If it's disgusting, should not be a fact of life. Perhaps our representatives that we send to Washington do not see it as a priority. The problem has certainly been around for decades plus but that does not make it a good policy. Simply put, perhaps the over $2B being spent on the illegal border crossers may be better spent on the veterans serving the United States.

We could go back to using the laws on the books for the illegals crossing the border and use the $2B for those serving the United States.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen

Poor choice of words on my part but my point, as you also stated, is Washington doesn't see it as a priority and never will.
I have a different perspective on "illegal" immigration. I went through flight training on the border and the laws really havent changed much since then. On a daily basis I saw "illegals" come across the border, gather in a specific location and hope they could find work. The lucky ones did on the same day, the others stayed until the next day, and on an on. It was the day labor economy then and probably still would be if some people hadn't suddenly begun to believe these people were evil criminals. The taking jobs from Americans excuse is pure BS because the average American wouldn't do the available jobs.

We are doing so. The laws and the courts dictate how we must treat anyone entering the US. plain and simple.

You are a true blue idiot
I have no idea what your PhD is in but it sure as hell has not increased your level of common sense! More like Doctorate of Delusional! Yes it is true the Laws and Courts dictate it BUT BIDEN HAS BEEN CIRCUMVENTING THOSE LAWS!!! Biden does not have any legal authority to violate one single statue in those laws! But he has been doing it! Biden also does not have any authority to make any city or the whole state of California a Sanctuary State. Biden went to Los Angeles and Publicly Stated that he was proclaiming all of California a Sancturary State. Biden has no legal authority to make that claim. By doing that is in direct violation to the existing laws governing arrest and deportations of illegal immigrants. ARE YOU AWARE THAT CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN ALLOWING ILLEGALS TO VOTE??? California has been allowing illegals to receive Food Stamps, Medical, Social Security Benefits for over 10 years now AND VOTE. Do you know how many shiploads of illegals arrive in the California Ports of Entry??? Homeland Security, ICE are not allowed to arrest, Border Patrol is not allowed to arrest, detain or deport them. So, tell me again how any part of the laws on the book are being executed??? Also no one with any News Agencies are allowed to film them or even to question them!!! NOTE: Read the MESSAGE at the end of this......
I do not know where you are getting ANY of your information that any of the laws are being followed. Where? Because if the laws were being carried out then why have they NOT BEEN DEPORTED but were sent to Sanctuary Locations? And also, why would Biden pay for their coming here to just deport them? You are living in some delusional bubble as to these illegals crossing the border. What part of Biden DIVERTING BILLIONS from the Infrastructure Bill over to the United Nations paying for the Refugees in camps to enter the USA illegally is not considered illegal? That has been established. Diverting Tax Payer money of a Bill meant for OUR Infrastructure is misrepresentation, misleading, lying to the American Public. That is illegal from step one. Using US Tax Payer's money to illegally bring to the USA, Facilitating not only illegal immigrants but also the refugees in camps in Europe, Jordan, Turkey, Germany, and many more. Every facet of this effort to circumvent all of this Nation's Immigration Laws, violating our National Security, facilitating Human Trafficking, drug trafficking, sex trafficking. Biden has also violated the" Posse Comitatus Act" using the military to facilitate the trafficking but has used Military Bases to hide them also. Every segment that has been done was done in secrecy because Biden knows full well he is violating so many laws.
How do you think all those Refugees from over seas got here? SWIM??? Biden USED YOURS AND MINE TAX MONEY!!!!

NOTE: Do you know how many over crowded prisons in El Salvador, Honduras, Columbia, Guatemala, Venezuela, Peru, up to Mexico all the way to LA let out and who were shipped to the Mexico/ USA border??? The estimate is 3 million. These are the ones who make up the getaways, some were caught and these are some of the most ruthless of evil people that are members of MS-13. There were already in USA an estimated 1.3 million operating in just L.A. alone. These people HAD NO REPSECT FOR THE LAWS IN THEIR COUNTRY SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF USA LAWS????
Remember all those 30,000 Haitians under the bridges here in Texas? When the authorities went to round them up, it became a terrible riot, many Border Patrol were seriously injured. Do you know why Haitians are NOT ALLOWED TO IMMIGRATE TO USA???? Because 1/3 rd the population are HIV/AIDS positive, are ZIKA virus carriers, ALL of the Haitian population have one or all of Hepatitis A, B,C, D at various levels. Haitians also carry Chikungunya virus, along with several forms of Malarial viruses that can lay dormant for years. 40 percent have TB....soon there will be drastic rise in TB, POLIO, SMALLPOX, and a ton more diseases start showing up across the USA. We the US Citizens were mandated to wear masks but none of the illegals were nor under any orders to follow. NONE of these people respected laws in there own countries, they will not respect the laws here.

Greetings MSG Stan Hutchison - We already have laws and policies on the books to help those in need. The easy answer is enforce those laws.

Allowing millions to cross the border from 100+ countries (plus got a ways) that can not be determined who they are is a detriment to our National Security. We are subjecting the U.S. to another 911, only worse. The administration 1st priority is protecting "we the people."

SPC Jeff Daley, PhD - Why can we not do both?

MSG Stan Hutchison - Asked and answered - Following the laws on the books lends help to those in need restricts those that do not deserve entrance, much like the man that assaulted Pelosi and the others on the illegal list that have killed and raped with in days of crossing the border. In addition there is help for the needy by way of philanthropic organization.

Did you catch A BULLET in your head? So, now that Biden has opened the Borders to anyone, helped pay their way here then we are to support them too with our hard earned TAX DOLLARS ?
Has the Bleeding Heart rubbish blinded your common sense? US Citizens SHOULD ALWAYS COME FIRST!!! Especially Wounded Veterans and the Gold Star families!!!!
If I hear another BS whiner about being a Bleeding Heart give aways then by all means you can forfeit YOUR retirement paychecks!!!
