I think you may be surprised at which party tried to actually help the poor...Hint- it's not the one fighting to give a tax cut to billionaires at the expense of poor people....

Companies just view illegals and immigrants as cheap labor..I assure you they don't care about them. That's the only reason they like H1B visas.

The elite has all of you lefties fooled. They could care less about politics or any of your good will they only wish to continue lining their own pockets just like any other businessman.

I'm sure they do work their butt off..for a lower wage. and that's why the limo elites like them.

Its a stupid waste of money designed to placate those who refuse to educate themselves on the issue.

Instead of building walls why don't the Republicans increase spending on job retraining programs so that these poor downtrodden White folk in the Rust Belt can go to college or a trade school and learn marketable skills for the 21st century?

Look, we all know it's easier to sit around and blame minorities for everything but why not pick yourselves up by the bootstraps? The greatest thing I ever did was get my Associate's degree, right off the bat I have a higher education level than 60% of the population (yeah, only 40% of Americans have any education beyond a high school diploma).

It's not the left-wing latte-sipping liberal hipsters who are hiring illegals as farmhands, janitors and construction workers, is it?

Only conservatives are capable of running a business that uses labor?

That's a nice notion until you realize illegals are getting In-State tuition rates that the "poor downtrodden White folk" cannot get.
