Fuck Montenegro, fuck Sweden, fuck Russia. This is the United States of America. Those bullshit countries can do whatever they want, but this is the shining city on the hill. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! πŸ—½πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

Okay, but when the tempest-tost get here, they have to come in legally. We need to work on that process - it's been intentionally hamstrung to frustrate both parties and immigrants. So let's fix it. But we can't simply leave the velvet rope unchecked in the meantime.

Oh, and don't say mean things about Sweden.

So, again, why not declare the national emergency and issue an executive order that makes it easier to immigrate legally?

Why is the default always to make immigration harder?

AND, if the country REALLY wanted to stop illegal immigration, law enforcement would go after the criminal employers breaking the law by hiring them. No employers, no jobs, no illegal immigration. Easy peasy. And why not? Because America needs their labor. However it is always preferable to kick down than up, amirite?
