re: What does this board actually want in politics

Don't kid yourself. You're against any type.....even from Europe. You don't want any meaningful legislation set up to make it clear for potential emigres to work even a semi complicated path.

I'm all for putting a vice grip on the illegal immigration pouring through the southern border, but there has to be a reform of the asylum laws and only Congress can do it. Not Biden, not Trump, but your elected representatives. Immigrants found a loophole in the laws and are exploiting it. You can attempt to shut down the border, round up people who have snuck across, put them in camps and attempt to deport. But the second they say "asylum" the game changes and the courts take over and they get to stay....for a while.
