"because despite the rhetoric, without them, the economy would take a huge hit"
I think its important to note that this was Democrats justification of slavery during the civil war as well.
- AsyncAwait 9y agoYeah, that was my point. Illegal immigrants are often exploited in similar ways, absolutely true, that is why officials don't use all the resources available to go after them, despite the rhetoric. It says nothing about their reasoning being just or altruistic, (which it isn't).
- conanbatt 9y agoThe similarity is that the oppression is now done by the state, so its much harder to fight. The difference is that the illegal immigrant does have a choice and prefers to be an illegal immigrant than a legal resident of their home.
