the border (or rather, lack of it) is indeed a major issue
(especially with the flood of Islamicists surging into USA)
but the ECONOMY and JOBS and almost run-away INFLATION (LOWERING STANDARD OF LIVING) ..... this is the biggest issue for most voters
I hope the Trump campaign keeps pushing on this!
(including the pitiful and insulting teenyweeny 2.5% “COLA” for Social Security pensioners....when the real cost of living is around 20% or more......Biden/Harris regime is driving retirees straight into poverty with its fake economic data
We have imported, conservatively, 11 million people in the past 4 years. Plus about 6 million legally.
That is an awful lot of people for even a nation as large as ours to absorb in four years.
And all of these people need resources. Housing, clothing, food. With the government supporting them they are able to work for less and so they drive the native born out of their jobs. Government is covering their rent so rent rises to the level of government subsidy and food goes up because that is what happens when you have something that suddenly has a higher demand.
It is all the border.
Fix that and start removing the people who should not be here in the first place and your problems begin to drop into the fixable range.
I will add to your complaint a couple of tid bits that are studiously ignored by the left wing press. A significant percentage of those who are employed have not seen a raise and another traunch have not seen raises commensurate with inflation. Remember a classic response from economists to people complaining about rising prices is "would you accept the wages from then": a lot of people today respond I have not had a raise since then.
The social Security COLA may accurately reflect *WAGE* inflation, which is lower than price inflation.
