shoring up the the "basest" of the base vote

[j.p.]

There is a right (legal) way and a wrong (illegal) way to enter my country.

You simply are not facing reality if you think folks with no money, no job, no insurance, come here to have a baby are not depleting our services and wealth. It may be free to them, but we pay.

The so called caravan invaders are not here yet.

Asylum is a right way if approved. If not approved, they don't get in.. 

Folks coming in on the southern border generally come to work. Other the schools, they are not depleting are services. I'm not sure what you mean by "wealth" They create wealth.
