Comment on The Biden admin has let in millions of illegal aliens but it's deporting this German family that had been granted asylum to homeschool their kids

  How many millions do we get from central America vs how many from western Europe?

  Ya know, that’s a good question.

  From the Pew Research Center:

  Meanwhile in the more geographically isolated U.S., about eight-in-ten came from the Americas, with about half from Mexico alone.

  Next question: why are so many immigrating the Americas?

    Well, theres probably multiple reasons for that.

    The first reason that comes to mind is theres a land connection. Makes illegally immigrating much easier when you don’t have to attempt a water landing.

    Theres also how screwed up most of central America is compared to the US.

      I mean, who am I to disagree? In fact, I’d love to agree because Central and South America’s land connection has facilitated close ties to the U.S. historically.

  Asylum seekers? Where in Western Europe are they persecuting people for racial, ethnic, or religious reasons?
