I don’t disagree with anything you said, except maybe a little matter of degree here or there. Bottom line? Especially regarding our workforce, which degraded due to rich government hand outs, powerful unions, a gimme mentality and ADHD etc.
This situation has evolved over 50-60 years - with a porous border. What we have now is the result of supply and demand playing out, including on the consumer end. To try and devolve it quickly would punish each and every one of us. Something to think about.
Agreed. But we are all being punished right now: higher local taxes, overwhelmed local schools, hospitals overflowing, hospitals bankrupted, not to mention higher crime rates. The short-term "punishment" resulting from a drop in the supply of illegal labor would be more than offset by a great many pluses.
