That's far more understandable than Jeb and Kasich shilling for their cheap labor paymasters or Cruz who wanted (until he started campaigning) increased H1B Visas, five fold, which provide legal labor to undermine US middle class workers, but which is horribly and cynically overused by businesses.
I see no reason to have compassion for those who have broken our laws for decades only because they have ripped us off for a long time. They should get in line like everybody else.
