MODERATORS
What ultimately matters most are your priorities for immigration. Do you in any way want to limit legal immigration at the southern border? Do you want the immigrant population to grow more slowly, or are you ok with a high rate of immigration?
The fundamental reality is that many of the people who enter illegally have valid claims for entering, and under current rules and standards they should be allowed in. Many Republicans cheered on a measure to give asylum to people fleeing certain authoritarian countries like Cuba and Venezuela. The issue is that the legal channels are backed up due to underfunding, so many of those theoretically legal refugees enter illegally. When they enter illegally, they can't use the systems meant to ferry them to sanctuary cities, even ones far from the border.
The reason the processing system isn't properly funded is that Republicans want to limit both legal and illegal immigration from Latin America. They are actually the ones guilty for creating so much illegal immigration, and the crisis at the border. They want to only fund efforts to keep immigrants out, and refuse to fund efforts to let qualified refugees in. If you want the border situation addressed and don't care about limiting immigration for qualified refugees, conservatives are the ones to blame.
