Your article is entirely an exercise in supposition and conjecture. It is a "hope" that things will go well . . . whatever "well" is supposed to be. It is a cluster of the kinds of compassionate and hopeful policies that have not solved the problem of millions of illegal crossings before and under which those crossings continued and grew larger. It actually makes millions of illegal "migrants" out to be desirable.

The article I posted had actual numbers of illegals crossing now, which if continued would result in millions more. We are restricted to wearing masks and social distancing, but it's OK to encourage untested millions from high Covid frequency areas to cross over in super spreader groups and roam through the country at will. And if the Remain in Mexico policy is abandoned, the numbers will go dramatically up.

As has been mentioned several times on the forum, if we want to import needed immigrants, we can do so sanely by accepting legal, vetted, immigrants from various parts of the world. Encouraging mass, illegal, unvetted, migration from a small and backward part of the world, especially in massive numbers before previous ones have totally assimilated, is a horrible way to do it.

Are you in favor of encouraging those flows of caravans that we were having and are now making a comeback? Do you think we actually need them?
