Wasn't sure where to put this. But it looks like Illinois politics at its finest

I think they are talking about those who fall under DACA. Perhaps there should be a clear pathway to US citizenship, for those who wish to be US citizens, so they are no longer adults in citizenship limbo.

Or, they could go back to the countries they are ALREADY citizens of.  We needed immigration when the country was expanding geographically and economically.  Now, all they do is lower our wage scales, our educational levels and our standard of living.  The point of diminishing returns was reached long ago.  So much for the BS that all they do is pick lettuce and clean our bathrooms.  That was ALWAYS a lie, anyway.

That was the boomers that did that. With the collapse of globalization and the return of domestic manufacturing we are going to need immigrants. Heck, we are going to need them to help pay to take care of all the retired boomers while filling the massive gaps developing in the labor force.

I disagree. For what you described we may need more Polish and Ukrainian immigrants who have healthcare or nursing training. Millions of randoms will not fill the jobs that need filling in the "modern society" that leftists envision.

The economy can never go backwards or the whole pyramid collapses.

My concern is that too many immigrants at once will not become productive workers - they will be recipients of printed money that destroys our buying power. Immigration policy is supposed to balance the inflows from different countries with those sectors that need workers (skilled and unskilled). Biden has no economic plan. Chaos diverts money from productive uses to emergency uses.

Our nation's history is written in no small part by people working to achieve USA citizenship.

Even as far as being in the military and fighting in battle for our nation.

 

So here we have legal non-citizens, AFAIK, working a different, yet significant, role on the civilian side.

 

No one has mentioned how many GOP voted for this.

They really liked this bill in the ILGA House.  Twice.
