The Cost of Inaction on Immigration

Quote

It is difficult to find an issue that more exemplifies the dysfunction of American government today than immigration.

In the past year, more than a million people have entered the United States through the southern border, overflowing shelters and straining public services. Most of the newcomers claim asylum, a status that allows them to be in the country legally but leaves them in limbo. They often must wait years for their cases to be heard, and it can be a lengthy process to obtain legal permission to work.

This nation has long drawn strength from immigration, and providing asylum is an important expression of America’s national values. But Congress has failed to provide the necessary resources to welcome those who are eligible and to turn away those who are not. Instead, overwhelmed immigration officials allow nearly everyone to stay temporarily, imposing enormous short-term costs on states and cities that the federal government hasn’t done enough to mitigate.

Vice President Kamala Harris and others have correctly identified corruption and instability in Central and South America as reasons many people continue to flee their homes, and the United States should do what it can to help countries with these challenges. But that is not an answer to the disruption that this recent wave of people is causing in American communities right now.

The federal government’s negligence is fueling anger against immigrants and stoking divisions. The question is whether Congress, mired in dysfunction, can stir itself to enact sensible changes so the nation can reap the benefits of immigration.

The White House is limited in the actions it can take; Mr. Biden may have exhausted what he can do through his executive authority. Until Congress decides to take meaningful action, America will continue to pay a price. 

Of course, right wingers here continually LIE about it being the POTUS's fault, while ignoring that Congressional Republicans would rather have THE ISSUE than A SOLUTION. ?

LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT TRUMP required legitimate asylum seekers to REMAIN IN MEXICO to wait for their case to come up. That was reasonable.

Unelected Joe rescinded that order and invited THESE animals to come.

If you somehow think ALL of these animals are somehow legitimate asylum seekers, you are DANGEROUSLY STUPID.

It’s coming? Really?  Fck, Trump only had four years to introduce it. The GOP’s had Congress two years, no bills.  You’re pretty gullible thinking your party wants to pass effective laws which would make it easier to stop and return illegal immigrants.  Cause they’ve had a long time to do it.
