I think it should be much easier for law-abiding and productive immigrants to gain citizenship than it currently is. If we can do that, I am fine with prosecuting and tossing out the rest.
It's a big game. The UniParty and Wall Street want an unlimited supply of cheap labor, and Democrats want to rig elections for decades (including Amnesty).
Democrats abandoned the middle class and blue collar Americans for POC and unlimited illegal immigration, rigged voter roles, elections, etc.
We allow over one million legal residents entry per year, plus various visas, H1B visas, student viseas, etc.
The UniParty and MSM also lie about the true illegal immigrant count which is easily somewhere between 35 and 50 million. (Ivy League academic research estimate + Autopen importing 10-21 million more.)
If you tell Americans we have, say, 45 million illegal immigrants, 300,000 missing children, the average uneducated illiterate illegal immigrant costing us $800K to $1 million per treaspasser, etc., they likely would demand serious policies and actions. They don't want that. They want short term fixes, corporate American wants its next quarter to look good.
Just like Ukraine. They won't tell us there are 1.2 to 1.3 million dead Ukrainians, 200K plus amputees, no hope of winning, etc. They want $$$ and control and MIC games.
And why are we spending $1 Trillion per year on military, 400 - 700 military bases around the world?
Insanity.
