Biden introduced a sweeping immigration reform bill to congress in 2021. It’s been sitting in a House sub-committee ever since. Do you want to know why? Lack of GOP support means it’s dead in the water. You take as long as you need with that. Republicans don't care about running a country or making it work . They want the government to fail so they can sell it off to their billionaire friends. They want Biden to fail because if he isn't they would need to talk about actual issues and come up with solutions to those issues.

Prisons are full of people of various pigmentation who chose crime over the jobs "criminals and rapists" are paying to cross Mexico to enter the US and do.
That's not a border problem. The solution to the problem Lek sees is despotism with a healthy dose of shake down economy, resulting in no GNP. If he gets his way, look out Canada. You better start stacking bricks.

That’s not a valid question, since the UK is no longer part of the European Union. But within the EU, yes - someone from Spain could pack up and relocate to Finland just as easily as someone from California could move to New York.
Boru And you know what?
Countries like Germany are not overrun by poor peoples from the Balkans for example.
Fascinating, innit?

Well, that's clearly because of the massive, fortified wall that Angela Merkel had built along Germany's border with Austria to keep those insidious Balkan people from sneaking...
Oh, wait. Never mind.

Dems have had a large enough majority in both houses to pass it all along.

Some of the Balkan countries are part of the EU, like Greece, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Romania.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
