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.

Unbridled horsesh*t.
Zero facts, all pontification.
California is one of the least prosperous states in the union, heavily in debt; and has defaulted on many muni bonds. Rating? Junk.
Rust belt states remain so largely due to union stasis.
And very few are laughing, you and oneceler to the contrary.
You wouldn't know pro business crowds if you fell into one.
