Migrants

Virtue signaling is a relatively new phrase in the vernacular an it means using compassion to promote an idea. A good example is California where compassion toward migrants coming up from the south allowed ten million to enter the state since 1990. Some suggest this was done without considering the long-term consequences. Where would these people live in a state that was already facing a housing problem. Would they over lode the publics schools. Would they place an undo strain on public health? Would this lead to increases in crime? While many of these issues did not affect the political leaders who instigated the policies, they had a profound affect on the poorer neighborhoods. This same thing has occurred, to a lesser level, in other states and this represents the positive side to illegal migrants. The down side is the thousands of women and girls who were molested crossing the Mexican desert, the estimated 275,000 deaths to young people from fentanyl, the trafficking of thousands including 300,000 unaccompanied minors who have disappeared, the billions in profits to the cartels and the criminals that are still living in the US. All of this merely illustrates the need for legal immigration and not an open border. It will take many years to recover.
