limit the Executive Branches ability to make rules on their own. Only Congress should be in the business of making rules and only as public laws, not as executive orders.

If the US Congress did their job, then the US would have a clear, fair, immigration policy that doesn't force a state to pay for immigrants. The current law clearly allows the President to set annual immigrant numbers.

During an emergency, POTUS needs the ability to set rules, for a short period of time - say 6 months - by then Congress should have done their job to address or code-i-fy the rule changes into law.

If Congress wants to provide public support for potential new immigration, then they need to get that expenditure included in a budget. With the US running a $5T deficit/yr, I hope they pull their heads out of their collective arses and refuse.

Leaving the costs to a state cannot be allowed. If I lived in a border state still, I'd be extremely pissed off if we were required to pay to house and keep indigent immigrants. Many countries have a mandate that visitors show proof of financial capability before entry is allowed. Seems this would be reasonable for the USA too - along with having a seasonal farm worker visa program.

The US should be able to control how many, and who, enters. Making a request to enter shouldn't automatically incarcerate or free anyone. It needs to happen BEFORE entry is allowed.

Border crossings have U-turn lanes for a reason.

The US should block all immigration, and leave the immigrants for the rest of us. Win-win-win situation.

Just me but I find the immigrants to be almost uniformly nicer and more appreciative people than the bitter and negative anti-immigration crowd. I'd much rather have a struggling immigrant with limited English language abilities than a white nationalist as a neighbor. Any day of the week!

Considering the Total Fertility Rate for women in the US is down to only 1.78 the US had better bring in a constant stream of immigrants to support the economy and to pay into Social Security and Medicare to support aging natives.
