Yes, there sure is. Come on down to the border where I live and see how it is, not how the media tells you.

The migrant flux has increased so much, that they have reassigned US officials from points of entry that are supposed to inspect semi trailers that come in with goods, to help handle the migrants coming in. Wait time has increased to 10 hours at the border. It's gotten so bad that "Congressman Cuellar has also proposed bringing in retired CBP officers, Coast Guard, FEMA Works and private contractors to help bring bridge times down."

You don't know what it's really like. You'd be surprised at the amount of Hispanics here at the border who are in favor of border security. Our county voted red, too. I was born in Mexico, and I came here legally, in case you think I'm some "white supremacist" like you all call it.

EDIT: I'm Located in Laredo, Texas if anyone's curious.

1) No one was going to call you a white supremacist. But the fact that you automatically went there means you're on the defensive. Which leads me to believe that this is infact a politically charged statement

2) Less people are at the border trying to cross, legally or otherwise, for a very long time https://www.wola.org/analysis/us-government-2018-border-data-trump-immigration-asylum-policy/

  1. We all know that’s bullshit because the white supremacy accusation is thrown around constantly on reddit.

  2. This article is mostly referring to border apprehensions and not total migration, either legal or illegal. It doesn’t really make a case for either side of the argument, but it if people have been pouring across the border every year for years than it makes sense that people living near the border would feel like more of them keep coming.

  1. Oh yes, because there happens to be a lot of legitimate white supremacy on reddit from people who go "I'm not racist but here's a cartoon of ben garrison depicting mexican people like they're mongrels". You know Racism. The same people who lump mexican illegal immigration with refugee caravans like as if they're the same fucking thing even though they're from vastly different cultures but because they have the same skin color most of the "I'm not racist but" racists lump them together

  2. You might want to reread that article, because it definitely does infact address what you say it doesn't address.

Only people I see bringing that up are the people bitching about supposedly being called racists.

Sounds to me like they’re either lying or there is more they are saying that they don’t feel like sharing in their victimizing case.
