I have always thought those that support illegal immigration ARE racist and conversations with them has not changed my mind. Supporting illegal immigration is racist and is as close as you can get to slavery conditions.

Back in the 1850s a big argument slave owners used to use was they couldn't afford to employ free blacks or whites on the plantations, because the wages would put them out of business. How many times have we heard that same argument used to justify the current broken immigration system? We had a civil war that proved how bogus that argument was.

Oh yes all those businesses would just fold up if they couldn’t hire illegals. Problem with that argument is when the government actually does a big workplace raid and detains all the illegals then citizens line up for their jobs.
