[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a liberal democrat and I can't quite wrap my head around why it is so difficult to find the political will to fix our broken immigration system.  Of course, I don't agree with tear gas being used at the borders or children taken from their parents and other reprehensible behavior. The current immigration has lost any sense of basic humanity.  However, I see nothing wrong with stringent measures to control illegal immigration. The wall just seems like an impractical and ineffective method but I don't mind additional border patrol.  My parents were immigrants from a South Asian country and I have extended family members who literally waited 15 years plus for legal green cards to come here.  Do Democrats not see that even the appearance of supporting illegal immigrants is a message that does not resonate with most people?  I also wonder why there can't be a special migrant visa created for unskilled workers whose work is desperately needed in certain agricultural industries.  Would love any book recommendations on our current immigration system because I'm baffled as to what is causing the impasse. [/quote]

The impasse will continue as long as it benefits the GOP in elections.  Illegal immigration, welfare, massive voter fraud, government rationing of healthcare, government out to confiscate guns against the Second Amendment, criminals coming into our country and killing the citizens are all hot button talking points that many voters in red states respond to.  But the GOP will never punish the employers who profit from employing illegal immigrants.[/quote]
