Buried in the article Trump’s border wall prototypes virtually impassable, pass rigorous testing on FOX News is a short paragraph that explains exactly why both Democrats and Republicans reject deporting illegals.
Understand the net effect here is really the same regardless of either party's reason, and that is the illegal immigrant is exploited for cheap labor. Period.
Both Republicans and Democrats are perfectly willing for illegals to remain because they are a means to bypass minimum wage/living wage requirements.
Both parties use these people.
We often hear that Americans won't do the jobs illegals do. Well, that's true to a degree. Americans won't do those job for pittance wages. If illegals were gone and industry had to address the resulting labor shortage they would have to increase their wages to attract applicants.
Politicians will use flowery rhetoric to paint a picture, but in the end -- the bottom line is they want to keep cheap labor here to benefit their voting blocks.
The loser is the Average Joe.
Quote:This provision, however, is a deal-killer for Democrats because it cuts off money and jobs for existing illegal immigrant families. It’s also a deal-killer for the GOP because agribusiness, meatpackers, restaurants and hotels say they would suffer massive job losses if their illegal workers were forced to have their identities checked through a homeland security database.
