The left wants to end illegal immigration. They want to disolve the border altogether.
Rather than stop the illegal immigrants from coming here illegally, they just want to call them legal residents who should be able to vote and steal IDs at will.
They aren’t interested in actually becoming citizens. Citizens have to pay taxes and are fingerprinted when they are arrested and are subject to the death penaltiy while citizens of other countries who commit capital crimes here are not (international law).
It doesn’t pay to be a citizen of the USA anymore. Others here have more rights and protections.
You are exactly on target!
Unfortunately, there is a portion of the right--the Big Business portion--that is also opposed to our cracking down on the illegals. And between these two unlikely bedfellows--the transnationalists on the left, who view national sovereignty as a mere social construct (and an intolerable one, at that); and the cheap-labor cheerleaders on a portion of the right--well, the prospects for our turning back the illegals do not appear so good.
