30. I know several Dems in border states who feel this way

They think that overlooking illegal immigration not only takes jobs away from Americans, they think it drives down wages. They frame the debate this way: it's not that illegal aliens are taking the jobs Americans don't want to take, it's that, by working for lower wages, they're making jobs Americans WOULD take pay lower, thus, making them less attractive.
