The people who are afraid of other colored people need to shut their traps.  Taking control means promoting positive immigration law so people wouldn't need to move here ilegally.  Then the country can start to take advantage of the influx of potential tax payers.
Republicans don’t want to fix the border. They want to make a show and blame Democrats for the border. After 30 years of complaining about the border Republicans have made no attempts at comprehensive reforms that could address illegal immigration. They just want performative politics to campaign on. >

How to solve illegal immigration in one easy step: fine anyone who hires illegal immigrants.
And yet they never will. Why? Because they want cheap near slave-like labor, not an end to immigration. >

Huh I had not heard of this, interesting.
Went exactly as you’d expect and shows why this will never become a thing. “An attack on entrepreneurship” they call it in the article haha.
They need it to be legal to hire illegal immigrants because they’re slaves with no rights it’s that simple. >

I know an older gentleman that was complaining about how communities in the Midwest are dying out. Younger people leave and never come back. Old people stay and then die off. His only fix for it is to stop abortion. I asked him why not let immigrants in legally to the country to move into those communities so they could grow again. He gave me a death glare and said no. >

"Young people are leaving our state! Surely making it illegal for them to get abortions will solve the problem!"
Sounds about right for Republican problem solving: no matter what the problem looks like, the solution has got to be one of the christofascist policies I've already decided on. >

Best and about the only way to get people into their churches is for them to be born into and brainwashed into staying. Many "loving" sects of Christianity mandate that if you leave your family MUST turn their backs on you forever.
I know one lady that doesn't like what her church is teaching but she won't leave cause she likes her friends in the church and she thinks that is the only reason they are friends with her. >

“It is clear that House Republicans are more interested in staging political stunts than on rolling up their sleeves to work with President Biden and Democrats in Congress on legislation to strengthen border security and fix our immigration system that has needed repair for decades,” Sams wrote in the memo. “But beyond their refusal to work constructively to pursue concrete solutions, they and their allies in the states are actually pushing an agenda that would make things worse at the border.” >

I caught some of that too. It was absolutely maddening. Like arguing with a toddler. >

Have you watched the hearing? The actual agents speaking! Or do you think they are lying.
