A new survey found that 42 million people from Latin America and the Caribbean region want to immigrate to the United States.
“There are 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Roughly 450 million adults live in the region. Gallup asked them if they would like to move to another country permanently if they could,” said Gallup’s CEO Jim Clifton, whose company conducted the poll, in an article Wednesday. “A whopping 27 [percent] said ‘yes.’ This means roughly 120 million would like to migrate somewhere.”
Then he added: “Of those who want to leave their country permanently, 35 percent—or 42 million—said they want to go to the United States.”
The poll comes as a surge of illegal immigrants have attempted to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in recent weeks, as White House officials have told them that the border is closed and not to come.
This week, a Democratic congressman whose district lies along the border released striking images showing children in cramped quarters and sleeping on the ground in a runoff facility operated by Border Patrol in Donna, Texas. A day later, the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released photos showing long lines to the bathroom, children sleeping in transparent fenced-off areas, and small children in play areas.

(CBP) What’s more, members of the media have accused the White House of a lack of transparency over the border facilities, with some going so far as to say that the practice of denying media members was never allowed during the Trump, Obama, or Bush administrations.
Other polls have suggested that Americans are increasingly disapproving of how President Joe Biden is dealing with the border situation. A Reuters/Ipsos released last week found that only 41 percent of Americans support Biden’s handling of immigration, while 45 percent do not support how the issue is being handled.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other White House officials have said former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies are the reason for the surge in migration and how children are being housed. But Republicans have seized on the issue, saying it’s because Biden rescinded several of Trump’s key immigration policies.
“I’ve been to border facilities under the Obama admin and Trump admin. The media was always allowed to join us. It is only the Biden administration that has engaged in a media blackout,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wrote Tuesday.
Why would anyone want to come here since we are such a racist country?
Free stuff.
Both parties have spent 30 years turning the USA into North Mexico.
They are on the cusp of doing it.
Too many, North America would sink into the ocean(s).
When stuff is no longer free, they will try to take.
Get effing READY!!!

We probably have 42 million ready to leave.
Guess maybe they could swap places with those wanting to come here.
All of them can come here and we can go there. But for some reason I don’t think that’s what they have in mind.
The Dems don’t want them all but just enough to solidify a permanent hold on power
And then there is the rest of the world...
Closer to reality than many would likely want to admit. The problem is there really isn't any place better to go. I think this is one reason tensions are getting so high. There's no 'New World' to build something different, better. We're all outta real estate.
Within one generation of conservative white rule, those countries would be rich and prosperous.
Just 42 million? Or is that because they only asked 42 million?
We could trade. Plenty of undeveloped land there. A new US country + a new constitution where socialism is outlawed.
If they are moving FROM the Caribbean then maybe I’ll move TO the Caribbean.
It’s s’pose to be paradise, right?
Every immigrant worker would be seasonal/temporary for 10 years until they prove they’re not leftists.
You know what, just make them all citizens! Start sending them money, print money like hell wouldn’t have it.
Be done with it already. So many Americans are stone stupid, and would rather feel virtuous than to actually understand what’s going on.
They should eliminate taxes on resorts and beef up their police and people would flock to their beaches providing thousands of jobs. Heck, Acapulco was once a destination for tourists, until the crime got so bad people were literally in danger.
They can ask nicely rather than just impose themselves.
I’m in, I’ll run defense and counter communism ops.
