If we want more people to grow the population, then we should be letting in screened individuals of varying skill sets to contribute to society and pay taxes.

But that aint how the government works (or even wants to work).

Instead we are just letting everyone walk across and come get in front of you in line at the local ER or in front of you for any social safety net.

It is absurd, and anyone who defends Biden is crazy.

We're all descended from migrants, even the native Americans walked over here. No one originated from here. So, first world problems. A country the size of the U.S. having less than a half billion people is pretty impressive, actually.


If they do anything other than bring them back across the boarder, they should pour them into small towns where a lot of people have left and tell them to build up the city and make it a functioning city and if they do that after so many years they can take the test to become US citizens (they get to skip the rest of the process), if they don't they will be put on a plane and brought back south of the border.. Someone in South America.

That could end up being a win-win maybe.

But the fact that its a first world problem because no one originated from here is dumb. There is no way to 100% secure the border. There are tunnels, people can get here by boat from the east and west, but you need security to stop as many of them as possible.

I've noticed a lot more hispanics in Central City and on S Claiborne in New Orleans. Feels like just a couple years ago it was all black with some white transplant-gentrifier types sprinkled in.
Yep, a lot of illegals living between Toledano and MLK. Hell, there's two Hispanic churches north of Claiborne Ave. Honestly, it's been an improvement for the area as most of Central City has been a warzone for decades.

It really is. He gives a good report of what is really going on. He talks about it a little bit from a political perspective and both sides will use for political reasons.

As a whole this country is held back because of both sides playing political football. And any good that is done rarely equals the problems they cause when elections come around, but that's an issue for another day.

A migrant is someone who returns back to where they are from after their job season… like the ones who come down and work sugar cane fields or cotton fields further north. They ain’t going anywhere

Houston metro claims to have 7 million or something like that but in reality it’s more like 10 million when you account for all the illegals

Seems like there have been way more panhandlers on every major street corner, holding signs for help with food or rent. Sometimes, they even have their kids with them- I know you're not supposed to judge by looks, but the large majority of them look like 'migrants'

Trump had no issue securing the border and cutting off the migrant caravans.


Funny how Mexico suddenly cared about the caravan problem when pressed by the threat of drone strikes against their cartel overlords.

They knew going in they wouldn't have any such worries with the nutless Joe Biden administration.

How many Texas plates you been seeing? A lot? How many temporary tags you been seeing on the interstate?

We're fricked, homey.



This is the correct formula as to how many are here.

You can ABSOLUTELY ASSUME when you sport a Texas plate or temp tag who will be driving the vehcle. If your assumption is "foreign nationals from south of the border", you will be accurate 90+% of the time.


If that's not enough, visit any BR emergency room on just about any night after 7pm.

Those are gypsies. Hispanics aren't the only ones coming unfettered across the border. We're getting all of the world's free loaders.

This is because Louisiana isn't a swing state.

There was a family of 5 (or 6) walking west on 74 from Dutchtown yesterday in 5 PM traffic. There are no sidewalks; it's either road or ditch in the area.

Evidently they had no car and can't figure out where they were going.
