BILLIONS. No amount of Latina music or 'love' makes up for that. WE CAN NOT AFFORD THEM.

Short Story Fiction is on another forum. I think you're confused a little bit.
Ok, sure! You must be a Texan! I am curious though, how do YOU think these new laws will be enforced? Just how exactly is a state trooper going to determine whether someone is an "illegal" or not? Can you describe what an "illegal" looks like? What specific behaviors do "illegals" exhibit that would make them easy to target? Is there a field "legality" test they can administer?
I can take this one. When a person walks up the bank from the Rio Grande, it's a really good chance then are illegal. If you ask them for ID, and they can't produce proof they are Americans, they need to be arrested. Are you aware that crossing the border without going to a legal point of entry is against the law?
So because there's a "good chance" that a Mexican near the border is illegal, all Mexicans near the border are going to be asked for ID? What happens if they aren't near the border? If the assumption is illegals all hang out near the border after crossing it, then why does the whole state need new laws? Sounds like it's going to turn into a guilty until proven innocent, kinda a "driving while Mexican" as a reason to pull someone over thing.
Yes, I am well aware that not only crossing the border anywhere but approved and regulated security checkpoints, and crossing without documentation is illegal. Why pass more laws? To pander to your base, that's why.

....and completely ignores asylum laws.
Asylum laws don't seem to be working all that great.

"Alia tentanda via est."
Right. BAMN: By any means possible
This really isn't Biden's problem, though. This is Congress' responsibility. Congress needs to change the laws, if need be. President Trump was lucky, in that he had a global health emergency that he could use to close the borders, but the pandemic is behind us now. Time for Congress to do their job, and not depend on Presidential Executive Orders to do it for them.

If I hated brown people I wouldn't have adopted my daughter from an orphanage in Bolivia. In the Summer she's darker than the black people in my neighborhood. You playing the racism card is lame.

This is very simple .. the American taxpayer simply can not afford to take care of everyone. It's just that simple. Wide open borders is breaking the bank and if it's allowed to continue, there will be no USA anymore.
We have immigration laws but this administration has ignored them every chance they get.

Why Bolivia? You couldn't find a worthy brown child in the USA to adopt?
Racism goes deeper than the color of one's skin, as you have just demonstrated in your post.

You're blaming Mayorkas for Congress' inaction and spinelessness.

For example. Please be specific in your examples of how the feds are ignoring federal law at the border.
They are a group who's job it was to keep illegals from entering illegally. Currently, the Biden administration is doing everything in it's power to make them process illegals and turn them into the country, which is exactly what they wanted.
Now if your argument that the Asylum laws are piss poor and need to be fixed, I totally agree. But until then, we need to stop the flow, now.

Oh, so you think Due Process is the problem. Is Biden the first US President to use Due Process before deporting illegals? What did Reagan do? What did the 2 Georges B do?

How? By an illegal executive order? Maybe Biden could manufacture another health emergency and lock down the border that way!
Or, maybe we could blame Congress, and demand they do their job, instead of using the problem as an election cudgel every 2 years.
There is nothing racist in my post. I stated a fact.
We didn't search out a child because of skin color. We chose Bolivia because my husband and I were both over 35 and adoption agencies in Alabama where we lived were not adopting to people that old at that time.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection data indicates that Border Patrol apprehended 172,331 migrants in March. 48,587 of the undocumented individuals were unaccompanied migrant children
But you are aware that we have laws on the books right this very second that makes crossing in non approved spots illegal right?
