You could make it easier for these immigrants to come to America, like hiring more judges, and assisting them as they become American citizens.

Republican leadership has a vested interest in keeping the borders open. Look at Texas back when W was the Governor, for example - what did he do to stem the tide of illegal immigration?

And the answer is, nothing. And why not? Because his pals in the big Ag and big Ranching businesses needed the cheap labor that only illegals can provide to pad the bottom line. Need.

For all you MAGAs around here flapping your gums about inflation, what if they had to pay agricultural workers minimum wage? Exactly. The workaround is to hire illegals.
