chyron, I thought you were on the liberal side?
I liked Obama a lot and Obama is not a liberal.
I like that we rarely have liberal or conservative presidents š
Do you support laws that make it difficult for illegal aliens to work in the US?
I had to think about it after you asked this, but yes. The fact that they do work that other people donāt want to do, and for less money, is not an excuse. If we have a problem that they conveniently fill, the fact that they fill it doesnāt mean itās not a problem. Generally, I would prefer the problem (of jobs no one wants to do for the meager money offered) was more obvious so we would be more inclined to fix it.
I had a feeling my question might inspire reflection.
I agree about enforcing the law. Make it fair for all immigrants. If we want to provide more pathways for immigration then do that, as you say. Even conservatives have felt the temptation to offer amnesty (as Reagan did), but then the rule of law never seems to kick in. Not only do illegal aliens suffer but when they commit crimes, those crimes may go unreported (and I donāt just mean tax filing). Iāve also disagreed with Trumpās immigration policies (though I think they are by-and-large legal) but I donāt know what the solution is when both parties seem complacent about the status quo.
