    Yeah, I completely understand, even as a child of immigrants.

    Americans have done this shitty song and dance for four decades now where Republicans are two-faced assholes where they complain about immigrants but want cheap immigrant labor. They need to learn and learn hard that their hypocrisy has a cost.

      Not just the loss in cheap labor, but also in “free” social security taxes (that such workers don’t end up claiming).
