Not a wet blanket, it's in the interest of accuracy and the point remains. The article says it was an 11.5% decline from 2016 to 2018. That projects to a 22% reduction over 4 years, which is a huge number.

How does legal immigration number compare to illegal immigration????? If I remember don't we take in more immigrants then the most of the world combined??... also shouldn't the focus on American first and focusing on homelessness, poverty, veterans not being taken care of??? I mean in simple terms...if you feed or house your population why would you bring in outsiders, other then for appearances..

We're not debating the merits of legal immigration, we're talking about whether or not Republican actions show support for legal immigration.

I believe the dates you pointed out the focus was taking care of America...so of course there would be a decline....but you cant just take 1 source of immigration to prove a point while ignoring the other source....most Republicans are for legal immigration but with illegal immigration out of control and the needs of our own.....the focus has to be fixing those issues 1st...all immigration was down under Trump...as we started back to becoming a self sufficient country...

Monday morning QBing from thousands of miles away, but when the US abruptly stopped air support, for an Afghan army that had depended on said support, that seems to have caused a foreseeable and avoidable problem.

Just my opinion, again more QB'ing, but I think Biden wanted a decisive win, something that would be popular with many Americans, which this was. But a combination of faulty projections regarding the Afghan army and the Taliban the worst possible case played out. Biden is in a no win situation in this. He has to ensure he gets Americans out and Afghan support assets out at the very least but he'll need to put American troops in harm's way, likely via combat missions to do it.

If the resources to keep up with noncitizens here legally are ineffective at tracking those people because they are overtaxed by illegals, then shut it all down and get things under control. Despite the whining by businesses "with legitimate need" and universities, the only exceptions should be for foreign born spouses of military members, for verified life saving medical services, and limited humanitarian slots for those whose lives would be in danger (like Afghan interpreters).

It's like people cannot comprehend reason behind the airline safety message about putting your oxygen mask on first before trying to help others.
