Sorry, but most of what you said was wrong. No open door policy, crime is down, the economy is better, etc, etc, etc. I keep saying...sources matter. In computer lingo, it's "garbage in, garbage out". If all you take-in is garbage, you will not be well informed.

Who are these people pouring across the southern border? Go to some right wing news outlets and find out what is happening in NYC.

As Americans look ahead to another Independence Day and a likely contentious 2024 presidential election, many are feeling fiscal pain as the prices of food, shelter, health care and transportation climb higher than their paychecks. About 52% of Americans participating in a USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll said the United States is too expensive to live in. And about 7 in 10 Americans said stifling inflation and the economy are the nation's top problems today, according to a new Pew Center survey. A majority across age, gender and race told Pew that inflation is "a very big problem."

Blended Retirement System and the TSP
If you joined the military on or after Jan. 1, 2018, or you opted into the BRS, the government will automatically contribute 1% of your basic pay to the TSP even if you don't contribute any money yourself.
