Over 1,000,000,000 migrants have been apprehended at our southern border in just six months

Liberals are shortsighted if they think a high degree of immigration will benefit their agenda. For most people most of the time loyalties of class are less strong than loyalties of race, nation, and ethnicity. Diverse work forces are more difficult to organize into labor unions than homogeneous work forces. By raising the U.S. population immigrants contribute to the depletion of the U.S. environment. By competing for jobs immigrants enable employers to hold the line on wages. By looking for places to live immigrants enable landlords to raise rents. As more non whites move to the United States more whites vote Republican.

I like immigrants. I have been in love with a few. I appreciate the cultural diversity they contribute to American society. I enjoy ethnic restaurants, ethnic shops, and ethnic festivals. Nevertheless, the currently high degree of immigration has political and economic costs Democrats should worry about.
 
"The Curious Politics of Immigration," by Paul Krugman, The New York Times, April 26, 2010

I know that when I look at today’s Mexicans and Central Americans, they seem to me fundamentally the same as my grandparents seeking a better life in America.

On the other side, however, open immigration can’t coexist with a strong social safety net; if you’re going to assure health care and a decent income to everyone, you can’t make that offer global.

How can they all vote if they are apprehended?

Fucking stick with the plan Biden!
 
If you want an employee that will actually work and all you have is a choice between a Republican and an illegal alien...who would you choose? I would take the one that would show up every day and work.

So, not Sarah Palin then, right?
 
Leaving the innumeracy aside, aren't "apprehensions" at the border the exact thing these fools have been asking for?
The collective IQ of the G00P has dropped by double digits since the black Muslim who was born in Kenya illegally won the election.

Nobody thinks that. It is part of the agenda, an end in itself -- it is not part of it out of any particular desire for immigrants, but out of sympathy for those who want in.
