The enforcement has gone well beyond the “worst criminal illegal aliens” and is being used on anyone, U.S. citizen or any alien who Trump does not like. Both parties need to get their act together and create a clear, and affordable, pathway to citizenship is needed by the U.S. to survive. The reality is the U.S. NEEDS these workers!!!!!

Correct. Both sides know that. They had a bi-partisan bill ready to go last summer before Trump torpedoed it so that he could use immigration as a campaign issue. Also, at what point do they add child-care workers, elder-case workers, carpenters, roofers, drywallers, etc. to the list of protected industries? These and other jobs are ones the average American don’t want to do.
Why is the US only able to “survive” with near-slave labor?
I agree that we can vastly improve our pathway to citizenship, but let’s face it: the fatcats (neocons and neolibs)who run food processing or the hospitality industry don’t WANT legal citizens. They want a fearful subclass who they can pay below the table, undercutting minimum wages, bypassing safety regulations, and eschewing taxes or other payments for federal benefits programs.
If these immigrants become naturalized citizens or even documented green-card workers, they’ll have the capacity to organize and fight for their rights, maybe even to unionize. The exact opposite of what the fatcats want so they can keep prices low, demand relatively high, and profits through the roof.
The popular leftie trope of “these are jobs Americans don’t want to do” is absolute hogwash.
John Steinbeck became a household name chronicling the lives of American farm workers. Cesar Chavez became a leftie hero by standing up for them IFF they were fellow US citizens. Americans will mop up other people’s vomit in hospitals, they’ll haul garbage until they smell like it even after a shower, they’ll endure privations in remote dangerous conditions drilling shale oil, they’ll poison their lungs to mine coals, they’ll spill their guts out in combat–if there’s commensurate financial reward.
Think of it this way: if Mom and Dad want a date night, they won’t be able to attract even the 11-year-old down the street if they offer a mere $1.50/hour to babysit their two kids for 4 hours. The 11-year-old would decide that an evening listening to Taylor Swift is a better use of their time. Mom and Dad would only be able to pay those wages if they magically teleport a worker from Gambia over here. Or, better yet, use the open borders we had from 2020 – 2024 and the Gambian worker will live in an overcrowded apartment complex half a mile away.
Why is it so hard to actually do things to make AMERICANS” lives easier? Why would you ever expect MAGA to recede when you so steadfastly refuse this simple concept?
The bi-partisan problem that has yielded the current political situation is the excessive regulation/taxation/bureaucraticization coming from the neo-libs and Dems, combined with the complaisance and slimy workaround for those regulations accepted by the neo-cons and GOPs. The big loser: the American blue-collar worker.
As usual, Lauren, too many errors in your manifesto to take the time to dismantle your logic.
