Under Biden, funding for ICE has increased, and we have deported more immigrants than Trump during his first two years when the GOP controlled all three branches of government.

The "border crisis" which manifests magically around every election is a manufactured crisis.

The vast majority of undocumented immigrants in the USA entered legally and overstayed their Visas. They contribute dramatically to the economy and our construction, service, and agricultural industries absolutely depend on them.

In TX, where anti-immigrant bigotry is fervent, they pay the same state taxes as a citizen. Sales tax and property tax apply to everyone regardless of citizenship and that's what we use.

There are still a massive number of jobs open in the industries I mentioned, we need immigrants to fill those jobs.

It seems like conservatives are even against legal immigration now.
