[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the truth is that nobody wants them really.
Some are just afraid to say it and then they get busloads dumped on them. Their electorate wants them to welcome immigrants (just not on their street). 
Too many people are abusing the legal Avenue of asking for asylum since they have a bogus claim but they can wait for years to get their hearing. I heard there’s no last in first to trial (and hopefully out) policy but not sure.
They have to wait for a few months or a year for their work permit so before that they work under the table (and sometimes after but they have the option to pay taxes and work legally).
There needs to be a law change. It’s like birthright citizenship that is legal but has become a loophole.

We do actually want them.  Have you peeked into a restaurant kitchen, construction site, et cetera?  We gainfully employ them by the millions.  As such the better answer would be to fix the visa program so they can come here legally and work.  And at the same time, fix the system for dealing with asylees.  Republicans have refused to provide much needed funding and resources to speed up hearings and deportations so that there isn't a massive backlog forcing us to just turn them loose and ask them to show up for a hearing date 2 years out.  Why can't we do any of that?[/quote]

Yes, maybe you are right and “we” want them. But definitely not their multiple kids who need to be educated. I agree that a 1 yr visa program where you can’t bring family would be ideal, with a cool off period like some of the J1 visas have where you have to stay home for a couple years before reapplying. There also needs to be enforcement of visa overstay prevention. Actual enforcement where visas can ge checked and people detained and deported. 
As for Republicans refusing to provide funding, I don’t know much, but was their main issue that some or all of those who got here illegally would be given avenue towards legal status? If yes, I absolutely agree that it shouldn’t be the case. No legal status to anyone who got here illegally. Zero tolerance. [/quote]
