It always seemed obvious to me that the real criminals here are the owner class who are exploiting undocumented immigrants. They didn't want to give amnesty because that would mean they would have to follow rules such as minimum wage, etc. They have a business incentive to keep these people "illegal". Of course these people overwhelmingly vote Republican.

Also, if conservatives don't want refugees here, perhaps they could stop supporting US interventions in Latin America? Oh, and why not do something about climate change too because that will create even more refugees?

I've had people complain to me about how many Puerto Ricans there are in the area... my friend, you realize that Puerto Rican are Americans and that is because of imperialism right? The people of that island likely didn't ask to be colonized by Spain and then ceded to the US.
