With a new administration in place that's attempting to remove Title 42, a provision enacted in 2020 by the Trump administration, some Conservatives are arguing that Democrats are systematically trying to replace them with immigrants.

So the old immigrants are worried about losing out to the new immigrants.

[BERSERKER-]

Oh the irony, immigrants telling other immigrants they’re not welcomed..

[erickane]

There has to be some kind of common sense on how much each district, county, state can handle.

Her parents came in as illegals and she down playing illegals🤣

"No one wants to work anymore, " or, "they took our jobs." Can't have it both ways.

[esonon]

Don't Texans already do this to themselves when they pay migrants under the table to do landscaping and construction?

[allenwarner]

They are criminals they're breaking the law

[asturiasceltic]

Can I ask another question. Why do people assume that everyone's parents or grandparents were illegal in El Paso? That's not the case as far as I know. I think the younger generation thinks it is because that's how things are now.

My favorite part about this is that Mexican-Americans suddenly care about border security now that Central Americans and Haitians are the main people at the border.

I know these kind of people. They are the "we don't want others like us to have a good life"-people. You see this in every community everywhere.

[Jfromes]

Its not just Conservatives in Texas. Remember Marthas Vineyard residents had the military come and kick immigrants out when they showed up

[Relaxinghypnoasmr]

Why do people keep having babies if their life sucks so bad? No one thinks about what they’re doing before they do it and then make it someone else’s problem

[kris]

I wonder how native Americans feel about this rhetoric as these people wax poetic about their country and border?

[judas]

How are these people not embarrassed 😭

[krisp]

I just checked, she lost got 36% of the vote...

[asturiasceltic]

Do people really expect the USA to take in everybody? Serious question. If the entire world wanted to enter are people ok with that? Not being mean-spirited..I just want people's thoughts.

[cheapPixel]

My parents are both Mexicans. They immigrated to the US when they were young and I was born here. Despite being successful, they have never forgotten their roots and never let me stray from my familial culture. They have the greatest sympathies for these migrants.

[noeramos]

I’m embarrassed by my own people. The hypocrisy is astounding.

[neverettebrakensiek]

Currently in NYC alone immigrants are receiving 364.00 per day per family. Thats 2, 548.00 per wk . or 10, 192.00 per mo. and we have life long citizens trying to live on 1300.00 per mo. WRONG WRONG WRONG

"I've had a migrant fall out of a tree and scare me in the morning, the only thing I thought of is 'Why don't I have my gun on me?'"

I feel like there's a lot of steps of escalation between seeing someone fall out of a tree, and pulling a gun on them. This woman is actually insane.
