Don't worry, when Trump gets in, he'll build the wall and stop them!
None of those countries have invented ladder technology yet, right?

He’s since upgraded his threats to National Guard use and mass deportation.
Cool. Enjoy losing all of your agribusiness as crops go unharvested, southern states.
Don't worry, they'll just blame it on Democrats, as usual.
Or the trusty ol' "people just don't want to work"
We just don’t want to be exploited. I don’t mind the work so long as I’m being paid fairly for it.

Wasn't that already an issue in Florida last year?
Glad to see all those people who screamed about immigrants taking their jobs are lined up to work.
While heavily penalizing and arresting busines owners who hire these illegals, right? Right?
Republicans aren’t really keen on regulating the free market. He even enacted a “one in two out” Executive Order that mandated for every regulation added, two more had to be removed.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
And our broken immigration system fails these people time and time again.
Yeah, even Homeland Security acknowledges it too:
“Fundamentally, our system is not equipped to deal with migration as it exists now, not just this year and last year and the year before, but for years preceding us,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in an interview with NBC News. “We have a system that was last modified in 1996. We’re in 2024 now. The world has changed.”
But guess who in Congress don’t want to change that?
The position of Mayorkas and the Biden administration is that these problems can only be meaningfully addressed by a congressional overhaul of the immigration system, such as the one proposed in February in a now defunct bipartisan Senate bill.
“We cannot process these individuals through immigration enforcement proceedings very quickly — it actually takes sometimes more than seven years,” Mayorkas told NBC News. “The proposed bipartisan legislation would reduce that seven-plus-year waiting period to sometimes less than 90 days. That’s transformative.”
Now, after a hard-negotiated bipartisan Senate compromise bill has been released, Republicans are either vowing to block it or declaring it "dead on arrival," in the words of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Republicans in Congress have been manufacturing the border crisis for a long time now. They know that naturalized immigrants statistically vote Democrat, and can affect census data prior to naturalization. The president can’t enact immigration reform with an Executive Order, only control the flow at the border. So a Democrat President opens the border, to be used as designed, in order to rely on our immigration system. Our systemic failures cause overflow in border and sanctuary cities, putting pressure on the President to detain or turn away by Executive Order, and the cycle repeats.
A few weeks ago I watched a pretty good docu-series that touched on this. At one point they're just sifting through torn up passports and abandoned foreign currency from as far as China that was just abandoned on the other side of the border.
Basically it consist of interviews with people involved from different perspectives locals, migrants, coyotes, and sheriffs to name a few. Definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in the topic.
