Is this a surprise? This is hardly anything new. The United States was built with slavery.

So do you support building an even higher wall, and doing even more deportations, to keep the so-called "slaves" out?

If the US is so "exploitative", we should be keeping illegal immigrants out for their safety.

  • Generally, republicans want lots of illegals for two reasons… first, cheap labor. Second, it’s a drum to bang during election season.

    And democrats only halfway want to fix it. If they actually succeed, they also lose a drum. And have to pay more for chicken and oranges.

    Making non-immigrant visa or work permits easy to obtain would be trivial (relative to other gov endeavors). But we don’t. I’m left to conclude the political elite on both sides like it this way.
