[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m ok with the e-verify program. Is there a reason why these workers can’t use it?[/quote]

Sure, for the ones who are here legally, but the legal route is for people with money, degrees, and connections. Not for poor workers even though there is a demand for their labor. [/quote]

So why are the Dems not loudly, repeatedly calling for reform to This. One. Particular.  Point??  Dems need to create a platform and talking points about immigration that (a) solve the walking across the border claiming asylum but really you're an economic migrant looking for work $hitshow that we have now --- which is horrible for economic migrants and even more horrible for true asylum seekers whose lives are in danger and they get thrown into this mix.

We need a system where lots and lots of people can apply to come here and come here legally as highly educated workers, workers in every industry er have that needs foreign born and educated additional labor (medicine, nursing, computing, engineering, whatever), PLUS an updated farm worker program, construction worker program, elderly aide worker program.  Identify the areas, create the visas, and spend the subsequent $$ enforcing the coming and going within the program (going Ie not overstaying your visa and be staying here forever).  This is truly one of the areas where government NEEDS to work properly and efficiently and in a well funded manner.  All parties have been failing at this since the last massive immigration reform in 1965, but dems could so easily make so many more policy decisions and take so many more policy positions that that they have inexplicably failed to take, even when they have controlled Congress and the White House.  Moderation and sanity in this realm would go so far in bringing American voters to their side too.  Instead each party is so dug in on their respective RW/LW side that no one is proposing actual policy reform that addresses American workforce needs and appeals to business and the American middle class.  Ridiculous. [/quote]
