Here’s an eye-opening trip to Tijuana that my wife and I took, documenting the Ukrainian refugee crisis.

You should have redirected them to the Texas border where it truly is WIDE OPEN… More than 1.5 Million (possibly more according to Border Patrol) have crossed since Biden took office…
Coastwatch. That’s the first thing I thought too. 1.5 we know of and probably that many run ins. Drugs galore,child and woman trafficking, not to mention known terrorist are now wandering our country.
Hellllllooooooo xenophobia.
JAK, can you cite to instances of terrorists crossing the boarder please. Thank you.
@ A-165######– Yeah, easy to “Label” and call names while we, as a country, (Democrat or Republican or…) have a SERIOUS problem with an “Open Border”… It has to do with bringing in more low wage earners, uneducated, no housing in an already nationwide housing crisis and ever-increasing social welfare at a cost we can’t absorb…
But go ahead an name call, it’s a good deflection of facts.
Thanks Larry, good on you for making the trip and sharing the experience. Pretty interesting Ion is from Moldova. Slava Ukraini!
Now I know where some of our aid money is going
If the label fits. Certain commenters here continue to post nationalistic, anti immigrant, anti-foreigner sentiments. So the shoe appears to fit.
Do you have another solution for who will fill these low wage jobs? Because Americans refuse to do it and are much lazier than the immigrants who fill those jobs. But if you’re so mad about it, urge your legislators to pass laws that criminalize hiring undocumented immigrants, although most of the owners of agricultural companies are republicans so they’re benefiting from this and of course won’t back it.

Just google it there is lots of information I happened to hear from a friend who lives near the border.
Because the Border Patrol Chief, someone who views migrants as criminals for a living, should be trusted at his word. No proof or evidence, just his thoughts. Ok.
A165 my family came legally with sponsors never can illegally took years to get here and like most other immigrants in those times never took government money. No such thing as open borders. We can’t go the opposite way without visas not to mention but land or work. We can not deface their flag. I was shocked on all the rules we must obey.
Really? I heard from someone trustworthy that lives near the border that it was eerily deserted, and in fact Texans and Louisianans were desperately fleeing despotic regimes in their states. Guess it all depends on which fairy tale you prefer.
Larry Nimmer, thank you for going out to support these people.
