We have millions of American citizens who can't even find a job....
..we are not in a position to keep the millions of illegals here or invite more.
It is WRONG!
You’re confusing several things.
1. The inability to get a job is a government created problem. Scarcity is the steady state of nature. Shortfalls that persist are always caused by government action. The story behind the jobs picture is all government sponsored.
2. Legal immigration is lengthy and difficult. It does need reform. We shouldn’t make legal immigrants work harder to become citizens than we do illegal immigrants. The current legal immigration system is flawed. We need and should want new immigrants. What we don’t want are welfare mooches and crony capitalists.
3. Illegal immigrants are mainly Mexican. If you were to simply reform welfare systems and punish “sanctuary” cities by withdrawing federal funds for these abuses, most would self-select to go home.
Conservatives won’t win the above without significant broad support and there won’t be any meaningful or beneficial reform with Obama and the Democrats holding power.
