Opening the gates and letting people in (not everyone, but many) will produce the growth we need to grow the economy and pay for the social services we all use at some point in our lives. What's your worry about them anyway? Most come fully equipped with motivation to do well and skills to sell -- some very high level skills. What's negative about that?
Why do we need more illegal immigrants when we have millions of people who are currently unemployed and we have millions of legal immigrants living on welfare and millions of poor American people living on welfare too? What do you need an illegal immigrant for? What kind of growth are you hoping/planning/thinking you'll create by adding more illegal immigrants (cheap unskilled labor)? I doubt you'll find very many with high level skill worker coming in across an open border illegally these days. You keep thinking like Bob keeps thinking and the two of you keep thinking like the robber barons of old way back during the turn of the last century. On the one hand, you seem to know that the country is far more advanced and far more mechanized and computerized requiring far less manual labor but you aren't applying that knowledge or understanding to illegal immigration. So, where's the logic? Why don't I see the same logic? Where did the logic go?
Now, I'm not in charge of the Republican party. If I was in charge, I'd be investing in media outlets and talking to some American billionaires about acquiring access to a national TV channel. I'd also be sending the Democratic party a clear signal that the day of catering to crowds of cream puffs and cake eaters and agreeing to national debates that are controlled by biassed moderators is over as well. Why, I think it's time to ramp it up and time get more serious and cut through all the nonsense associated with Democratic politics. I'd also flip the script on the Democrats and move the party from a defensive posture to offensive posture as well. Where am I now, I'm smack dab in the middle of Democratic territory doing what I've been doing for many years.
