Makes perfect sense if you’re a fascist Democrat looking for masses of voters who will be dependent upon the state and thus beholden to it.
We have MS-13 problem everywhere, not just Loa Angeles. They are bad export from El Salvador, but Juarez Mexico and south LA are scary. 12 million people are washing clothes, cooking meals, mowing lawns, doing roofs. Statistics from census and bank loan default rates do show 1st generation (not 3rd) are best workers, lowest default, most successful small business persons. You want tax money and to sell 6 million houses and cars right away and soak demand, everyone with new SSN can get mortgage. I know not a popular idea, but maybe a good economic one, happened after Reagan amnesty also. Just a thought.
