I think what Ann is saying that wages have to go up even if it is a socialist at the helm. I am not ready to go that far but SHE HAS A POINT.
She has a point tangentially, but her argument to support socialism as a cross-purpose to address the problem of illegal immigration is a false premise. As you mention, it helps speed the path of socialism and getting that genie back in the bottle is difficult. People vote in socialism, but they have to shoot their way out.
I am not supporting Trump's visible lack of progress here by any means. I also don't believe that Trump's wall idea (if it isn't something more than a bomb to throw into a campaign crowd for electioneering-purposes) will solve the problem.
What needs to happen is to simply begin enforcing the laws we already have. The labor pool for illegal immigrants needs to dry up. It's the only thing that will slow or stop them from coming.
Throwing a few CEOs in jail for violating hiring laws will send a very potent message to the rest, and only then will we see a real turn-around. No wall required.
And no socialism, either...
