not ignoring any immigration laws.

Illegal immigration had already increased to a 21-year high before
Biden entered office.

Biden immediately started increasing expulsions from his first day in office.

Biden tripled interior detention and increased border detention 12-fold.

Biden increased air removal flights by 55 percent over 2020 levels.

Biden negotiated broader expulsion deals with foreign countries than Trump.

Biden got many foreign countries to carry out crackdowns on illegal and legal migration.

Biden removed or expelled 3.3 million border crossers—three times as many as Trump.

Biden even managed to remove a similar percentage of crossers as Trump’s four years.

Quote by Joe Biden on the campaign trail in August of 2019 encouraging aliens to break US immigration laws.

Instead of spending so much time and money keeping them out, should we reform the system and make it easier for them to come here legally (while still keeping out the illegal ones)?

The immigration courts have 3,195,137 active cases pending

Immigration can be very expensive. My friend brought in her husband but it cost them 20,000 when all was said and done

Current laws allow for that to happen.

Millions of immigrants have come to the US legally. We need immigrants who understand and respect our existing laws.

Current laws allow for that.

I would not be surprised if there were quite a number of bred
and born in America Americans who do not understand and
respect our laws, but you got to admit, we’ve got so many
laws that not even the law peddlers know them all.
