Would there be so many border crossers if there wasn't a 'market' for them on the US side?

13. Exploit, abuse, under pay, sexually abuse...YES! That is why many US employers LOVE undocumented workers

Such incentives would shrink if more, most, or hopefully ALL Illegal EMPLOYERS were treated to the full extent of violating laws.

Need workers? Give Dreamers, who were brought here as kids and have been responsible citizens, CITIZENSHIP! Many Dreamers were so young when brought here that they do not even remember anything about where they were born. Many of them only speak English and when 'caught & deported' are left adrift with no way to really live in a nation that is completely foreign to them.

GOP wants to force women have babies whether they want to or not and whether they can afford to or not, because 'WE NEED MORE PEOPLE'. There are a lot of better ways to solve the crisis they claim is happening in the labor market. There are PEOPLE who want to come to this nation and work, pay taxes, and spend their incomes on the same things the rest of us do. Why the big fuss about people crossing the border? Could it be skin tone? Yeah, that and a steaming heaping helping of monied donors who LOVE having undocumented workers to exploit. Plus, not allowing sensible immigration policies allows the GOP pols to wring their hands, spread fear and rally low info and racist voters.

There is enough for everyone, if we insist those who abuse and exploit to get more than they need just stop that crap.
