a "porous" border as opposed to what? the fucking Berlin wall? the US has had the same border for decades, ever since Reagan ENDED cyclical migration. they used to come here, work for a season, then go home. now they might as well stay because we made it so difficult to come in the first place.
and oh no, not desperately poor migrants staying WITHOUT CITIZENSHIP, the horror! I don't give a fuck about visas. Lady Liberty said "GIVE ME YOUR POOR," did she fucking stutter?
@dietotaku I can remember in the early eighties going to my friends house in western Ohio and seeing the signs for "Migrant Rest Areas". These people did all the hard work the white folk there didn't want to do. Oh, the Mexican restaurants were the bomb! They came in the spring, left in the fall.
