I was eating at a restaurant and they had Faux news on (I know it sucks and hate that we have to see that garbage)

They were discussing the border and they claim that over 1.5 million people are trying to cross into the US from 150 plus other countries. Knowing how they can be so full of shit hard to imagine that being true.

But it did get me wondering there is a lot of people trying to cross and the ariel shots I seen If true we are talking about thousands trying to flee into the states.

Instead of trying to stop them from crossing why are we not addressing the cause? How come we aren’t maybe trying to see if we can solve the problem that causing them from running away from their homes?

I am sure America is probably responsible for some of that turmoil so why we not discussing that and fixing our mess instead of trying pass bills closing our boarders?

Also on a side note sick of all the fucking mega fucks and racist rednecks throwing fits about the boarder. Unless your native American we all fucking immigrants. Especially all the caucuses.

Just why are we allowing this to cause us to almost on the brink of a civil war. Bad enough that we locking these people in cages. That something the Biden administration should have ended on day one of his administration.

So what could we be doing to fix this problem?

    There are at least two international organizations whose purpose is to deal with immigration and/or it’s root causes here in the Americas. The United States does do work to address immigration and it’s root causes.

    However, one party benefits from the chaos and fear that comes from a “border crisis.” Trump was recently in the news for trying to sway republicans to kill a border policy, because it would look good for Biden. (Just an example of how we don’t all necessarily want immigration to be ‘fixed’.) Unless we can remove conservatives from power, there will always be immigration issues.
