You are treading mighty close to Republican taking points my friend.
Since when is reality a (R) talking point? like never?
Did you bother to watch the video? The math simply doesn't work, so find a solution where people don't find a need to go through 7 countries to come to the US. A moral compass must also face reality, and being pragmatic, I want solutions that are realistic and meaningful. I work and live in a neighborhood with higher than normal H1B immigrants (maybe 20%), and it may be worth while to ask what that demographic has to say - and they are really not (R)s either. They did it legally, and yes, it's messed up that it takes 10 years to get citizenship, but they have pretty strong opinions about the southern border issue.
"jobs Americans refuse to do" is because the corporations are vastly underpaying those workers (much to the happiness of Republicans). Pay a decent wage, and "Americans" will do that job.
If someone comes through the system legally, they are protected.
We need to push more to help those countries out so the people don't feel like they need to "flee"
