Also a significant portion of illegal immigration happens through overstaying a visa, not through border crossings.
Also, Republicans don't distinguish between undocumented immigrants and refugees, because they intend to violate the nation's lawful treaty obligations with regards to the latter. Note that the victims of the DeSantis/Abbott felony human-trafficking operation have been refugees.
Republicans don't distinguish between undocumented immigrants and legal residents. Or between Mexico and the rest of central and south America.
They say "come here legally" and then when they do, the republicans are still mad.
Exactly very free cross over illegally. They get in legally on a work visa and then they stay. The Republican party knows this hell they condone it. 99% of the construction, and labor for farms would fail without them.
Just look how it worked out for Florida.
If they were serious about "getting rid of illegal immigration " they would go after the corporations and companies who hire them and the banks.
It just a scapegoat they can point to of why your wages suck. Not the fact that they refuse to up the wage for last 15 years nooo it is those pesky illegal taking all the good paying jobs. Oh and remember thier on welfare too.
Fucking Republican party thrives on hate.
Not even necessarily a work visa. Someone I know met their boyfriend in Mexico and they came back to the states together. He had a travel visa and then just never went back (or at least not for a long time, I've lost touch).
