Vice President Harris is going to have a real task deprogramming Congress from years of propaganda.

From what I have read about the southern border, it is a humanitarian crisis alone. There is no one storming the border, at least not yet. If Russia has it's way that may become a reality someday.

At least 70 percent of the adults coming to the border are being returned to their home countries where there is an asylum application process. The only people being accepted into the USA from the southern border are pregnant women and unaccompanied minors to the age of 17.

The politics surrounding the USA southern border has been cultivated for the past four years and the idea that the border is an open crossing is a lie.

The people coming north from the countries below our southern border are very misinformed. The USA, especially Texas, is not the place to take refuge. Dr. Fauci is correct there is still an increase in COVID-19 cases in 21 states in the country. There are also Americans unwilling to take the vaccine. The USA isn't even close to herd immunity as only 25 percent of Americans have received their first shot and a portion of that, approximately half, have received their second shot.

Texas has been through enormous tragedy and sincerely needs to correct the path. That is not conducive to illegal immigrants crossing the border. Texas has a significant history of not only allowing illegal immigration but, fostering it to provide a cheap workforce. So, any objection by the politicians is all show and not substance. Using those immigrants as television fodder is just wrong. Those folks are grossly misinformed, need to go home and apply for asylum properly.

The idea that southern states do not want illegal immigrants is a lie. The idea the southern border states want to end illegal immigration only manifested politically in the recent decades by the Republicans. Their change in politics started when President George W. Bush wanted to pass immigration reform. The Republicans in Congress opposed him. At that point, immigration reform is something Democrats want and not part of the Republican Party rhetoric.

There is a strong history of cheap labor (work Americans won't do because of cheap pay) in Texas using illegal immigrants.

...Within the lifetime (click here) of a few Texan old timers the state has surged from about three million inhabitants (1900) to well over 18 million and it is still growing rapidly. Texans are rightfully proud that the state is attractive to newcomers, but as conditions in the state change, so too do the benefits and costs of continued rapid growth.

The components of population growth are fertility, mortality and immigration. This study is not about mortality or fertility, although it notes that a decrease in immigration from abroad would not, by itself, be sufficient to stabilize population size. Rather the focus is on immigration and how it has contributed to change in Texas' population and what the prospects are for the future, if current trends continue....

Vice President Harris is perfectly suited for the diplomatic initiative that will return the order to the southern border and stop the chaotic and misinformed migrating people.
