Interpret this:
Keeping America competitive requires an immigration system that upholds our laws, reflects our values, and serves the interests of our economy. Our nation needs orderly and secure borders. (Applause.) To meet this goal, we must have stronger immigration enforcement and border protection. (Applause.) And we must have a rational, humane guest worker program that rejects amnesty, allows temporary jobs for people who seek them legally, and reduces smuggling and crime at the border. (Applause.)
Stop lying, pbrown; you're better than that.
Those are his words.
Which set of immigrants are we having a problem with, legal or illegal? I would say the legal immigrants are doing it as it should be done and are contributing to our country by paying into our economical system. The illegal ones are not. Now which one would Americans choose to say that were bad for the economy? When last I heard we had tens of millions of illegals here doing jobs Americans won't do.
Why would he make a statement about a group of immigrants that were helping our economy? I interrupted his comment to be focused on the illegal immigrants since those are the groups that are hurting our infrastructure. No one is suggesting that legal immigrants be thrown out of the country, they aren't the problem.
