Control of the supposed "problem" begins and ends with white employers. No work for them here, many simply go back home. Fact is, we need them for economic reasons. We're not going to "white birth rate" ourselves out of these demographic trends. Nor should we. This whole issue is a failure of government to rationally organize the immigration we desperately need. Republicans will not allow that to happen because......

....this is all about performative cruelty driven by white supremacy masquerading as immigration control. It's all about putting brown people back under the thumb, where their very existence in this country is by the leave and whims of white people. And I mean ALL brown people. Not just the undocumented. Do you really think what happened to Senator Padilla would have ever happened to a white Democratic Senator? Not in a 1,000 years.
