In reply to the discussion: What should our border/migrant stance be? [View all]brush
(61,033 posts)one is that living conditions are not good for millions in countries south of our border so of course people come here for a better life. Another reason is that though many pols, mostly republicans, complain endlessly, they don't really come up with viable, permanent plans because immigrant labor is needed in agriculture, construction and other sectors so the constant complaining is somewhat of a pantomime and a cudgel to wield against Democrats to help win elections.
How long has the problem existed? For how many decades, many, and many, like I said, don't really want it to get solved as it's too useful a political tool to highlight the visual of mile-long parades of immigrant hordes invading out southern border. Why it's political gold to rile up the maga hordes opposing the immigrant hordes. The hordes kinda balance each other out as one hord approached from the south to pick our fruits and vegetables that the low-info, maga hordes already eat daily but have no idea how that food gets on their table.
So the situation never gets resolved because pols on the right don't really want it resolved.
