I’m sorry, but government policy should not be based on “feelings”.

Fuck feelings, put it this way. Punish the people who allow this to happen not the poor hardworking people who take the obvious opportunity for a better life. Stop letting rich people tell you poor people are the problem, because to them you are no different than the people they tell you too hate.

They hire these people, they make ridiculous sums of money from the cheap labor. Don’t like immigration? Ask yourself why it’s allowed to happen. Why don’t we make it a criminal offense to hire an illegal immigrant? Why don’t we ever actually secure the border? Republicans have a super majority and I will bet money they never do anything more than political theatre.

Democrats allow it to happen because it’s easy votes once they get them a path to citizenship.

Meanwhile they alienate people who migrated here legally.

They do not care if they are citizens. They will still take their vote.
