A new survey found that 42 million people from Latin America and the Caribbean region want to immigrate to the United States.
“There are 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Roughly 450 million adults live in the region. Gallup asked them if they would like to move to another country permanently if they could,” said Gallup CEO Jim Clifton, whose company conducted the poll, in an article on March 24. “A whopping 27 [percent] said ‘yes.’ This means roughly 120 million would like to migrate somewhere.
“Of those who want to leave their country permanently, 35 percent—or 42 million—said they want to go to the United States.”
The poll comes as a surge of illegal immigrants have attempted to cross the U.S.–Mexico border in recent weeks; White House officials have advised the people that the border is closed and not to come.
This week, a Democratic congressman whose district lies along the border released striking images showing children in cramped quarters and sleeping on the ground in a runoff facility operated by Border Patrol in Donna, Texas. The following day, the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released photos showing long lines to the bathroom, children sleeping in fenced-off areas, and small children in play areas.
Temporary processing facilities in Donna, Texas, processes family units and unaccompanied alien children encountered by and in the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol. The facility will bolster processing capacity in the Rio Grande Valley while the permanent Centralized Processing Center in McAllen, Texas, is renovated, on March 23, 2021. (CBP)
Some reporters have accused the White House of a lack of transparency over the border facilities, with some pointing out that the media wasn’t denied access during the Trump, Obama, or Bush administrations.
Other polls have suggested that Americans increasingly disapprove of how President Joe Biden is dealing with the border situation. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week found that only 41 percent of Americans support Biden’s handling of immigration, while 45 percent don’t support how the issue is being handled.

The really shocking thing about the Reuters/Ipsos poll is that Biden's policy has the support of 41 percent of Americans. I suspect that most of those supporters do not live on the border. I think if Biden is going to let all these people in, he should sip them all to Deleware or DC. Let them build a tent city inside the fence they constructed around the Capitol building. Perhaps then Congress would get a better feel for the problems caused by the policy.
DailyWire: Harmeet K. Dhillon, founder of the Dhillon Law Group Inc., blasted Democrats’ claims of race-based voter suppression while pointing out the real threat to U.S. election integrity: the federalization of election law. Dhillon and her law firm are representing The Daily Wire in its legal challenge against the Biden administration’s order mandating that large employers either vaccinate or mask and COVID-19 test all their employees. The Supreme Court stayed the order on January 13 in a major blow to the government. Roughly two weeks later, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration withdrew the rule to reassess its implementation. Dhillon is set to appear on “The Ben Shapiro: Sunday Special” episode airing Sunday, January 30. During the episode, Dhillon and host Ben Shapiro cover topics from the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stay President Joe Biden’s vaccine order for large employers and conservatives’ reluctance to engage in “lawfare” with Democrats. When th...
A global war on insurgency Roxanna Tiron: The anti-insurgency tactics the U.S. military is learning in Iraq could be applied globally, which would turn the war on terrorism into a “war on insurgency,” said Lt. Gen. William Boykin, deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence and war fighting support. “My position is that this is a global insurgency,” said Boykin during a forum on special operations and low intensity conflict. In Iraq and other trouble spots, the United States has to come to grips with the nature of the enemy, he explained. “It is a web of networks that come together in a coalition of convenience. There are links to drug trafficking, money laundering and the like,” he said. An insurgency is a political-military activity, in which the political aspects are much more ...
Gregg Roman: ... Although administration officials have been reluctant to explain the precise reasoning behind their last-minute series of attacks on Israel, as near as I can tell it rests on three assumptions. The first, as Kerry outlined in his speech, is that a freeze on Israeli settlement growth makes it easier for Palestinian negotiators to make painful compromises at the negotiating table. It supposedly does this by easing Palestinian suspicions that Israel either won't make major territorial concessions at the negotiating table, or won't implement these concessions once made. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put this assumption to the test in November 2009 when he imposed a 10-month moratorium on new housing construction (East Jerusalem excepted) at the urging of the Obama administration. What happened? Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas refused to return to talks until the very end of the moratorium and remained every bit as intransigent as ...
