And bigger yet: How many people do we want in the USA? Do we want more or less people? How soon do we want to hit that number? How many, if any, additional kids do we want from existing children?
And why don’t we discuss this intelligently?
Worse, if you allow this 'caravan' of the 'oppressed' to freely enter than how do you say no to the next one, and the one after that and after that? Let this bunch in and you have declared an open border policy, make no mistake. The USA doesn't even pay its own bills and hasn't for a long time, we borrow money and when that falls short we quietly digitally create some more. So who pays? Everyone gets hit by the bite of inflation that comes from the tax/borrow/create and then spend+spend+spend strategy!
