I swear, if it was up to Democrats and the Left, anyone and everyone could just live here whenever they want. Trump is talking about deporting ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Only in the United States is this so controversial. Go to any country on Earth, and try to live there without becoming a citizen, and see how long you last. Democrats seem to think the country will fall apart and blow itself up without illegals...
Legal immigration in the U.S. is heavily restricted with extremely low caps that aren't even high enough to support our agriculture industry. I personally think this is on purpose so that industry can easily underpay and exploit undocumented workers. And yes, the economy would collapse without the all the undocumented workers; the "age" of our population is quite high. Here's an article from a very conservative think tank (which I normally wouldn't trust) that describes the situation: Why Legal Immigration Is Nearly Impossible.
Anyways, it's futile trying to stop immigration. Desperate people will take desperate actions to improve the lives of themselves and their families. It will only get worse as the climate changes causes drought, famine, and otherwise unlivable conditions in parts of the world.
Everyone is in favor of legal immigration, that's never been the issue for any Republican. It's those who have entered here illegally, and/or are still here illegally, that has become an issue.
Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Unless they don't jump through all the right arbitrary legal hoops, in that case fuck 'em.
"Since our immigration policies aren't convenient for everyone, just come on over!" Said NO COUNTRY EVER.
I swear if it was up to Democrats and the Left, anyone and everyone could just cross the road whenever they want. I am talking about killing JAYWALKERS. Only in the United States is this so controversial. Go to any country in Earth and try to cross the road without a marked crossing and see how long you last. Democrats seems to think the country will fall apart and blow itself up without Jaywalkers.
Not sure what your point is here...that illegal immigration should just be tolerated all over the world, because it's not a big deal? In that case...why even have countries... emma right?
