No we need to throw them out if they are unwilling to apply for entry like we've required for decades.

Many are asylum seekers. Some like in Haiti need to get out.
When US becomes isolationists like the MAGAs do, foreign issues affect us eventually.

Many are asylum seekers.

BS - they are simply economic refugees - asylum means they are being killed in their country for their beliefs and politics. They aren't. These people in Haiti are the architect of their own failures - look at the Dominican Republic that shares the island with them. Prosperous and healthy.

Haiti was colonized by France and has a long history of exploitation including from US companies.
I don't know what's happening in Haiti but the turmoil is worst in years and is reflection of the dire state of that country.

Then stop pretending they didn't do it to themselves.

During my time living in MA I've sporadically shopped at a dollar store (generic name use name)....
To purchase only candy....
Once in a pinch I needed AA batteries and bought a small pack....

Who amongst the AF members regularly shop at any type dollar store....

I'd be shocked if any do....

Dollar General has some stores they call DG Markets. They are about the size of the old grocery stores from the 1970s. One even sells gas. I regularly buy pop, snacks and sometimes frozen dinners or pizza there. I buy gasoline at the cheapest place around and often that is the DG in the town north of me. If I head into Oklahoma, my former assistant's ex runs a store in a small wide spot on the state line and gets a tax break for being a state line store. I buy gas there and it's the cheapest place to buy Black Rifle mocha coffe with 300 g. of caffeine. I don't always buy that but it is my occasional vice. Really jump starts your pacemaker. My other choices are Harps - a regional grocer or Walmart (Supercenter or Neighborhood Store) I've not set foot in Wally for several years. And I buy a lot of canned stuff via Amazon. And I am very fond of the coffee from Casey's General Stores which are basically C - stores. It fresh brews as you buy it. Med or dark roast - good stuff.

Dollar stores have good prices. Problem is inventory changes. When right product there, it's a bargain.

The best grocery we have, howbeit a limited one, is the Dollar General stores labeled DG Markets. Walmart closed one of the original sized stores in a town nearby and the store is now a Harps IGA but they are hardly busier than the new DG Market. DG market produce is fresher and cheaper than Harps. Pop is generally cheaper. Frozen pizza, etc. cheaper. And they are usually cheaper than W-M on OTC drugs. And one local Dollar General also has gasoline and is invariably the cheapest gas around. I fill up there often.

Yes, I shop at DG Market or the smaller Dollar General for soda, meds, and paper products (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) I have not been in a Walmart for years.
