As I understand it, there is not a legal industry in the US in which the number of illegal workers outnumber citizens. 

 

Illegal immigration benefits the rich and hurts the poor. That's why the left loves it.  

 

Notice that there are no riots in rich neighborhoods 

I agree. So why is President Trump now protecting millions of illegals?

Remember this? Only 10 years ago. They used to understand.

I wonder how the local farms will have people to harvest every year if all these migrants are thrown out! I can see food shortages coming soon! Trump is an imbecile that cannot think two days ahead!

Maybe they'll have to pay more.

what's sad it's the majority of people living in the USA wherever their ancestors came from, don't realize that without the temporary migrants from south of the border the USA economy wouldn't be as it is and that mostly applies to California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico just to mention a few and maga supporters should look back at their ancestors history, where they came from, legally or illegally, but they all should be ready to accept some big surprises

It is always amusing that when you complain that border is open, the left will call you a liar, and claim it is closed. 

Then when you show that the border is open, the left will blame Trump. 

Then when you show that it's not Trump's fault that the border is open, the left will start talking about how we need illegal immigrants to save the economy. 

So, what they are effectively saying that is that they want open borders and all the problems that come with it, for money. 

In any event, ten million illegal aliens in three years, and every one of them committed a crime when they crossed the border. 

So, ten million new low and no skilled "workers", that are often illiterate in their native tongue, and almost always illiterate in English, and that likely will never assimilate, and many of whom will be on some form of public assistance for life.  

 

They will:

-Put downward pressure on wages, which is great for the rich.

-Put upward pressure on housing costs, which is also great for the rich.

-Reduce the quality and availability of social services, which the rich do not care about.

-Increase the size of government, which will benefit many of the rich. 

-Overburden public schools, disproportionally forcing up the cost while at the same time reducing the quality, which the rich do not care about either.

Wonder no more. There is and  always will be a special seasonal visa for the various harvests for temporary workers from Mexico.

If they did not follow the immigration process, they are not law-abiding. 

Shall we surmise the list of native born Americans who have not absolutely followed the letter of the law (not law-abiding)? Start with the broken traffic laws, progress up through a bit of falsification on job records. Or can I just follow the example of the current occupant of the White House as being law-abiding? I agree Ted, we definitely need comprehensive immigrant reform. The current system with its delays, inability to carry out existing laws requiring due process cannot handle the current valid requests.

Right … and how many employers are responsible in filling out the required forms?
