about new laws being passed when all the government has to do is enforce existing laws. WASHINGTON ― Amid threats from the far right to his job, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Friday will appear with presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at his ritzy Florida estate to promote a bill banning noncitizens from voting ― something that is already illegal.
Congress in 1996 passed a law banning noncitizens from voting in federal elections, though a few states allow noncitizens to vote in local elections only. And despite Trump’s fearmongering about migrants entering the U.S. to vote illegally, there’s virtually no evidence of noncitizen voting. Johnson’s event with Trump on Friday ― which Johnson asked for ― is better viewed in the context of threats to his speakership from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and other far-right House Republicans. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-mike-johnson_n_661925dbe4b000ed88edadec

That doesn’t mean that our government should not continually update and improve our laws

He went down there to ward off a vote to oust him by Marge T Green.

How do you prove your citizenship? I have a passport and a birth certificate which presumably proves my citizenship, but a clumsy idea.

Immigration reform is a very contentious issue that needs to be addressed If only there had been a bipartisan deal on the table. Who can even remember what piece of traitorous orange America hating shit killed it to harm the country for his petty political gain? Texas Representative Troy Nehls showed his true colors on Wednesday, refusing to back any sort of border deal because he claimed it could help President Joe Biden’s slumping poll numbers. “Let me tell you, I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating,” the MAGA Republican told CNN.newrepublic.com/post/177876/house-republican-admits-wont-back-border-bill-help-biden

Allowing 5000+ illegals into the country every week is not a “deal”. It is a surrender.
Damn. Set up a review and vetting board with the money that we are supporting the illegals with and cultivate and encourage LEGAL immigration. The key word is LEGAL.

Is it possible that with all the economic turmoil and authoritarian (communist) governments in central and south America that there's a great incentive for people to try to get to the US? Add to that the illegals coming from Africa, middle east, and Asia it would seem that 5000 per day is not an accurate figure. And then we expect Mexico which is not a wealthy nation being run by drug cartels who also dabble in people smuggling to hold onto these immigrants? If you can't stop mass importation of drugs from Mexico what do you expect to happen? Another fact to consider is the amount of legal visitors from Canada who decide to stay in the US. How many of you immigration experts know that Canada has to accept those immigrants from any current or former British possession. A lot of them end up here as well. Are you aware that there is illegal alien smuggling every night from the Bahamas (not to mention drugs also)? Check the Federal Court dockets. With all of our technology and law enforcement agencies boat loads of aliens are still making the 44 mile crossing every day with only a few getting caught. I'm sure there's more that I don't know about.

Trump controlled the border pretty well with the laws that were on the books.
