In reply to the discussion: Tennessee Republican tells 11 year old girl her father has to be deported as tea party crowd cheers [View all]pampango
(24,692 posts)77. You don't 'legalize' workers to bring down wages; you keep them 'illegal' - easier to exploit them.
"... we have stopped enforcing our hiring laws..."
This will be news to the record numbers of foreigners who have been deported by the Obama administration and to the many liberals who with he had not pursued the 'get tough' policy designed to please republicans in the hopes they would agree to a comprehensive version of immigration reform. They have not and do not want to have anything to do with 'legalizing' foreign workers ("amnesty" is the code word they use). Also Obama has fined and jailed more 'illegal' employers than any previous administration.
I just realized that you think Obama is just putting on a 'good show' by sacrificing a 'few' (tens of thousands, in reality) families.
"...the so-called Pro-union Workers Party backing the Immigration Bill the Billionaires wrote."
If you look at who voted for and against the bill in the Senate and the its tea party opponents and Progressive Caucus supporters in the House, you might want to revisit your analysis, unless there is some 4-D chess being played to fool us chumps in the "general populace".
