LOL Doesn't encounters essentially mean people crossing or trying to cross? Which has nothing to do with the president or our country's policies but everything to do with the climate in the countries they're coming from? 2 1 2 Link to comment

Funny of course, because we have soooooo many Americans that hate America and think it sucks...but this is the most amazing country in the world. Other countries, with the exception of a few, have REAL problems. Most of us have no idea, because we are lucky, which is great. I am first generation, my brother in law is an immigrant. I sort of 'get it" he REALLY "gets it"... Most of us, don't get it all. Yet, we still b!^@h. 1 1 Link to comment

Administrative Encounter: An encounter of an inadmissible noncitizen in which removal proceedings are not considered, including certain withdrawn applications for admission in cases prior to FY 2024 in which expedited removal or other immigration proceedings were not considered, foreign crew members without entry visas who are required to remain aboard their ships, and persons paroled into the United States and released from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations (OFO) custody without being placed into removal proceedings.

That wouldn’t be true at all. If you foster a climate of come on in, you will get processed and released, hope to see you at the court date. BTW…..here’s everything you need in the meantime, people from other countries get the picture it’s quite easy to pass through illegally with little repercussion. 1 1 Link to comment

Moiraine Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 There is a very strong correlation between job openings and border encounters, and post pandemic there is a much bigger gap between wages in the source country and the U.S. Link to comment
Decked Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 If only we could make it easier to become a citizen the legal way. Better hope that investing in Central America post a China led manufacturing world will better stabilize populations in those countries. 3 Link to comment

Unsustainable is the number of Boomers that die/ leave the workforce on a daily basis. Every Boomer that dies is one more hole in the economy, one less buyer of goods, one less consumer to pay into the US economic system. Every Boomer that retires is one more hole in staff that won't be filled. We simply have not reproduced at a rate to maintain our economic growth engine, either through consumer demand, or producers of goods. This is why businesses are going to subscription business models. Then they are essentially selling the same good to the same customer every year. But, not all businesses can do that either. Without immigrants our economy, as we know it, will not survive. 1 Link to comment

Without immigrants our economy, as we know it, will not survive. There is no way to sustain growth in our economy without robust immigration. There simply isn't the people here to employ to sustain it. 1 Link to comment
