You know, the same can be said about some Republican policies. How many people died in Las Vegas because we couldn’t eliminate bump stocks, for just one example? Illegal immigration is not the only source of tragic, preventable deaths.
I’m not an expert on immigration policy, so I’m not really taking a stand so much as pointing out that it’s not nearly as black and white as it seems. Furthermore, a lot of democrats would be happy to see more border security. Open borders is more a a far left view.
Watch FL closely as this new immigration law Desantis put in takes effect. I suspect that immigration is a political pawn whose detrimental effects are touted mostly for political gain, because at the end of the day, republicans love cheap labor too. Everyone talks a big game about it but nothing gets done. Now Desantis is actually doing something. We’ll see what the effects are soon, and whether the hit that agriculture and construction will take will make republicans suddenly not mind undocumented people so much.
