All the illegals coming in aren't helping things either

HuntressHimbo ,

I hope immigrants sneak in and move your house a few inches further from your work every day

That explains the noises at night! If they could just shore up our one sagging foundation corner in the back while they're at it, that'd be great. After they do some serious manual labor in the summer sun for me, then they can go back to their country until I need more work done. Oh! Actually, no, we need them to do the harvest. And there's this thing with some construction.... shit. It turns out that hard workers are actually really needed everywhere and we shouldn't be such xenophobic/racist assholes all the time.

I do actually need the foundation looked at, though but I can't afford it despite having a pretty decent and high experience required job. All the money is going to billionaires instead. Strange that those same billionaires are funding lots of media telling me to be afraid of people all the time... no relation to the whole immigration thing, I'm sure.

Just because we want people to come into our country legally and want to know their background doesn't make us racist.

and want to know their background

How much background checking do you think they do on someone from France vs. someone from Libya? Do you think it's an equal amount? (It is not.) Do you want it to be an equal amount?

NoSuchAgency ,

Yeah, I do, and obviously it's not the same now. These people are coming in by the millions and they're not doing background checks at all. They're doing background checks on the ones that are waiting to get here legally.

“These people” being the non-white ones.

If there are white people crossing the Southern border illegally it includes them to since you want to make everything about race although I don't see any white people crossing the Southern border

"I don't see white people crossing, but it's not about race." Gotcha.

You know how a lot of the white people enter illegally? They arrive on a plane and never leave. Like the majority of illegal immigrants.

So why is the Mexican border what concerns you?

NoSuchAgency ,

Because millions of people are coming over it, including rapist, thieves, and terrorists destroying whole communities on their way through

Just so you know now, you're getting really close to violating rule 4. Paraphrasing Trump is not helping you.

NoSuchAgency ,

I'm not paraphrasing anyone, I live near the border and I'm just calling it like I see it

NoSuchAgency ,

Btw, you're wrong. There are way more people coming across the Southern border than people over staying visas. It's not even close and at least we know who the people are that have over stayed their visa

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I literally showed you the numbers.

NoSuchAgency ,

Yeah, 700,000 in one year and out of those 600,000 remain. Like I said, not even close. We've had up to 250,000 in a month crossing the border illegally

How about you show actual numbers from a legitimate source of both visa overstays and illegal border crossings rather than just tell me what you think the number is?

NoSuchAgency ,

You're the one who posted the numbers on over stayed visas. I'm just telling you your article is just fake news because there are more coming across the border than that by a long shot. Here's some info on monthly numbers https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/02/15/migrant-encounters-at-the-us-mexico-border-hit-a-record-high-at-the-end-of-2023/

That says nothing about visa overstays. Or anything about visas at all.

But the fact that you use the term "fake news" really tells me all I need to know here.

NoSuchAgency ,

You posted the story saying that there were 600,000 over stayed visas in a years time claiming thats most of the illegals coming into the country. And yes, that's fake news because it's not true.

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And yet you have not shown it to be untrue.

But please do continue with your right-wing rhetoric.

InternetUser2012 ,

Source? Besides feelings and fox "news", or you just a troll?

NoSuchAgency ,

Here's one source for you, the border patrols own website https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters

afraid_of_zombies ,

Are these illegals with us now? Do they ever tell you to do things, things that might hurt people?

NoSuchAgency ,

What are you talking about?

afraid_of_zombies ,

Ask Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan to explain it to you.

NoSuchAgency ,

Andrew Tate? You sure you're replying to the right person? Dude, I think you're getting your messages mixed up or something
