I'm sure the answer is , we have better benefits
That is certainly the case! But, the people seeking asylum say they are runnung from persecution. Coming under false pretenses doesn't do anyone any good.
If they do come in, I understand California has an immediate need for firefighters. The man and women can be put to work right away. After that, there are several thousand homes that will need to be rebuilt. If they can't pound a nail we can find something else for them to do. When they find out they have to work here maybe the caravans will stay in Mexico City.
Just some early morning ideas.
