Every time legislation is proposed to fixed the current legal immigration systems, Dems insist on amnesty for those already in the country.
*except for the bipartisan legislation most recently proposed
Republicans TANK $118B border security package
A bipartisan border security deal fell apart in the Senate Wednesday as predicted after conservative Republicans trashed a compromise package.
We’re talking about legislation for the legal system. Keep up. The legal system is broken too.
so...the proposed bipartisan legislation wasn't for the legal immigration system?
the bill that would have increased border patrol and immigration judges, reformed how asylum claims were processed, provided more facilities for housing asylum claims...that wasn't for the legal immigration system?
No it wasn’t, so go back to the drawing board and stop making a fool out of yourself.
When congress won't act...
Trump turned down a bipartisan deal and the current repubs (under orders from Trump) killed the last bipartisan deal.
Yes I know. I also know when Biden entered the Oval Office he reversed all of Trump’s EAs about the border, and we went through three and a half years of this bullshit. Stop blaming republicans for what this man did.

What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.
The unauthorized immigrant population in the United States reached 10.5 million in 2021, according to new Pew Research Center estimates. That was a modest increase over 2019 but nearly identical to 2017.
The U.S. foreign-born population was 14.1% of the nation’s population in 2021. That was very slightly higher than in the last five years but below the record high of 14.8% in 1890.
Between 2007 and 2021, the unauthorized immigrant population decreased by 1.75 million, or 14%.
Meanwhile, the lawful immigrant population grew by more than 8 million, a 29% increase, and the number of naturalized U.S. citizens grew by 49%. In 2021, naturalized citizens accounted for about half (49%) of all immigrants in the country.
The number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico living in the U.S. (4.1 million in 2021) was the lowest since the 1990s. Mexico accounted for 39% of the nation’s unauthorized immigrants in 2021, by far the smallest share on record.
