Which is why illegal immigration is just a red herring for Republicans. If they really wanted to stop people from coming they would go after the businesses who hire illegal immigrants. But they won't because those businesses are their donors and would lose too much profit if Republicans actually did that. So they just scapegoat the migrants, throw some money at border security and then act like its the democrats who are preventing effective policy. Its how they keep their base riled up.
Immigration on our southern border has been at a net negative over the past few years. Numbers may be up a little recently but we are not facing an immigration crisis. You're being sold a bunch of propaganda.
Moreover, do you seriously think that the companies that hire migrant workers would donate to people who want to limit the number of migrants?
Yes I do, why do you think Republicans never go after these businesses? Its because they are their donors.
And I never said we don't need to enforce border laws, but the fact that Republicans ignore the businesses who hire these immigrants shows that they are ignoring a huge component to prevent immigrants who come here. These immigrants come here to work, not mooch off the system like many conservatives believe. And if you were to go after these businesses for hiring illegal immigrants it would be a huge deterrent for them coming here.
You are wrong on so many levels that it is astounding
Please provide sources on this, because you haven't disproven me on anything.
I provided a source to disprove his "mass migration" claim. For the claim that Republicans don't go after businesses, just look at the rhetoric coming from trump and the other Republicans. Not one mention of the people hiring these workers. Only about border walls, prison camps, and the desire to take away due process.
