In other words, Marxists love to look at the economic rationale of a situation rather than the moral or ethical perspective.

So, in other words, economics is a Marxist science, since looking at things from an economic perspective is Marxist.

As for straw man arguments, I'm not "justifying" illegal immigration on economic grounds. I'm pointing out that no solution that ignores the economics of the situation will work. As long as there is an economic incentive to come here, illegals will continue to pour in, regardless of any barriers you try to set up. Only solutions that eliminate this economic incentive will work, and I suggest: eliminating welfare, health care, housing, and jobs for illegals. Effective in keeping illegals out and giving the ones already here incentive to self-deport.

And build a wall too. And strip green cards and citizenship from legal immigrants who employ illegal immigrants. Then deport them

Dear Mr. Budd,

I got off on the wrong foot with you. My apologies. We are of one mind. (Though we still need that damned fence.)

Best regards,
