They're actually illegal alien invaders. How 'bout we call what them what they are. They are entering illegally. All the freaking time. They are not migrants, nor are they immigrants.
They are calling them "migrants" to hide the FACT that they are illegal aliens. "Migrants" makes it seem like a nice visit by people from another country. The true migrants in the U.S. are the farm workers who get seasonal visas to work crops in various parts of the country, but are supposed to go back each year (but I wonder how many never go back), and presumably return the following year, or perhaps at a different time of year in a different part of the country.
There are distinctions though. A migrant is someone who moves from one place to another usually for work. Following work, even in the same country would include migrants. An immigrant is a person who goes through a legal process to live in a new country. "Illegal immigrant" doesn't really make sense, since they are not going through a legal process in order to live in a new country. Hence: illegal invaders.
I feel your pain. We have many from South America and Mexico where I live. I find them personally to be lovely people, but that aside they are here illegally. As someone with immigrant close relatives, it frankly angers me that so many are "jumping the line", with the blessing of our so-called governments. BTW, they're treated quite well where I am.
Not sure that home is "hell". I think many are coming for economic advantage, and they send a boatload of money back home. These are, for the most part, not refugees from war torn countries.
You're not wrong but it doesn't give them a pass to just break the rules.
I'm in Taiwan right now and people here sign up for the visa lottery system on the off chance that they'll "win" and they can one day go to America. It takes years and luck for most of them to follow the legal process.
Or you can just waltz on in like you own the place.
You know, when homeless people just barge into your house and eat your food because their life sucks and they're hungry you're happy to just let them do it, right?
I think I'd respond better to a knock on the door.
I think much of the attraction of the U.S. is generated through American movies that they watch, producing a lust for material possessions (same as the commercials and TV shows and movies do to a large percentage of the population here), and a general mis-representation of life in the U.S.
Actually they only deported the 50 that were dropped there. Does everyone here really thing these rich people are waiting tables and emptying trash bins on the island? The island was already full of illegal immigrants. Those ones are all still there.
Those people up there are blithering idiots. You can get a much nicer and far cheaper quality of life in eastern Tennessee. Of course, this is deep red Trump Country, so there's that.
I went on Zillow last year and was amazed at what you can get in eastern TN! Of course, you need to be willing to live at least 10 miles, probably more like 20, from any significant town.
I just checked zillow, and prices are waaaaay up from a year ago! Perhaps with the interest rates up, prices will drop, so if you have cash to buy one, you might be able to get a good price without the added cost of high interest.
A friend of mine bought a farm in western Virginia two years ago, and he said his agent, who deals almost exclusively with farms, told him that when farms would come up for sale, they would get bought within a few days, and usually over the listing price. Covid drove all the city people out to the country, and if they have internet, can do just about anything they did before when they lived in a city. The question is, if the cities get back to being livable, will they get tired of country life and move back? Side note: this friend sold his house in FL in 2019, that he bought in the early 90's for about $150,000, for about $750,000, and he said it was worth another $250,000 more a year later. He did a lot of work on the house he sold, but a pretty good turn around :)
they should send a few thousand more ...give beatljuice in Chicago a break for a day or 2
Send a second group, of a larger number
Without warning
Sneak them in at night
Beatljuice, Beatljuice, Beatljuice!

You still need to ask, not just take.

How about "foreign national" or "illegal alien" ?

I am looking to retire in eastern TN.
I went on Zillow last year and was amazed at what you can get in eastern TN! Of course, you need to be willing to live at least 10 miles, probably more like 20, from any significant town.
That is what I want. Not to be in a city but close enough to stores.
I just checked zillow, and prices are waaaaay up from a year ago! Perhaps with the interest rates up, prices will drop, so if you have cash to buy one, you might be able to get a good price without the added cost of high interest.
Thanks. I will be selling my home to purchase and it is paid off. I won't be doing this right away so stuff may settle. Thanks.

Thanks for your info I hope I get a big return on my house.
You won't regret it, GG. PM me if you need to and maybe I can point you in the right direction.
Ok I tried to PM and still don't know how? Can you help?
@indicator63
Just testing if this is PM before I write more information. Let me know.
Thank you. BanjoMan gave me some information. I will take all I can get. I never PM so he sent a link to me. I will try to do it.
Gay waste of money
wait until we get to the Mad Max phase of collapse.
