When we see families or mainly women and children coming in, that’s not for work, that’s for humanitarian reasons, aka, all the other **** I listed above.

Re: the lack of meat processing plant workers, traditionally, most have been undocumented for decades, hence one reason all our food in this country is artificially cheaper than it should be. If companies are now not hiring illegals bc of increased ice enforcement or lack of bodies, then prices will go up.

The answer to the illegal immigration problem from Central America is for us to invest in our neighbors to the south. We played a big role in destabilizing that part of the world thru clandestine ops, (Iran contra anyone). We are now in part reaping what we sowed. Plus, ethically, it’s the right thing to do and our US companies will profit, and therefore so will me and anyone else who invests. And, we need to counter growing Chinese and Russian influence in that area, we have always treated south and Central America as a foreign policy afterthought, wr need to fix that.
