I was looking as they came off the busses. A lot of them looked to me like they were hand selected to come here. Well dressed young healthy athletic looking etc. My bet is they were screened vetted etc before they got to the border, and probably were bussed to the border.
Then the Media films them, maybe some REAL illegal ones mixed in, crossing the river. We can’t trust what we think. I think there is a massive inflow from all around the USA, east west north, not just the south. Its like a new 1900 to 1920 Ellis Island recruitment of people from various places. I go shopping at Costco, and at least 30-40% are foreign born. Heavy accents and strange languages. Many look like American until they start talking.
Also huge demand for apartments driving rents a lot higher. Population boom going on and nobodys having kids. I hear they are NOT renewing some leases so they can get rid of you, and raise the 2 bed rent from $2425 to $3460, 42% more. I know of two people in a senior cit complex. The land lords might be limited to 5% a year so they evict you when the lease is up.
