It's not just about immigration or illegal immigration

Okay, it's not "just" about that, but over ten million illegals is a huge factor that has cascading consequences, and a commensurate impact on employment. Period.

And so does our manic obsession with promoting free trade policy, especially within this party.

Conservatives used to laugh at Democrats because they were incapable of understanding that you can't have employees without having employers.

Now we laugh at the anti-illegals, anti-business crowd that can't understand it.

Without a plentiful supply of labor, businesses cannot expand.

States that are immigrant friendly, such as Texas and California are prospering, those that are immigrant hostile are not.

The rust belt states will never learn that the weather hasn't changed in two hundred years, only their anti-business attitude has changed.
