I was eating at a restaurant and they had Faux news on (I know it sucks and hate that we have to see that garbage)
They were discussing the border and they claim that over 1.5 million people are trying to cross into the US from 150 plus other countries. Knowing how they can be so full of shit hard to imagine that being true.
But it did get me wondering there is a lot of people trying to cross and the ariel shots I seen If true we are talking about thousands trying to flee into the states.
Instead of trying to stop them from crossing why are we not addressing the cause? How come we aren’t maybe trying to see if we can solve the problem that causing them from running away from their homes?
I am sure America is probably responsible for some of that turmoil so why we not discussing that and fixing our mess instead of trying pass bills closing our boarders?
Also on a side note sick of all the fucking mega fucks and racist rednecks throwing fits about the boarder. Unless your native American we all fucking immigrants. Especially all the caucuses.
Just why are we allowing this to cause us to almost on the brink of a civil war. Bad enough that we locking these people in cages. That something the Biden administration should have ended on day one of his administration.
So what could we be doing to fix this problem?
It is not America’s responsibility to fix all the world’s problems. We have enough or our own that we can’t fix.
We caused, indirectly or even directly, many of the causes that people are trying flee from in their home countries in Latin america.
The vast majority of them are trying to flee gang violence.
If we weren’t actively fucking with other countries, I might agree with you. But we do that to keep prices down, and this is the consequence.
Then how about direct self-interest? If it reduces illegal immigration, at the source, for “cheaper” (and less human suffering), why wouldn’t we?
Obviously there’s also a bad history of intervention but if this focuses on helping the economies of some of these countries, such as by encouraging more trade, we’ll get a lot farther. Everyone will profit, and those heading north for economic reasons will no longer have that incentive
