Whats funny is Americans are so adamant that their standards of living have been dropping for 30 years, but then support unfettered immigration. I sure hope this nonsense gets downvoted like the trolling it is. Immigration into America is extremely fettered. Ask anyone who's actually done it.

Millions just walk over the border, they either get across without our knowledge or we give them a cell phone and a court date a few years in the future before we then release them into the interior. Seems pretty unfettered.

  you realize that 2/3rds of illegal immigration is from people that enter legally, right?

    And that's considered "extremely fettered"? What would unfettered look like?

      Unfettered would look like in the 19th century: arrive on a boat, spend a few hours on Ellis Island for a basic medical check and review of your paperwork with answers to 29 questions, start your new life.

        Just walking over the border seems way easier.

  we give them a cell phone and a court date a few years in the future before we then release them into the interior. this is absolutely false. When migrants who either walk or sneak across the border are apprehended, Border Patrol agents take them to facilities for processing, which includes a health screening and a criminal background check... A recent inspector general report on an El Paso, Texas, processing center found that up to 900 people were crammed into a space meant for less than 200. Some people were standing on toilets, and many said they had been there for weeks. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-az-state-wire-3b490335aa39487893e6ad745424f6ff https://apnews.com/article/immigration-donald-trump-us-news-...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is monitoring nearly a quarter of a million migrants in a program using GPS ankle monitors, phones or an app known as SmartLINK, according to the agency’s latest statistics. The Biden administration has rapidly grown the number of people in this program, known as “alternatives to detention,” or ATD.
