based on that logic, why remove them? Then the money will not keep flowing in. It stops. I don’t have an issue with deporting illegal immigrants that have committed a serious crime. Many immigrants perform jobs that Americans are unwilling to do themselves. They work harder than 90% of Americans. Most are just looking for a better life and a way to provide for their families. How many Americans are willing to work in the fields harvesting crops? How many Americans are willing to shuck oysters and break down crabs and shrimp on the docks? How many Americans can cook an ethnic dish and serve it in a restaurant. America has become a country of consumerism. There are still some pockets of Americans that do perform laborious jobs. But it is far and few between. History is clear. Immigrants have notoriously done the hard labor jobs that support the American economy. Think back to the slaves brought here. Think back to the Chinese brought here to build the railways. Think back to all the Irish and Polish that came and worked in factories and farms. The list goes on and on.
I am an American. I am a consumer. I rely on immigrants to feed me, clothe me, take care of my yard. Why? Because they can do what I cannot.
For the OP, I wish the best. I am just not a believer that this current administration will be helpful. My personal belief is that this administration is racist, bigoted and misogynistic.
