These people are not "immigrants"! Immigrants move to another country and obey the immigration laws of that country.
They are also not "undocumented immigrants". There's no such thing. Every immigrant who is
allowed to live here has had to prove who they are with valid ID and other paperwork that show they are qualified to LEGALLY live here in our country.
These people are also NOT refugees. According to our laws, refugees must present at a legal port of entry to the US, say they are applying for asylum because they fear for their lives, and are required to apply for citizenship by filling out an application and waiting to be approved to become a citizen. They are allowed to live temporarily in the US while their case is being decided.

Unlawful entry into our country is a
Felony. (Look up what the penalty is for a felony here! It almost always involves some jail time!)
Unlawful entry into the United States means that a person has entered the United States outside of immigration laws that allow legal entrance into the U.S. Unlawful entry is legally called "improper entry" (U.S. Code Title 8, Section 1325). In America, when people commit crimes - especially felonies - and are detained for those crimes, they are automatically separated from their families while they pay the consequences of those crimes.
A person is considered to have illegally entered the U.S. if they:
- Enter at a place without immigration officers present or at a location that is not a designated point of entry
- Enter without being examined or inspected by immigration officers
- Enter based on false or misleading information
- Enter while willfully concealing facts or materials
Why should an illegal alien criminal, who thinks they can sneak into our country ahead of people who are waiting to become legitimate, legal American citizens, be treated any differently than American citizens who commit crimes against our laws? These people are intentionally and deliberately disobeying our laws and must be held accountable for that!
Biden has kept our border open for almost three years now. He has thwarted any attempts to close it. And after three years of lockdowns, mandates, massive job loss, massive closure of business and inflation that is higher than most of us have ever seen in our lives, he expects us to dig deep and tighten our belts, buy less food and clothes and struggle to pay for housing, food, medical care and many other things for these criminals - and their families (!!) - who are invading our country???
Yeah....let's vote for Biden again - maybe he'll open our northern border so those countries who have a hard time making it to our southern border will be able to invade us from there!
