America's greatness and exceptionalism are under attack. This Blog provides a forum of published views that discuss solutions to our Country’s problems – solutions ignored by our government leaders and rarely addressed by the media. Its focus is on the travesties of 1) government debt and corporate welfare; 2) unwarranted disdain for America’s producers; 3) our failing public school system – a poverty trap; 4) our declining world leadership position; 5) disrespect for our military.

We need more, not less immigration to help our businesses and economy grow and prosper. There is a labor shortage across all kinds of jobs, especially unskilled labor. Let them in so they can work, pay taxes and help us prosper! https://www.oecd.org/migration/OECD%20Migration%20Policy%20Debates%20Numero%202.pdf
Instead they "came" but with their hands out for freebies....costing us millions of dollars for nothing in return!
Why is it right wing elite bloggers can't tell the whole truth?
While Biden in 2019 did say to those people "seeking asylum", "That’s who we are. We’re a nation that says, ‘If you want to flee and you’re fleeing oppression, you should come." but that is so much less inviting than right wing elites (politicians and bloviators) from the left behind places who beginning with Biden's election repeated lied that "the border is now open" (because of Biden) when is and was never open. In fact, immigration detention initially soared under the Biden administration and while correlation is not causation, it seems to me to be caused by the "open border" lie by right wing extremists.
As to the alleged "freebies" costing us "millions" for nothing in return, the biggest freebie for undocumented immigrants is the free education of their children which is paid back many times over their lifetime. A precise cost is nearly impossible to ascertain, many experts said. That's in part because undocumented immigrants operate within the shadows, leaving their full fiscal contributions — and use of taxpayer-funded resources — at least somewhat unknown, see: Fact check: How much does illegal immigration cost America? Not nearly as much as Trump claims..
