Why The Left Supports Illegal Immigration

Unread post by Bryce »

The 2020 census will show that the presence of all immigrants (naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal aliens) and their U.S.-born minor children is responsible for a shift of 26 House seats. This is the cumulative impact of immigration, not the change from the previous census.
Illegal immigrants alone in 2020 will redistribute three seats, with Ohio, Alabama, and Minnesota each having one fewer seat than they otherwise would have had, while California, New York, and Texas will have one additional seat.

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I feel your headline is misleading. By the same token, I could post a headline that says "Why the Right Supports Government Control Over the Female Body."

The report you have quoted is from the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that has not been held in high regard by many researchers and experts. Last year, a CIS report was used to justify the southern border wall, stating basically that the wall would pay for itself, something that turned out to be unverifiable. (In facf, the study the CIS report was mischaracterizing concluded that reducing immigration actually would shrink the economy.. https://www.factcheck.org/2018/03/will- ... or-itself/)

Although I don't use the phrase, some might call me part of "the Left." I don't support anything "illegal". However, I do believe our immigration system is a total mess, and needs to be approached with a much more nuanced solution.

I recently spoke to a legal immigrant from Venezuela. I asked her how she felt about illegal immigration. She said it cost her a lot of money it legally immigrate and that that those that bypassed the they process upset her and had no right to be here.

Bill Clinton even used the phrase "illegal alien" to describe them.

Now if you use that phrase in public in New York City, you can be fined up to a quarter of a million dollars.
