America was built on immigration, so by your logic, the founding fathers were also “trash.” Anyways, if we deported every illegal immigrant it would absolutely destroy the economy. 😗
Crazy you think the immigration is the same now as in the 17-18 hundreds. But anyway, you know who Democrats paid to smuggle here back then, slaves. I'm 100% ok with legal immigration... that's not what this was.
Yeah I understand that, and understand there was a major shift in both political parties after the civil war, when the Republican Party split during reconstruction. Policies around immigration didn’t change until the Chinese exclusion act, because white men thought they were stealing their jobs.
It’s funny how really only the narrative has changed, but in terms of class consciousness, things have gotten worse. The whole “us” vs “them” narrative was created to enforce white supremacy.
Also, legal immigration has major hurdles and is purposely meant to be difficult. It’s much easier to exploit the labor of illegal immigrants. We need immigration reform, not mass deportations. Especially considering the inhumanities of the deportation process.

Hope their hiding skills are good. There's a long time left before the next election.
