It puts downward pressure on wages. That pressure is way overblown by Republicans and there are plenty of solutions to address it that don't involve sending icestapo in to break up families though.
Pretending that this pressure doesn't exist just makes people like us who want to stop this seem out of touch to the normal person who has concerns about immigration, which the election showed is a very large chunk of Americans and westerners in general.
These concerns should be addressed by showing the relative magnitude of the problem compared to benefits gained from immigration along with solutions for stagnating wages, not outright dismissal.
This is not the fault of immigrants. It's the fault of billionaires exploiting one of the most vulnerable people in the country for profit. It only exists because of capitalist greed.
No, this one can't solely be blamed on billionaires. They're hired by all manner of private companies, the majority of which are not owned by billionaires.
Agreed. Glad I can count on you not to vote Democrat or Republican ever again.
First of all, no, all illegal are not hired by billionaires, that a really stupid thing to think.
Second, Republicans are the ones who took healthcare from 17 million Americans to give tax cuts to billionaires. So take your "both sides" bullshit and shove it.
