The problem is NOT immigration - but about enforcing law and order - how in the HELL can any country tolerate anyone ignoring their laws and getting away with it? France had perhaps sent the signals that their immigrants did not need to assimilate OR follow their laws and customs - hence we have what we have. The US also better enforce the laws we do have - yes, there is room for compassion and for asylum seekers and so on - but that was NOT what we saw during Biden recently - it was almost as if Biden wanted to punish the US and so deliberately created chaos at the border AND added insult to injury in what the Feds doled out. And sure - the backlash to what Biden did is what we are watching now - using "illegals" as the excuse we are watching a whole sale assault on immigrants and immigration because they can - yes there are criminals who should be deported, thrown in jail whatever - but it does seem the objective in the US now is to strangle immigration broadly - and the signals are clear as we see in the data (and not just students coming for advanced studies)
