I can understand that, I think they are all half-agreeable. But I worry that makes them perfect for baiting votes, but purposely not doing anything, while blaming their opponents. I think they all seem good at a glance, but if you dig deeper or watch for long enough, they seem less and less so.

It's the "lets not build a fence/wall, but instead, we should fix the system!"

...that may have been do-able 20 years ago or more, but now we have a huge crisis and it is time to stop the crises, before talking of long-term soft-touch systematic fixes. Democrats' have massively overplayed this same tired political trick of a fake virtue a signalling position an unrealistic long term fix, to counter a practical and immediate fix by their opponents. It's just the logical fallacy of totality: "we aren't doing nothing, unless we fix the entire system!"...30 years later, they are still saying the same and blocking fixing the problem at all.

I think giving money to help the South American countries, which we have spend decades systematically looting, overthrowing their democracy, installing dictators, and destabilizing their government and economies....might have helped 20+ year ago. Yet, at this point, I don't think corruption and destabilization of countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are still the cause of this migration.

Instead, I think we've created a world-wide mass immigration, by destroyed the world economy (by destroying our own currency), destabilized worldwide food trade, and crushed the world energy market, just within just the last 3 years, with our proxy war against Russia using the dictator we installed in Ukrainian after overthrowing their democracy.

Many have been saying form quite a few years, that the purported climate change will cause mass worldwide migration. Right or wrong, it seems the disruption we caused with Ukraine and Russia may be a 100 fold faster and more effective than slow long term possible climate changes.

I don't know what the right number of visas is, but I am concerned that a country of this side would need to import skilled talent. Something is very very wrong with that. What happened to our own workforce? But I do agree that not holding employers criminally responsible for their funding of immigration deaths, by hiring illegal immigrants, is a large fundamental cause of the immigration problem in the US. Something is very strange about never holding them responsible.

I think the banning of Presidential involvement in protecting the borders and expansion of unchecked authority by these shifty corrupt and oversight-less DHS and other three letter agencies, is extremely danger on both parts. At least when Obama banned Muslims, he did it with the bipartisan support of Congress. It is a massive increase of unchecked centralized power. The government inside the government is the intelligence community. This is the un-elected government really in charge of our country and are manipulating it fully. Democracy died in the Early Obama days when he installed a cabal of intelligence into every branch of the DOJ, FBI, DHS, etc. They've been blackmailing, jailing, and censoring journalists, news stations, and communication platforms ever since. Unfortunately, these organizations were already largely infiltrated nationwide by foreign intelligence even before 9/11. Foreign countries control damn near every critical infrastructure in our country, through non-profit entities, which we foolishly (or maliciously) gave the keys to our whole country.

I don't think expanding Fourth Amendment violating searching at the boarder is good for anything. We can't catch things coming in our country now, in shipping ports, on planes, at the boarders, or even in the mail. Throwing cash at border agencies which are currently tearing down barbed wire and helping illegal aliens in the country, won't be able to catch anything either. They do explain that they need more money for bridges, so the illegal aliens can come in easier and safer, so we've got that to look forward to.

They specifically say the removal of technology is to protect privacy. That leaves us only to speculate, but this gives illegal aliens much more privacy protection that our citizens, who have their license plates and faces scanned daily without consent, in the massively abusive industry of data theft.

I'm not seeing anything really beneficial, but just another huge spending for a non-fix, with lots of room for embezzlement, misuse, and funding the continued efforts to increase of illegal immigration....but every year it seems my pessimism about this country's leadership grows. I've likely become a full out cynic by now, then clicking Cloudflare check-boxes for an hour perturbed me even more.
