I understand that. That's self serving and we all do that. What we shouldnt do is to shoot ourselves in the foot and cheer about it.

Let's put the laws, the constitution, and the country aside for a moment and pretend they don't matter. By importing 50-70 million illegal immigrants, mostly poor, it could take a huge chunk out of the already small pie of welfare at a time we won't even be able to pay back the current debt!

Not to mention, those illegals will compete with the poor for all the low end jobs. Wait until they become legal, they will ask for $15/hour. Why adding 50 million to the already saturated labor pool?

How is that in anyway helping the poor? Why would anybody vote for the Democrat? This is like to screw every poor person in the behind with a spacecraft.
So it' ok with you that republicans want illegal immigrants for cheap labor? No that's not hypocritical in the least.

Absolutely not! At least no republican candidate is proposing amnesty for the illegals.

No. I think illegal immigrants shouldn't be allowed to compete with our own citizens!
