More sticks and fewer carrots are needed. It needs to be harder for uninvited immigrants to get to the US, harder for them to stay, and being caught once illegally needs to block all future attempts.

OTOH, for people following the rules, filing to immigrate through proper channels in their home countries, those people need to be treated fairly and if they meet the legal requirements, they deserve to come, get to places with their existing family in the US to have a support system and a way to begin working within 6 months of arrival.

If legal immigrants don't have family in the US, then they need to be placed across the USA so the load is shared by everyone.

Regardless, there must be a reasonable limit of immigrants per year. For decades it was 100K, but Biden has set a higher number without consideration of the support services required to handle more. They aren't doing anyone any favors. Sleeping on the streets in America shouldn't be what we offer legal immigrants. By reducing the illegal immigrants (carrot, stick), more money can be used for legal immigrants to be helped.

I'm still embarrassed how the USA left Afghans behind who had help for years, just to be outcasts from the Taliban. Those people should be at the front of the line for legal US immigration.

Adams noted that the governor of Colorado, a Democrat, had also bused migrants to New York City. 

super odd that we never heard about that over all the screaming of "Abbott and DeSantis!!"
