This is because the migrants are now blended into society. They got what they wanted - free passage into the country and now are bidding for labor work.
They are not true asylum seekers like the Afghans... fleeing political or religious persecution, and looking for food and shelter. They came for work and it puts our lowest income citizens (people of color) out of work and relying in public assistance.
I'm Latino saying this. My Dad told me the one guy by our old house (Brooklyn) makes sandwiches for $3/hr at the deli. They don't come to live in tent cities. They are stacked into apartments and claim public assistance too. I've seen them. One of the neighbors got an EBT card from the pandemic stimulus of $1,600 and she never even applied... and she's here illegally from eastern Europe. I know another woman from Ecuador who got some top but she did not tell me how much. She's here for a long time waiting for deportation proceedings but they keep being postponed due to massive backlog of doing criminals first so she never will be deported and she knows this.
I believe our government knows all this but wants them to plant the flag, have kids, become dependents of the state, and be lifelong voters. Guess which party does this. If you're white you don't understand.
