And most of those people who do oppose it are racist idiots anyway, so nobody listens to them.

I have nothing against immigrants. I don't want them to be an underclass. I want them to work hard and do well in this country as generations of immigrants before them have. Illegal immigrants are a very different matter.
Sure will, ya socialist hippies! It'll discriminate against illegal immigrants, for the benefit of legal immigrants and their descendants.
The left is going to use the low pay and poverty of foreigners as an excuse to install another round of wealth transfer programs in the name of race.
