    That sounds like all the more reason to be for legal immigration and against illegal immigration.

      All the more reason to be for legalizing immigration and against illegalizing immigration.

      Focusing on the immigrants rather than the system puts the blame in the wrong place, and obfuscates solutions to the problem.

      The GOP won’t pass legislation for more legal immigration. Our economy relies on immigrants, so it means that we are reliant on illegal immigration to function.

      What I don’t understand is why Republicans are against having a permanent legally exploitable underclass which is what we currently have.

        “They’re taking away our jobs!” ? Although I think it’s about power - if you’re not reliant on other countries, then you don’t have to take other things into consideration. You can be selfish and do selfish things.

          …but we are reliant on other countries. We import over 15% of our food and these changes are going to drastically reduce our output. We will only start relying more on other countries.

      You seem pretty confident that’s the end goal of the politicians.
