in the 60's and 70's. I was only asked questions twice.. going from seattle to BC. once, in june, I was in college and going to a UN housing conference or something in BC and they wanted to know if we had summer jobs for the summer (it was june). and the other time with my dad and brothers.. they wanted to know why we had 10 pairs of skis for a ski vacation.. (cause we each had several pairs.. going cat powder skiing in interior BC).. they were worried we were smuggling skis. super simple. and I just saw an article, that if trump puts big tariffs on mexico, mexico will have a big increase in poverty and we will see even more desperate people coming into the USA Trump simply does not understand tariffs. Food costa in the US will skyrocket if he does this. 🤦🏻♀️ Yup, and all the MAGA people crying about high grocery prices now? Just wait. |

Don’t forget bananas and coffee! Kona coffee growers in Hawaii will because super rich since that is the only coffee grown in the US. Everyone will have to switch to tea. Oh wait … I guess it is water and soda for everyone! |

Then why do we have so many illegals here? Why are hotels being used to house them? I am only a second generation, but my grands immigrated and gained citizenship. They did not receive free anything. We were very poor growing up. Utilities turned off, car repossessed, but never qualified for government assistance. Nothing. My parents are still working in their 80s. It’s very frustrating to me. We don't. Persons who are not here illegally are not eligible for public benefits. Some - during Covid - were housed in hotels paid for by the government in order to quarantine them. Your "news" sources are feeding you lies. |

And to be clear - I am a Democrat and am disgusted by MAGA.
I also believe in law enforcement, including enforcing our immigration laws. Biden didn't do a good job on this. Harris learned the lesson politically and will do her best to enforce if for no other reason than she will want to be reelected.
If MAGA cared about this issue, they would have supported the law proposed by conservative republicans to help this issue.
