Not for me. I earn more now than I ever earned when I lived to California. I've lived in 2 red states (Missouri and Utah) since I left California and I earned more money in both states than I ever earned in California.
I live in a red state. The gas prices are dropping but not as low as the top picture and we never as high as the bottom picture, even when Biden was president.
A corrupt judge embellished the facts with hot air to turn a misdemeanor (that had passed the statute of limitations) into a felony. Trump appealed and the conviction was overturned because the conviction was idiotic. Trump was fraudulently made a felon for a minute or two but not any more.
It is but mistakes happen all the time. It happens with citizens all the time. Our law enforcement should always strive to improve but that doesn't mean we should shut the whole thing down just because of 1 or 2 mistakes.
Why is it so important that people come to and stay in this country illegally?
Every murder or rape committed by someone who is here illegally just did not need to happen. If the left stopped trying to destroy this nation then maybe they would understand that. Of course not all illegal immigrants commit crime, other than the crime of illegally entering this country but the fact that it does happen places some of the blame for those crimes on the left.
The type of people crossing our border illegally is changing. It used to be people who wanted to work and earn more money then they could in their own country. Those are the minority of who is crossing our border illegally. But those are the only people the left sees.
Since Biden started handing out free money he attracted the freeloaders of the world. They aren't here to work, they're here for the handouts.
In addition there are Islamic terrorists who are coming here and this started before Biden. Venezuela was working with them to teach them Spanish and how to dress and act like Mexicans when they crossed the border. So it wouldn't look like a Islamic invasion.
BTW Islam has a strategy for taking over countries that they have been using for about a century. They know they can't always raise a big enough army to take over a country so the slowly infiltrate into a country. They establish Muslim communities and begin to practice sharia law. They try to insert themselves into government positions that will give them strategic advantage. When they become about 30% of the population then that is when the bloodshed starts.
For some bizarre reason the UN and most of the leaders of the Western world decided to facilitate a Muslim take over by importing immigrants and calling them refugees. Rapes and murders have skyrocketed in Europe because of that. In Islam raping or murdering an infidel is not considered a sin or crime.
I am not living in fear of any of Islam but at the same time that doesn't mean I want any of this happening here and Islamification has already started here. The left is facilitating it and encouraging it. Apparently the left thinks they can control the Muslim population. Idiots.
So I ask again, why is it so important that illegals stay here?
