[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an upper middle class professional and a Democrat. For years I’ve been hearing that I should really be Republican for my own self interest. Less taxes and all that. But now this new Trump/Republican tax plan come out and guess what, it complete is not good for me.

Can someone explain?[/quote]

Tell this to the Tea Partiers. They are the ones who fought against e-verify.

"The conservative critics – including Republican lawmakers, Tea Party groups and border-state governors – are airing a long string of complaints: From fears the bill will erode civil liberties; to worries it will harm the agriculture industry; to concerns that it simply won't work."

You do realize that the majority of those who hire illegal immigrants are R business owners? Namely the farmers, who mostly voted for Trump?[/quote]

DP.

Right.  Because anti-immigration isn't about maintaining jobs for American workers.  It's about maintaining laborers who have no rights.

And if that means diminished rights for American workers, well that's just icing on the cake.

Knowledge-based industries - e.g. tech - don't have a big enough talent pool in the American-born workforce.  They can import talent to keep their business here, or they can take their business elsewhere.  They'd be willing to verify immigrant status and jump through whatever hoops are required, but as long as other service-based industries are creating a loophole in following the law, knowledge-based industries will step through it.

Close the loophole for everyone by going after employers who break the law by exploiting labor, and a big part of the immigration problem gets fixed.  Then you could go after people who really have no business being here, and you'd get broad support for it.

But agribusiness, construction, and a lot of other industries that rely on bodies doing the labor on American soil [b]absolutely need two things:  1) immigrant labor[/b], because the American labor pool is weakened by poor health (literally dying in large numbers daily!), poor education and a substandard work ethic, and 2) immigration reform to remain [b]a public policy debate that never gets resolved[/b], because industry doesn't want to pay fair wages and benefits.  What's more, they want the public anger about this to remain solidly fixed on the immigrants, not industry, and certainly not elected officials who help keep it unresolved.
