The root cause of illegal immigration is American success and opportunity. So get rid of that, and immigration will cease. That seems to be the policy to me, anyway.

I was just about to start asking “Where’s Kamala?”
Hadn’t heard her cackling here lately.
Figured she was getting her hair done or another wardrobe update in Beverly Hills.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to overthrow all of the crooked governments there? :)
We used to do that, until it became unfashionable.

So Chomo and the Homwill do nothing about securing the border and sned billions to those s holes. And the problem will fix itself when the entire population of Central America is here on welfare. Great plan guys. Just great.

Did she address the root causes in Africa since we are flying them for free into the U.S., too?
