The border wall. But it should be further reinforced. People can't just enter the country illegally.

They don't though. It's not illegal to seek asylum.
I actually want to be educated here, because my stance is that there should be a road to cheap and speedy citizenship, and that immigrants should assimilate into the system.
My gut says that seeking asylum isn't paying for someone to smuggle you over the boarder. It would require you going through an actual boarder checkpoint where you would do the paperwork to enter the country as a refugee.
I know Republicans are assholes who have been obstructing that, but my gut tells me there is the legal way of entering the country and the illegal one.
Hiding in the back of a pickup truck and buying a fake Juan Martinez social security card doesn't feel like asylum seeking, it feels illegal.
For context, I invoke the fake Juan Martinez social security card because when I worked at the Arizona Department of Education, there were at least 3000 Juan Martinezes with the same social security number attending Arizona public education, which I thought was HORRIBLE and extremely dehumanizing to those children, and it wasn't the US government that did that. It was the coyotes and parents illegally immigrating that did that.
Edit: to be crystal clear, Hegar is a fucking moron.
America is fundamentally broken.
Almost straight up shattered.
I seek the balance between "how it should be" and "how it is", and if that isn't the conversation. If the conversation is "imma just do it", from EITHER END, I get pissed at grownups acting like babies.

Johnny Depp did a great scene that covers this in Blow.
Go on thinking rules don't apply to you.
It has really been working out for countries south of the U.S.
The inflation reduction act is probably the most significant piece of climate change policy in American history and is expected to bring emissions to a little under half 2005 levels.
Also, I think it capped insulin prices at $35 a month? That was the hope anyway.
I'll be paying 380 ish bucks for insulin this coming month, only using my "good, professional job" type insurance to cover some of the cost. It's around 200/mo. Cheaper to buy from Walmart directly without insurance than it is to process it through it at my required pharmacy. I don't know if the insulin caps have taken effect, or if I don't qualify, all I know is I'm getting screwed because I'm alive and want to stay that way.
The rest of the policy seems cool, but won't be if it pans out like the insulin crap.
