Furthermore, unemployment and underemployment is highest among unskilled and semi-skilled workers, who do precisely the types of jobs that the illegals do. It also gives the lie to the mantra that "illegals do the jobs Americans won't do," when there are millions who are trying to get those jobs. What it really means is that Americans won't do these jobs for Third World wages.
There's also the fact that our emergency rooms are clogged with illegals who use the ER as all-purpose free clinics, and expense that gets passed on to the rest of us via healthcare providers and insurers.
It's hilarious to hear liberal Democrats go around pretending to be "friends of the worker" and "friends of the poor" when they (and their pro-cheap labor GOP collaborators) want to flood the country with illegal immigrants. Evidently, accelerating America's changing ethnic and cultural demographic trumps being a "friend of the working man" for Democrats, just as cheap labor trumps conserving our identity as a nation for establishment Republicans.
Entirely correct, and people like Rubio, Bush want to reveal to the voters how much their hearts aches, how much anguish they undergo, for the downtrodden, as long as the downtrodden are not American downtrodden. When George W Bush was president, about the only time I ever saw him animated was when he was talking about immigration.
