If (from a previous comment by PeteB570) the GOPe is big business and big business wants lots of low skilled labor to drive down employment costs, how does this help the Republicans at the ballot box?
It doesn't!
So more Democrats get elected who are anti-big business.
So this does not ultimately help big business as well.
So this will not help the Republican party short or long term. Nor will it ultimately help big business. So why is there such a push for this now, or better, RIGHT NOW!?
I believe in the long run, citizenship for illegals would hurt the illegals themselves and the countries they come from. After they made America a one party system with a leftist supermajority, and those leftists go beyond obamacare and borrow even more money, destroying the economic engine, they would have killed their own golden goose. Where will they go to get jobs then?
