Let's say 99% of illegals are just looking for a better life, are good people, want a job, and will end up paying taxes and eventually assimilating.

And let's say 1% are criminal psychopaths, which is the actual estimate in the general population. Assume for the sake of argument that the rate of psychopathy among illegals is no higher than that among U.S. citizens.

Almost 7.3 million illegals crossed the border just during the Biden administration, as of February, 2024.

7,300,000 x .01 = 73,000.

So we have 73,000 newly arrived criminally inclined psychopaths just in the past 3 years.

So the argument that illegals are simply looking to escape poverty and be accepted with open arms is technically correct 99% of the time, but doesn't hold water if you are trying to defend the idea that we should just let them all in. A process of vetting would weed out those with a violent criminal history, ties to terrorist organizations, or no discernible job skills meaning they'd just be a parasite.  Without control over who enters our country, we aren't a country; no point in even having borders.

China and Russia appear to be the only powers on the planet that pose any credible military threat to the US. The southern border presents a lower priority threat.

  "Military aged" is a meaningless scare phrase.   That cadre has been entering the US for work since the Mexican Revolution.

It's a disgrace.  Where's the media outrage and public outrage?

CR, after CR, after CR.  It will never stop. The control of the purse has been wrested away from the House and is currently in control of the Senate. Everything requires more spending and more Federal employees thus more spending.

  Our country doesn't have a revenue problem, we have an out of control spending problem

And how will that happen?  Can't build coal fired plants, no one wants to build nuclear plants due the amount of time involved, not to mention the cost.  Where will the generation come from?
