Well, that would be a stupid take away Dan. To start with the problem we’re


having is mostly legal immigration. People coming to our borders, escaping intolerable conditions in their country and applying for asylum as refugees. Our laws allow that. Our laws don’t set any limit on how many can come. And unfortunately, our infrastructure, which is paid for with congressional funding, cannot handle the volume of people coming. these people are either coming to Port of entry, or in some cases between ports of entry where they are being picked up because they’re coming in large numbers, they’re very visible.
Congress needs to fund appropriate infrastructure at the border. The Biden administration has actually taken steps to tighten the criteria for people from certain countries to apply for a refugee status.
