Purely speculative this: we are aware of the wave of illegal migrants crossing the border from Mexico into the US. El Paso is awash with these people. Most of the migrants originate in central America and come from very poor countries.
Here's the idea; the US government is allowing this almost unrestrained invasion as it knows it's going to war with China and the result of that war will mean the supply of cheap goods will be cut off. These migrants will be used to work the newly established factories in the US, to replace the lost goods from China.
In 2023 I wouldn't be surprised to see two things happen; the arrest of Donald J Trump and the regularisation of the migrant arrival. The arrest will be to shut down those voices calling for a border wall or quick deportations. It has the added bonus of potentially removing Trump from running in 2024 - assuming a conviction is obtained. The regularisation of migration will be a fast-track route to legal status for those arriving and who stay clear of crime. The added bonus is these voters, at least in the immediate sense, will vote Democrat.
Anyway, we'll see if this pans out in 2023.
