I’m the PP.

You’re right!  I was not disagreeing with your post.  Just commenting that it’s not all manipulative talking points.  Some of us see and experience the negative effects of illegal immigration want the issue addressed.

[b]Agree that wealthy people of both parties benefit from the cheap labor and that’s why the issue has not been solved as of yet.  [/b]

DP and I agree. But illegal immigration isn’t a widespread problem, overall they tend to be better behaved than citizens, pay in more through  sales taxes and the like than they get out and let’s be honest, the immigration of many of our ancestors to this continent/country was questionably legal at best (unless you were Native American).

The reason I continually fault the GOP more for illegal immigration is that they continually empower businesses over workers. You want to pay your workers a sub-legal amount and house them in questionable housing and prevent them from exercising their rights? Quelle surprise American citizens don’t take those jobs, almost as if GOP business owners purposefully created some of those working conditions in order to draw more illegal immigrants who wouldn’t speak out, would accept low pay and dangerous conditions without a word.

And the GOP’s “solution” to this problem? Kidnap and jail kids. If you know the tiniest thing about child development, you know what utter cruelty this is. That’s not a response to illegal immigration, that’s sadism. Fine the businesses into the ground but my god let us regain some of our humanity.

People who cheer for that kind of cruelty? Those are the people undoing the country.[/quote]

That’s not the GOP’a solution.  This has been going on before Trump came to office.

Either way, the point is that illegal immigration IS actually a problem.  Both parties need to figure out a solution.  I would be thrilled to see businesses fined for employing illegal immigrants.  That is what I think NEEDS to happen.

But it’s not just Republicans that support business owners.  Follow the money.  Plenty of Democrat donors are wealthy business owners and don’t want to see their stream of cheap labor curtailed.  [/quote]
