Illegal immigration is wrong.  Period.

Legal immigration is great - let's stop illegal immigration so we can have more legal immigration.

And this statement...."If you say "well, we should create a path for legal immigration at the level needed for the workforce, not illegal" ... that is basically the Democratic party platform."............

If you really believe this, you need to inform your candidates.  Because, their statements indicate that they are just fine with illegal immigration.  [/quote]

[b]You do realize that republicans pay lip service to illegal immigration while turning a blind eye to businesses that employ them[/b] (or in many cases, like the Prez, employing them themselves), right?   Have you informed your elected officials that you’d like less grandstanding at the border and actual action to curb illegal immigration?[/quote]

This is a feature, not a bug.  Keeping the unskilled workforce undocumented allows capital to further suppress labor rights, which in turn, hurts the ability of everyone to organize.  Although I have posted extensively on here about how illegal and legal immigration are a net positive to the economy, research does show that it depresses wages for native-born low-skilled workers.  What we need is not fewer immigrants, but rather full legal status for all workers.  [/quote]

See, I wish the Dem candidates would say something like this, and keep repeating.  The weird litmus test yes/no questions are not really getting to the heart of the problem and only serve to polarize voters one way or another.[/quote]
