Amnesty or no enforcement.
That has always been the position of the Cheap Labor Express.
Amnesty is as much for the employers of illegal aliens as it is for the illegal aliens.
This is exactly like slave-owners making their economic case for slavery. It took a bloody war to disabuse them of their nonsense. Will it take another one?
Slave-owners at least acknowledged that they were responsible for their slaves and their actions. That makes them honorable compared to today’s Cheap Labor Express.
