Illegal immigration imposes costs on the rest of us, especially the poor and working class.

Obvious examples include depressed wages and inflated housing rents. If Democrats are about the poor and working class, shouldn't they include compensation for those harmed the most by illegal immigration?

Don't hold your breath. He is going to forgive illegal immigrants for their felony ID and SS number thefts while American citizens who commit felonies go to jail.

Reparations have been payed to groups of Americans that suffured an injustice at the hand of the federal government.

If you would want the poor to recieve reparations, whom would be on the list and what injury did the suffer. What specif action[s] did the federal government committ to cause harm to the group?

Please feel free to expound fully which specific action caused which harm.

Yes I understand that completely. I want to know why nobody else is raising this issue? Every Democrat who supports this deserves a primary and an exit from office.

The first step is to have the number crunchers quanify the damages, then proceed with appropriate policy.

So you're willing give the lawbreakers a pass while screwing citizens?

Either get rid of people here illegally and enforce our borders, or compensate citizens for economic damages caused by government's failure to enforce out borders.

Do you understand the concept of tortious malfeasance?

Obama is currently deporting a Christian German homeschooling family. That's a high priority case to Obama.
