One little problem — the GOP, pushed by the Chambers of Commerce, are wanting amnesty/open borders just as much as the Dems are — for different reasons.
GOP — to placate the Chambers of Commerce and employers with low-skilled, cheap labor.
Dems — LIV voters.
You are absolutely right on that. The Republican elites are apparently beholden to commercial interests that are addicted to cheap, easily exploited labor.
Hence, I continue to maintain that illegal immigration only benefits the elites on both sides of the border.
