The fascists think that there's millions and millions of scary brown people coming across the border, and they're driving wages down and causing violence.
It's not true because it's all based in racism. It's also worth noting that the border policy under Biden is exactly the same, if not worse than it was under Trump. So they're having a tantrum because they're not shooting migrants or putting them in concentration camps enough.
As far as I understand it, USA needs the workers. Same reason that here in Canada we've turbo-charged immigration in recent years. But USA is content to keep that underclass of easily exploitable under-the-table workers. Here we just put a rubber stamp on it and call it the "temporary foreign worker program".
