Undocumented immigrants and US taxpayers are pawns of our designed to fail immigration system
Undocumented immigrants and US taxpayers are pawns of our designed to fail immigration system.
The binational elite who profits not only in the undocumenteds' home countries (remittances) but the elite who profit in the US from the US Border industrial complex (prisons, USPB station equipment, border surveillance equipment) and US corporations who profit from labor either at home or the undocumenteds' home countries.
One US political party pretends to let them all in, the other pretends to keep them all out. Meanwhile voters believe both sides propaganda while nothing ever really changes.
US taxpayers have every right to be furious. The problem is they have been brainwashed by our duopoly parading as a democracy and never quite see what is really going on.
And why doesn't the US Government get in the faces of all of the countries that push their undocumented to the US? As in, you take care of your own people, or we will stop sending you aid and pull all of our corporations out of your country until you do.
