I presume that Smith heard from the moonbat belt (Interstate 5) as well. The libs hate this bill as much as the conservatives, for all the wrong reasons, of course.
Not all of the reasons given by the left are wrong. Two reasons I can think of where the left is correct are:
1. Rampant immigration is going to (and already has) depressed wages for people without college degrees. The trade unions have been coming out against these bills as they hear from more and more of their members just how many illegals have taken jobs (well paying jobs) from the trades on construction sites.
2. The environmental aspect isn’t far off base. From the trash strewn through public lands near the borders, to the crush on natural resources in the west (esp. water), there is no doubt that the southwest/west is quickly reaching ‘carrying capacity’ in some areas. Adding more people is simply not good long-term policy.
