Clearly they know something we don’t... I don’t get it, why not share their knowledge?
Wouldn’t that be an easy way to get good Americans to embrace illegal immigration?
They pitch it as such a no-brainer yet not one of them have been able to articulate the notion....Shouldn’t it be simple to produce an illustration of just how much of a no-brainer it actually is?
There are both positive and negative aspects of having undocumented immigrants in the country. On the positive side they provide low cost labor doing jobs that Americans won't do. On the negative side they live in poverty with little support from the government adding to the usually social consequences.
Many of the most serious problems of illegal immigration are often overlooked. The first being undocumented immigrants are undocumented. That means there are no good measures as to the size of the population so it is difficult to draw accurate conclusions. Being undocumented means living in the shadows, taking jobs that are safe from businesses often operating illegally, being a non-participate in civic affairs such as voting, reporting crimes to the police, volunteering, serving on juries, etc. In fear of the immigration police, parents don't register children for free healthcare such as vaccinations and free healthcare screenings. Lack of health insurance sends them to emergency rooms. Children are taught to avoid calling attention to themselves and the family by avoiding participation in school activities.
Democrats do not embrace illegally immigration. They believe we need better laws and better methods of enforcement.
