Biden's sudden centrist push on immigration

I keep seeing reports about how we need immigration and we are underemployed but what about the homeless in the streets, what about hospitals being strained with the newcomers, jump in crime rates. They are not escaping Nazi Germany or communist Russia. If you cannot survive with your own people you will not thrive in a modern society. Just bring it down to your level. Basically nannies, drug dealers, and gang bangers. Biden finally feels the pain, hears the cries of enough already?
Seems to be.
Took Britain, Italy, and the rest of Europe long enough, but they finally woke to up to the folly of "open borders".
The USA is alone as being the only nation where ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, and we made a lot of progress in the 1960s with the Civil Rights movement in the USA, and we passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which is the Equal Opportunity Act, so we all have an equal shot at jobs, and then we have the Civil Rights Act of 1968 which is the Fair Housing Act, so we all have an equal shot on housing. We have Civil Rights, and ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. That is the first thing that people need to learn when they come to the USA.
And this land is your land, and this land is my land, this land belongs to you and me. Like Woody Guthrie so eloquently sang. We all are equal, and we all have the same chance for a job and for housing.
This is not Italy, and this is not France, and this is not Australia, this is the USA and we stand alone as the place that belongs to ALL people equally. The USA is the only nation with a Statue of Liberty telling the world to send us their homeless.
The Unions can help to put our immigrants to work, and then the immigrants need to be able to travel safely on public transportation with everyone else, Greyhound buses, Amtrak trains, Metrolink trains, etc, etc, etc.
The USA is for everyone, and we need to make everyone legal so that they can call the police in the case of an emergency and so that they can join a labor union, and so that they can come out of the shadows, and so that they can safely ride public transportation, etc.
We need to make everyone legal like Reagan did, and then we need to write a new law that includes a Good Neighbor policy.
Salute,
Tony V.
