253. It's about watching a way of life disappear to satisfy the desires of
the very corporations you mention. Unlawful has written plenty on tax policies, the redistribution of wealth to the rich, the problems of corporations refusing to share increased profits with workers, etc.

This argument that interest in immigration issues deflects blame from Republicans is a false one, in my opinion. This issue is currently being debated in Congress and deserves the attention of anyone interested in the future economic health of the country.

And why is it that the "race card" is always played after all other arguments fail? All through this thread and others on DU, people have given personal examples of how they've been hurt by employers who have pushed for open borders and increased immigration. What about our own citizens? Can we never put them first without being called racist?
