Student remarks on the current politics of immigration
Dear Editor,
One prominent politician has said, “Our immigration system is broken, and everybody knows it.” Families who enter our country the right way and play by the rules watch others flout the rules. Business owners who offer their wages good wages benefits see the competition exploit undocumented immigrants by paying them far less.”
If it was Trump that said this, then there would be no doubt that the leftists would rally, calling him a totalitarian, nationalist Nazi. Sorry to disappoint your ego leftists: this quote was from Obama, [one of] the leaders against the of the resistance against Trump’s border wall.
Quoting from the Democrats from a few years ago, border security is “common sense” and something that a “majority of Americans support.”
If you think that the wall is a waste of tax money, then take a look at Ted Cruz’s “El Chapo Proposal”: Take a portion of the 14 billion dollars confiscated from El Chapo’s criminal empire and use it to fund the wall. Not a single penny spent from the taxpayers’ dollars, and in a way Mexico is paying for the wall. What astonishes me is how leftists consider a single payment of 5 billion dollars on a border wall a waste of tax payer money but not the 50-100 billion dollars wasted annually on services for illegals, like education, welfare, etc…
You’re out of excuses Leftists. Any sensible person knows that you’re all emotionally opposed to the wall because you hate the feeling of supporting any of Trump’s policies.
