court rulings...yet, at the same time granting DJT all the delays he wants. This SCOTUS majority bears no resemblance to the statue with its eyes blindfolded.

You will laugh at this, due to your lack of logical thinking ability, but I am more qualified to be a US Supreme Court just than she is solely on the basis she makes her rulings based on personal feelings rather than what is constitutional.

This was accepted wisdom years ago, when Dems championed the blue collar worker. Now that the Dems are the party of the elites, I guess all that is called into question now.
on immigrants who work for low wages...and it's the Dems who are fighting for not only the immigrants, but also the industries that need them. DJT's deportations are political theater aimed at low information voters. Note that he's admitted as much by not sending ICE to such places and calling out how THOSE immigrants are "Hard Working" and have "Been there for years"..."Good People".

I worked in a factory once. I was paid by check and walked out the front door. Illegals were paid on the back dock. They definitely took jobs from locals.
Again, this is common sense, and was commonly accepted, until the Dems decided there was an advantage to creating another permanently held back class of people.
even the lowest native blue collar worker wouldn’t take…do a search of my posts on this subject. btw, they even make sure they can find folks that provide SS #’s.
Those immigrants aren’t taking blue collar jobs away from anyone.
Illegals paid over 100 billion in taxes. I’m not saying that some aren’t paid under the table, but to say they’re getting over is plain wrong. And how long ago was it that you worked in a factory? Aren’t you 80 or something? And what part of the country do you live in? I’m willing to bet you’ve never been adversely affected by an illegal immigrant.
If so, how many is too many? A billion? What if we get 4 billion asylum seekers? Must we schedule them all for hearings? You don't think they will take any jobs from Americans?
They should be vetted to the best of our ability.
I don’t support the draconian tactics being used now. The vast majority of illegal immigrants just want better lives for their families. The USA is till the best place to live. You don’t see many people trying to break into Russia, China, or Iran.

look this easily accessible document up...gives info on quotas, too.
Oh, and Congress is the entity that passes the laws that define policy and quotas, etc...something the Trump admin should be working on...don't you think?

The tax payers benefit from this.
1175 yrs ago, it was Dems who demanded to keep their slave labor, and they are doing today as well. Consistency.
Illegals generate a hell of a lot more tax revenue than they receive.

How much do undocumented immigrants pay in taxes?
Undocumented immigrants contribute tens of billions of dollars in federal, state and local taxes each year.
Discussions of immigrants and public benefits often overlook the significant tax contributions made by undocumented immigrants. According to research conducted by New American Economy, in 2018 undocumented immigrants contributed $20.1 billion in federal taxes and $11.8 billion in state and local taxes.
The tax contributions of undocumented immigrants are critical to the viability of public health programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Between 2000 and 2011, undocumented immigrants generated a $35.1 billion surplus in the Medicare Trust Fund. States that expend the most in emergency medical care for undocumented immigrants (California, Texas, and New York) all also receive over $1 billion in state and local tax contributions from undocumented immigrants each year.

I don’t have a solution to that and deporting them all isn’t the answer.
using lawfare to protect these criminals.
Unless they are blinded by irrational TDS
He blamed them for the low wages earned by legal farm workers. He once protested against illegals at the border and was joined by Democrat lib Walter Mondale.
