Conservative Atheism

[Harry Nevis]

you are talking about allowing a permanent underclass
A lot of illegals die just getting here.
When they do get here they are often exploited by unscrupulous employers

Employers who hire illegals, are competing at an unfair advantage and that artificially keeps profits and wages low.  Ask any legitimate roofing contractor what they think about illegal immigration, that industry has been all but gutted buy exploiting companies who pay immigrants far below market wage for their labor.  Illegals are paid very close to the same take home as regular labor, but the employer saves on not having to match SS, and med, and they are not paying withholding taxes on the illegals.  They are paid in cash, under the table.

The only reason this continues is that immigration law has not been enforced.

If illegal immigration were drastically slowed down, and the illegals deported we would see a labor shortage.  A labor shortage leads to decreased profits that leads to a lobby getting a law passed to allow immigrant labor into the US in some sort of a legal manner.

In the end we would still end up with large amounts of immigrant labor but they would not be exploited.

This happens when the law is followed, not when we exploit them.

I question anyone who voted for Trump and voices concern over immigrants.
