[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lived in 3 of those states. People are really really intolerant of different people. It is scary. [/quote]

I lived in pa.  Lived there for forty years.   People are very warm.  I grew up when Vietnamese were welcomed at ft indiantown gap.  All the churches helped place the immigrants

What people don't like is the overwhelming immigration when there're are not enough jobs    Is that so hard for educated elites in Bethesda to understand????

DP. I think it kind of is? The liberal elite don't typically feel the brunt or downside of the immigration policies they favor. [/quote]

I think you're wrong.  The downside of leaving immigration unsolved is the crazy amount of human and drug trafficking that goes on in favor of the cheap labor that Republicans want.  If you want a secure border and strict enforcement of immigration laws, the most effective way to do that it go after employers who hire them.  Make them prove they're hiring legal workers and make them pay a living wage.  Make it all above ground so the workers can pay taxes on the wages they make and reap the benefit of living peacefully in the places where they labor.

What's so hard about that?  Oh, right.  Going after employers who hire illegal labor and may or may not pay slave wages.  We can't do that to "job creators."[/quote]

I'm with you for most of your post. But you're fooling yourself if you think it's only the Republican establishment that wants the cheap labor. It's the entire ruling class - Rs and Ds. [/quote]

The establishment goes for whatever their funders want - and you're right.  Those funders don't care who gets their money, so long as they get the job done and keep the immigration debate exactly where it is - a debate and not policy.

Their money does go further with Republicans, though.  That's not an accident.  Amnesty would definitely create more Democratic voters, and they're more likely to vote for things like health care, education, living wages and workers' rights.  [/quote]
