We talk about the legal workforce because it is the very "closed borders" situation that has resulted in the current problem. Economics 101 will teach you all about it.

Why can the people that hire migrants get away with the cheap price they do? Because the migrants are so afraid of getting turned in they dare not say anything. Why do they stay? Because if they go home, they know they might never get another chance at work here.


Thinking "more immigrants = bad" is such simplistic thinking it should be embarrassing.

Also, it is very much about race. How do I know? because my husband is an immigrant, a British legal immigrant. And I get more shit than he does because I am an American who happens to be of Mexican descent.
