This isn't too complex.
Employers by the thousands contribute to both parties, and in fact bankroll their campaigns etc. Dirt cheap labor is worth a fortune. These employers have no desire to see their low wage golden goose killed off and they'll pay big to make damn sure the borders remain lawless and wide open. It's why things like E-Verify are nothing but window dressing, voluntary not mandatory for employers. Look at your voting laws...Most are a joke designed to be compromised. And on and on and on...
There are many reasons why the Republican party has watched our borders and sovereignty totally deteriorate for 30++ years now. Even during war time, under Republican administrations.
All too true. The GOPe has aided and abetted illegal immigration ever since Reagan left office.
The 1986 bill, as bad and misguided as it was, at least had some teeth in it. But neither Bush, nor any Republican leader in Congress, did the slightest thing to enforce it. They had no intention to, and of course Bush the younger attempted to ram a second amnesty through.
The current GOPe crop is just as bad if not worse. Another amnesty and there won’t be any part of America that doesn’t resemble what California has become.
