Many big money interests are not willing to support any immigration reform. They like having illegals in the workforce. There are huge problems with that. Like any infection they eventually take over. The roofing industry is a prime example. Currently you have one Heffy that has his credentials and he is hired. He is a contractor and his subs are all illegal. He pays them. It’s a way to get around taxation. Companies love it but eventually they are dependent on it. That guy can pull his crew at any time and go anywhere.
Government spending has increased the cost of living exponentially. Wages go up to support it. It is a huge ponzy scheme. Congress will always listen to their big money donors. That’s why nothing gets done. Reagan got suckered into legalizing many on the solemn promise that immigration laws would be enforced. Did it happen?
That’s what we’re up against. You can’t legislate morality when money is involved.
We are at a fork in the road. If we continue down the wrong path we will end up like Mexico.
