State your reasoning, Frank.
Allowing more immigrants/asylum seekers into this country. Their medical bills alone are breaking us.

You fell for a right wing sound bite without checking the full story.
"The figures used by Haley, DeSantis and Cotton — 8 million or 10 million — are totals of all migrant encounters at the border plus gotaways, and, in Cotton’s case, encounters at the northern border, coastal borders and airports. Cotton’s press secretary, Patrick McCann, told us that those figures showed the senator was correct to say that number “crossed into the country.” But these claims ignore that DHS statistics show 2.8 million of the encounters at the southern border alone resulted in a removal or expulsion directly from CBP custody, and all of the rest of the migrants encountered are not simply released...
"... DHS estimated there were 660,000 “gotaways,” or unlawful entries, in fiscal 2021. The agency would not provide an updated estimate. However, a DHS spokesperson told us: “Under this Administration, the estimated annual apprehension rate has averaged 78%, identical to the rate of the prior Administration.” That rate would support a gotaway figure of 1.6 million from February 2021 through October."

Do Immigrants Drain the U.S. Health-Care System?
“We found that immigrants have medical expenditures that are half that of United States-born individuals. Undocumented immigrants spend a disproportionately small amount of total health-care dollars in this country—they account for 5 percent of the population but only 1.4 percent of total health-care spending,” Flavin said. Why? The researchers hypothesize it’s because new immigrants are often younger and healthier than the general U.S. population, language barriers or lack of insurance can prevent access to care, and they fear deportation. But the end result is a benefit to existing citizens. “Perhaps most surprisingly,” Flavin said, “immigrants pay in more than they withdraw, generating an annual surplus of $11 billion to $17 billion to the Medicare Health Insurance Fund.”
LOL. "Sweeping"... After they stand there and count 2,500 and only if they aren't kids or otherwise exempted then they are turned away... Having them tally and allow 2,500 illegal entries a day of any type without exemptions before they can take any action is absurd political theater.
