On the one hand you demand $15/hr minimum wage and on the other advocate for illegal immigrants that will do the same job for half the pay under the table.

the liberals and some conservatives want the illegal immigrants to be normalized so that employers will have to pay them minimum wage above board.
it's only the very nihilistic, wealthy conservatives that want to continue being able to pay them at half price under the table.

Lol.  When those liberals had 60 votes the house and the white house how'd the whole legalization thing work out?  Lol

Contrary to popular belief, the illegal aliens (immigrants) coming across the border are not here because they are fleeing a hostile government, they are here (allegedly) to live a better life.  It's not just maids or farm labor coming across the border.  The illegals coming through both ports of entry and by other means are not good.

This article will be dismissed by the usual liberals, but it does give a good picture of what/whom is coming across.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/border-...nde-valley

"Asylum" is usually interpreted as a request to legally remain in the jurisdiction you've entered because you have a credible fear of great harm if you're returned to your home jurisdiction. If Mrs. Bender pulls out a shotgun and tells me that I've left dishes in the sink for the last time, I'd probably go to my neighbor's house and request asylum.

That scenario doesn't qualify.  It's state sponsored violence or oppression based on political or religious beliefs & you would knock on ur neighbors door not break in and hold his familyfamily hostage.

No one wants open borders.  Stop making up false dilemmas and false dichotomies

ohostage.on track for 1 million apprehensions and that correlates to an estimated 2 million illegals that cross the border that didn't get caught.  Something has to be done about it.
