I don't see much action, though.
When Democrats focus on Mexican immigrants and ignore immigrants of other nationalities, it amounts to racial preference.
Agree with you. This was true back in the 1980s as well. I was dating a young Mexican lady in Dallas at the time. She and her whole family were here legitimately, green cards, and brought in a business. They did custom hand worked carpentry and carving for architectural fixtures. They employed a half dozen people and paid taxes - all above board, all legit.
All of them were applying for US citizenship, and were passed over in precedence by the Kennedy amnesty sham. Man were they angry. And why not? I lost track of them over the years, but they were considering a return to Mexico and an expanded business over there the last I knew.
Honest, productive, hardworking and self sufficient; desiring to become Americans. Passed over for sad faced mojados who celebrate Cinco de Mayo and protest American flags on American soil.
Mexico alone gets about 25% of all legal immigration. This is outrageous favoritism.
“The best way for Republicans to handle the immigration issue is to aggressively promote a new immigration policy that brings in skilled people and workers. “
No it isn’t. If they want to survive they need to dismantle the 1965 Immigration Act and enact a 20 year moratorium on all immigration. That 1965 law set in motion forces that have dramatically altered the composition of the country.
Look at the demographic change in California from 1980 to 2012 to see why a state that elected Ronald Reagan is now an Obama stronghold.
