    No, but they have just gotten more power than they ever have. I dont know why any republican here thinks deportaion and tax cuts for the wealthy will "fix" America but here we are.

    The wage argument is a fair point but its a very different than supporting mass deportation like we talked about before.

    A LOT of illegal immigrants will be deported at this rate, many of them not criminals. Okay forget about the wealthy, do you think getting rid of the immigrants will create more jobs and make the economy better? Is that what you think?

    Why be rude to me? Did I ever name call you? You brought up a woman who was murdered by an illegal immigrant saying this was how illegal immigration affected her life. The problem is, that argument is just punishing a group of people for one guy being a murderer. Do you see what my point is now?

    So, what you're saying is... we should have fair pay and minimum wage laws, and laws that prevent having children in the workplace, but then we should hire illegal aliens who disregard and break those laws... and we should do that in order to keep costs down? Are you saying that?

    So let me get this straight—your issue is that undocumented immigrants are taking jobs and breaking labor laws to keep costs down, but the reality is a bit more complicated. Most of these workers aren’t the ones setting the rules; it’s employers hiring them to exploit cheaper labor. You’re mad at the immigrants, but the real issue is companies taking advantage of the system to avoid paying fair wages or following labor laws.
    And about wages being lower—sure, undocumented workers can push wages down in certain low-skill industries, but let’s not pretend they’re taking jobs most people are lining up for. Do you really think Americans are jumping at the chance to pick crops, clean hotel rooms, or work grueling construction jobs for the same pay? They’re filling gaps, not stealing opportunities.

    If you want fair pay and better jobs, the focus should be on cracking down on the businesses cutting corners and exploiting people—not scapegoating immigrants who are just trying to survive.

    Depends. People often describe some that have temporary legal status as illegal.

    Wait, being a criminal matters?

    Trump is a criminal - a convicted rapist.

    The 14th amendment should not allow him to serve, but you guys really don't care about laws etc....lol....just a bunch of hypocritical bullshit when convenient.

    if illegal immigrants are criminals and should b punished via deportation, how come folks arent coming in with the same energy to punish the companies and farms that hire illegal immigrants? Funding and paying the illegal immigrants to live in our country

    Essentially using criminals for cheap labor. If illegal immigrants are such a huge issue, start fining companies and punishing them when they are using illegal immigrants. deporting them isn't gonna solve the problem if companies are always willing to hire more illegal immigrants to cut cost

    I get where you are coming from but I think it's two separate issues. We should have fair pay and minimum wage laws. But people that are complaining about the economy and inflation will need to understand that undocumented workers help keep prices down. So both can be talked about as separate issues.

    I've always said this. It's like deporting all the mules and drug dealers on a street corner, but gifting their supplier boss the get out of jail free card most of the time, slapping him with a fine, and letting him keep his business running. He will just hire more expendables, pay the fine, and carry on.

    Then again, those with money grease the palms of those who can be bribed. I don't doubt for a second there are plenty of filthy rich corporate farmers, factory owners, and business owners exploiting those illegals in desperation of a job and place to live. Don't you think imprisoning CEOs and business owners of companies that hire illegal immigrants would be a huge deterrent to them doing it?
