“I just don’t understand why the big push for amnesty when actual citizens are having a hard time. If the people want it so bad please move into a neighborhood with them and live there for a few yrs.”
Amnesty has nothing to do with the “hard time” citizens are experiencing. The fact is that without mass immigration (legal or otherwise), whole areas would be depopulated and whole school districts would close. The government bureaucracy (in particular, the teachers’ unions) would never allow that to happen. The immigrants aren’t here as workers; they are here as consumers (not just of goods, but of gubmint services). Without them, the poverty and education industries collapse.
That’s a solid thought - but what does the chamber of commerce have to do with those areas of bureaucracy?
