Would the senator volunteer to do the job that person does? Unless you're a Native American you are probably a decendant of an immigrant. The people who grow and pick your food, mow your lawn, wash dishes in your favorite restaurant, pump gas into your tank, put food on shelves in your grocery store, pick up your trash, etc. Would you like to do their job? Why not volunteer or apply for the job? If enough "real" Americans did those jobs we wouldn't need others to do it for us would we? You can't have your cake and eat it too. It was a Republican but can not remember his name.

It would be nice if our legislators (both sides) researched the matter and came up with viable solutions rather than using immigration as a political football. What Trump did to immigrants was appalling, but not much has been done since to make the situation better. The trick is to get both sides to agree on solutions. That seems to be too much to ask. Why? Because immigration works great as a divisive tool. Like everything else in politics, it all goes back to money. Divide and conquer.

nkat , I don't have the solution. I'm not an expert on the matter. All I know is that we have immigrants fleeing horrific conditions in their native countries and coming to the US seeking asylum, which they have a right to do. I also know how necessary migrant workers are to our economy, and I know from some limited experience, that virtually all of them come here to make "good money" to send or take home to their families. In my opinion, we must find ways to make allowances for that. We could fix the problem if we worked at it rationally, but like abortion, it's used as an emotional, political, device, to get votes. If it were fixed, the GOP would lose a tool to get votes?
