[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]democrats owned this issue 20 years ago.  we were the party of the workers.  Now we are the party of the undocumented workers.  it wasn't clinton that lost , it was the policy.   the sooner we remember this the sooner we can give the boot to pelosi and schumer and start electing a new generation of Democrats that are focused on US citizens.[/quote]
As a trump supporter, you have posted a comment of remarkable common sense. I hope that no one in your party listens because you have exactly summed up a major democrat problem and solution.[/quote]

As workers' rights grew, they were no longer victims, and therefore no longer useful to the Dems.  But give me an illegal, and that's just the kind of person the Dems can use.  Boss Tweed is alive, well and hosting a show on MSNBC.  [/quote]
From what  I have read, R business owners love their cheap illegal immigrant labor.  Farmers are telling their illegal immigrant workers not to worry because Trump isn't going after them. And indeed, Trump has stated the same:

[quote]At a roundtable on farm labor at the White House last month, Trump said he did not want to create labor problems for farmers and would look into improving a program that brings in temporary agricultural workers on legal visas.

About half of U.S. crop workers are in the country illegally and more than two-thirds are foreign born..

During the roundtable, Luke Brubaker, a dairy farmer from Pennsylvania, described how immigration agents had recently picked up half a dozen chicken catchers working for a poultry transportation company in his county.

The employer tried to replace them with local hires, but within three hours all but one had quit, Brubaker told the gathering at the White House.

Trump said he wanted to help and asked Secretary Perdue to look into the issues and come back with recommendations, according to the accounts. [/quote]

And also Trump's own businesses use cheap foreign workers. Given that more illegal immigrants overstay their visas, rather than cross the border illegally, and many of the larger businesses that hire these folks are Rs, seems to me that it's the R business owners that's creating the issue, not the D politicians.[/quote]
