In the meantime, we must recognize that many people are fleeing crime, corruption, and oppression, as well as poor economic conditions. Rather than creating an atmosphere of hostility, it is better to foster a culture of responsibility and encourage legal residency.

As has been the case throughout our history. And our borders have always been open for those coming in legally

We have always welcomed anyone who wants to come here. All we ask is to get in line like everyone else. Why is that so difficult?

Here’s the problem.

The “line” is years and years long, due to slow processing and also quotas for various countries.

It is perhaps time for the gov’t to figure out how to shorten the process to a manageable level.
