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.

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.
James Freeman: President Obama's $825 billion (and counting) "stimulus" is steamrolling through Congress. One group of conservative Republicans is betting that it will only worsen the country's economic plight. That's where the House Republican Study Committee comes in. "No Trillion Dollar Spending Spree" is the message from this conservative caucus. Led by its new chairman, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, the RSC now counts more than 100 House Republicans among its members. Mr. Price calls the Democrats' proposal "the non-stimulus plan" and says it "simply won't work" because it offers no market incentives to create jobs. What the plan does offer are multibillion-dollar gifts to state governments, teachers unions, and the environmental lobby, with such gems as a $6 billion program to "weatherize modest-income homes." In contrast, Mr. Price and company have drawn up their own plan, the "Economic Recovery and Middle...
WND: The Irish-born filmmaking couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny are known for their film "Gosnell," which exposed the seamy underside of the abortion industry by turning transcripts and evidence from the trial of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell into a cinematic drama. Now, in yet another effort to counter a conventional narrative with first-hand evidence, they're about to release "Obamagate: The Movie," showing how the Obama administration tried to take down Donald Trump.They turned gripping testimony from the 2014 Michael Brown case into a play, called "Ferguson." And lately they did the same with the infamous texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page in "FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers," starring Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. "We would be unemployed if the media did its job," McAleer told WND in an interview. "They're not reporting spin anymore," he said of the establ...
