It's unfortunate nearly all online social media discourse has bifurcated between left and right. Bluesky is filed with fringe leftists and, frankly, losers. Dorsey created a second social media app, largely the same as twitter, with largely the same echo chamber.
The kneejerk explanation would be the more strict border and law enforcement under the current administration. But the chart peaks in Dec 2023 and drops in 2024, so it cannot be that.
Perhaps, then, it was Kamala Harris' success as border czar under Biden.
This is suicidal empathy. Mercy for the guilty is cruelty for the innocent.
I think it's cruel and inhumane to let millions unvetted into our neighborhoods, schools, and communities.
It means less jobs for American young people. It means loss of culture and shared spaces. It means your kids can't play with their neighbors because they don't speak the same language.
It's weakness and we need to stop rationalizing it.
Would you want these people as your neighbor? Not speaking English? How about your whole town?
It's cruel. The modern left does not care about Americans, only the foreigners who can't build a safe and prosperous country of their own.
They are still deportable crimes. You cannot walk into a country and never leave just "because".
And no, the vast majority are not overstays. Less than half are overstays that came here legally [0]. So 58% crossed the border illegally.
Asylum seekers have been coached on what to say to claim asylum. Few are seeking asylum at all. The system is obviously being abused when these people vacation back to their home country that was so "dangerous" they claimed asylum.
Some say unfortunate, others say fortunate. It's a luxury belief to want to let people walk across the border and have no repercussions. Enforce the border, get all the illegals out.
