GOP Was The Cause Of Immigration Problem. Really Started With Ronald Reagan.

10. Allowing Undocumented Workers To Be Exploited Served Several Purposes For The GOP.

They have no reason to stop the employers because it served their dual political purposes. First of all they could get the support of employers who profited from cheap labor and wage theft. Secondly by dragging their feet on immigration they could allow more workers in to the economy and keep wages lower due to competition. Thirdly they could blame Democrats for coddling these workers when they tried to protect them.

The GOP wins all the way around because they then could continue the politics of racial and cultural resentment. They were able to claim these people were taking American jobs that THEY were actually sending overseas based on laws they tricked Clinton into help pass. Then they could claim the Democrats were giving these people free services that was untrue. White middle class workers would then give the GOP their votes when they promised them that the GOP was the only party helping them.

It was a "no pea shell game". Now we have Trump and GOP Congress.
