Oh, please. They are busily ignoring what a huge majority of the country wants, and refusing to enforce the immigration laws.
Read the polls .. and read history. The nation is evenly divided on immigration. And it is the issue that will decide votes for a very few voters.
I would remind you that William Jennings Bryan believed the public did not want illegal immigration 100 years ago. Back then the law was clear .. those wanting to immigrate into the USA had to have permission from their native land and a legal birth cirtificate from their native land.
A huge number of people arrived in the USA with out either of those papers. Italians were a large number of those who arrived With Out Papers. But we let them in anyway.
That is why Italians Americans were called the derogatory name of WOP.. They entered the USA illegally.. WITH OUT PAPERS... The anacronym for With Out Papers is WOP. We let them in and called them a derogatory name.
William Jennings Bryan ran for president on that issue 3 times. He got the crap beat out of him.
The anti immigration people will be defeated as well
Politicians are not stupid... Just because anti-immigration people claim to be a majority, does not mean those in office believe them. Those opposed to immigration have claimed majority status when they didn't even come close to having it far too many times. And if those that entered 100 years ago entered legally as claimed... explain why they were called WOPs.
Some very loud people tried to keep the Irish out of the USA in the 1840s. They even put up signs.. no Irish Need Apply. But there were more voters who wanted the cheap labor and cheap goods they produced than wanted the jobs that they took. At the end of the 1840s there were more Irish in the USA than in Ireland.
Imimgration went through the roof in the late 1800s and William Jennings Bryan got totally defeated on the issuse.
Right now politicians know that unless we grealy increase the number of younger workers paying Social Security this nation will go bankrupt.... With options of a likely failure of our government or the adoption of a policy of killing old people to reduce the medicare and Social Security tax bills.
The European governments are trying to solve that problem by importing Muslims... Why do you think they allow so many Muslims in european countries? We are trying to solve the problem with Mexican workers.
The most likely solution if you succeed, is a liberal supreme court to rule that old people are too senile to vote. Then they will pass laws killing people who need to draw benefits to live.
If we do not import enough workers to pay the taxes for Social Security and medicare, our nation will be killing old people to reduce the demand for benefits.
Do you think the gal that chooses to abort( kill ) her own baby would not vote to have you killed to reduce her taxes?
