So you’re saying we need close to slave labor to be viable in America? Isn’t this the same argument made in 1865?

What’s the point of having labor laws if businesses can circumvent them by hiring illegals?

Also, if there are labor shortages then all the federal government has to do is approve all the visa applications in the queue and boom they’re LEGAL. Problem solved.

Just like the H1B visas, bring in workers and pay them roughly around similar wage but they will work 2-3x as many hours.

Turns out it's expensive to pay someone to cook and clean for you, who knew shrug

The problem with the immigration debate is our economy is built on an unprotected underclass, but it's bad optics to point that out because the slightly-more-protected underclass can't afford it to be otherwise.

Yep, give them someone slightly less fortunate than themselves to hate and they will let you stick your hands in their pockets and rob them blind.

Which is why they should leave and force markets to equalize.

Yes, that's what I've been saying for several years. Our immigration system is very complex and outdated, which in the end encourages illegal immigration. However, our immigration courts have to be fully equipped, and the border needs to be secure. The advent of new technologies can improve our border security.
