   Now might be a good time for the old timers on the site to freshen up on the difference between things like admission, denial of entry, removal and deportation. It will make for better discussion down the road.

Every legal immigrant should be against giving amnesty and a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. It would probably be a monumental task to deport 10 million people. How about strong vetting and getting them into the system with a path to LPR? No citizenship, no right to vote, that way neither party will benefit.  And no chain immigration.

You know it is at least double that number right? As to the other parts of your statement they sound fine but you know that it would never fly at all. The Republicans would think that the Democrats are doing something dirty and want tighter border security, and the Democrats would want a pathway if not a general amnesty for everyone with no border security.

Not to worry,the Mexico funded wall is in place to halt immigration.

That is one of the things I wish Trump could have done. He could have taxed all remittances abroad in order to help pay for new additions to the border wall and to maintain it

Edit: It will all depend on where the caravan decides to go. The last one decided to go the long way to up around Tijuana

There is still one day left, we may see the wall and the Healthcare plan.

Since Democrats specifically want this demographic for votes, they should all be deported, even if it means spending more to find, apprehend, and go through the process of deportation to get rid of them. Any "caravans" trying to rush the border and institute an invasion should be put down. The people paying for the cost of it all should be Biden and Democrats (along with a good portion of Republicans) who keep inviting illegal immigration.

I am fascinated to see what will happen, a couple of times this has sort of come up in conversation and I have dropped into some of the Dem pledges, now these are Dem voters and they seemed completely unaware of what they had voted for.

 

I think we can over concentrate on the Caravans, just the tip. There was one lady on another forum who wanted her sister to move to the US with her 2 children, abusive relationship, wait 15 years or pop over and claim asylum? Both are from the UK, sister had naturalised.

 

My guess is that Biden is used to saying anything to appease those who he sees as his voters and then ignoring it when in power, that will be difficult, I can see his feet being held to the fire.

So says an acquaintance of mine:  The caravanners should be vetted (and have to answer in at least broken English), be given thorough medical and dental examinations that they must pass in all aspects, fill out their own entry application properly without help from anybody, and have skills to offer the U.S. beyond landscaping, construction, housekeeping, and nannying.  They should pay an application fee and wait for processing (in Mexico) while USCIS processes its backlog of legal-immigration applications first.  When USCIS has finished with all legal applications, it will be their turn.

I should have made myself a bit clearer. I was referring to those illegal immigrants already here. I don’t think the caravan should be let in.

This seems very reasonable, especially the bit about them all waiting their turn.  Those of us who have been gummed up in the system due to COVID would feel pretty jaded if these people all got a free pass into the US for just showing up at the southern boarder saying let me in.....

What halted (actually slowed) illegal immigration from Mexico was Trump cutting a deal with the Mexican president that if Mexico stopped all the caravans that were coming up here previously, then the US wouldn't list Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.  Seems to have worked since illegal immigration through Mexico has dropped significantly.  With Trump leaving office, who knows if this deal will remain in affect during the Biden admin.
