Yeah, no kidding. They've been offered lots of ways of doing immigration reform and have zero interest. Also, they typically reject the idea of arresting and imprisoning the very top of companies that employ undocumented workers.
If they really meant what they say about how jobs are being "taken" from citizens, wouldn't they back such a thing? It'd be easy to shut down a lot of the employment of undocumented workers. Walk into Tyson or some other big company, arrest those at the very top (not low-level clerks; I'm talking C-suite people) and entertain the idea of REVOKING corporate charters of companies that do this.
All it would take is one extremely high-profile example and it would be a sea change. Do Republicans mean what they say, though? Of course not.
They know some industries don't have the labor and would crumble. They only care to the point that people at the bottom have someone to blame for their problems, and its not the ones actually causing harm. The 'they hate the same things as me' party.
Agreed, and these sick fascists have no problem streamrolling right over the people who vote them into office. It's amazing how many americans are willing to slit their own throats.
Back in the day, the Nazis would hold rallies in Communist neighborhoods. There'd be a riot, and the Nazis would make sure the locals got the blame. "Only a strong leader can prevent this chaos."
The unsaid GOP position isn't just to defend the border, but to completely stop all immigration of non-whites and non-Christians while deporting the ones who are here (legal or not). Anything less than that won't be enough for them.
But, perhaps like Roe vs. Wade, I think they want the (manufactured) constant fear of immigration looming over their voter base. I'd be willing to bet that many higher up R's know full well that immigrants play a vital role in the economy, and that the right-wing policies would hurt the country. But by all means, demonize and throw them under the bus in the name of activating your base.
Republicans - Chicken Littles every one - want disaster to prove them right. They ignore every word anybody says to them that isn't already something they say to themselves. It's like their consciousness is password operated. If you don't say the right words and mean the right things by them, they regard you as subhuman and just go back to doing whatever they were doing. All the "isms" are operating at full swing in their brains and there's not really anyone home, which is why they panic so easily, because it would be super embarrassing for it to be demonstrated that they have no idea what you're talking about or why it's important.
the only thing I've been getting from this shit show is Democrats teaming up with Republicans for anti-humanitarian efforts. They just get worse and worse.
Imagine if we started accepting immigrants as being human and worthy of respect. What a horror that would be - we'd have to take apart the wall that cost us all so much money and start accepting people as human beings worthy of dignity and honor and trust.
Odd isn't it when you realize that most of Western America was actually part of the country of Mexico not so long ago. It may be - now this is a radical statement - but it just may be, that we're all human beings and all these barriers and labels and divisions really should be gotten rid of for good.
The republicans do want a crisis. Illegal Migration is 100% a sign of a broken system immigration system, and we can change immigration anyway we want.
