They're not undocumented, or illegal. They are coming here in a legal manner, following the proper rules and proceedures. You're conflating illegal immigrants with refugees.
From a Congressional Research Service report:
"In FY2023, U.S. Border Patrol encountered more than
447,000 foreign nationals from the Northern Triangle
crossing the U.S. Southwest border between ports of entry,
including 213,000 Guatemalans; 181,000 Hondurans; and
53,000 Salvadorans [[see Figure 2). Of those encountered,
the Border Patrol placed 309,000 into removal proceedings
under Title 8 of the U.S. Code, where they could potentially
seek asylum or related relief, and expelled 138,000 from the
United States under Title 42 for public health reasons."
We're talking about a 0.15% increase of the US's population. The problem is not that the US cannot perform it's legal and moral duties, it's that if you put all of these people into a handful of big cities, they can't handle it. They need to be spread around. The idea that metro Detroit is "overwhelmed" by a few hundred refugees is laughable.
