    So y’all don’t see a connection with overwhelmed local community infrastructure, the lack of affordable housing, not investing in enough in schools and healthcare, and a tidal wave of immigrants at ridiculously high levels?

    No. I don’t.

    The problem is not immigrants.

    The problem is a broken government system that fails to allocate resources effectively.

    The problem is whole ass political parties are incentivized to keep the system broken so they can blame immigrants and leftists/liberals and get votes.

    I mean, if you make it illegal for an undocumented immigrant to get a driver’s license, you don’t get to complain that undocumented immigrants are driving without licenses. If you make it illegal for undocumented immigrants to work legal jobs, you can’t complain that undocumented immigrants are working under the table for sketchy employers at shit wages. You know?

      There’s only so many resources, no country can take millions of people in a single year and ramp up quickly enough to handle them.
