The USA military has warned civilian leaders for decades the climate crisis would cause problems at the USA borders. It is time to stop the generosity of our country beyond its capacity to absorb migrants seeking help and shelter. The responsibility for these migrants belong to their homelands.
It is impossible to possess legitimate claims of asylum when the immigration courts are so backed up. There has to be a limit to the number of people the USA can bring into the country’s borders.
It was a regular trek to the USA from the northern triad. To that reality the USA sent help to those three countries to create jobs, secure an economy, and contain the drug cartels. Those policies worked for a long time and curtailed illegal immigration at the USA southern border. Those policies were ended by the Trump administration and as a result there has been a resurgence of those immigrants.
Today, the USA is facing a far different demographic at the country’s southern border. The people illegally crossing that border are from all corners of the world and not just allies. The USA is a very attractive safe haven for the impoverished and oppressed people. The USA cannot take care of 8 billion people in the world.
The limits set by President Biden appear realistic. What needs to happen next is for Congress to pass effective immigration reform. Migrants have always been a great asset for the USA. This executive order does not prevent immigration, but, takes seriously the advisors to President Biden in treating our borders as a national security issue.
