It's been like that. They come here because living in a car is a step up from where they came from.
The other day I was listening to a conversation about a woman who had to shower in runoff from a gutter ... I walked by and said do what you gotta do, no shame.
Small percentage coming here like this!
I wouldn't be surprised if this was still better than living somewhere with terrible food, more crime and deaths than you can navigate each day and no sense of opportunity (this is the "dream").
There's a lot coming here like this. The small percentage is the terrorists.
At this point the border is flooded with poor people, people seeking refuge from war/government collapse/dictatorships, fugitives, and terrorists.
Been preparing asylum cases for a while. Most of the people are coming here because they think that they can make more $ than in their home country. The stories how dangerous is for them to live in their home country is made up to get the documents over here
Well it depends. If they're coming from Haiti, it's undeniable... That's a sinking ship. But they might have been forced into that gang life.
If they're women coming from the middle east, it's probably because they want to learn to read and do math and not get stoned to death for hair or rape.
