I know, right?
Most people want to rise above the dangerous temporary labor-intensive jobs that many immigrants do. And immigrants end up paying lots of taxes in the USA. They cannot help but blend into and add to our economy. They need food and shelter like the rest of us. They pay for that. The money circulates. It all adds to the GDP.
I am convinced the objections to immigration are politically motivated and ugly. Immigrants are being used as a scape goat for the powers of the right to divert attention away from the way they support such tremendous wealth extraction by the super-rich, who take from everybody else, then give to the Republican party to cling to power.
