  • I don’t think it’ll ever happen though, for the same reason that we’ll never see legalized abortion in this country

    We need a party that serves the working class before a lot of these issues are able to gain traction. Unfortunately the vast majority of politicians are captured by corporate interests, and our system is designed to reward such.

    There is an argument to be made for immigration disrupting the culture of border cities

    I don’t think there is a good argument to be made for that honesty, the vast majority of people who think of immigrants as ‘disrupting culture’ seem to simply dislike diversity when you try to dig down at what exactly is being disrupted. I honestly think that’s more of an education issue. Where the expansion of public education, including college, would help the most. Especially with the legalization aspect you mentioned. Legalized immigrants would have their educational opportunities far improved, and it would also improve integration. Ultimately, integration is a generational thing, but public education can definitely improve it for everyone


  • Because there isn’t any legitimate reason to turn away people seeking asylum or looking to immigrate. The issue with the process we have how intentionally slow and throttled it is. We can easily speed up the legalization process. Illegal immigration happens either from desperation or, most commonly, overstayed visas. Instead of treating this as a criminal act, we can simply have them begin the legalization process while staying in the country.

    Even from an economic perspective immigrants are a benefit. However our intentional two-tier labor system is utilized by companies to hyperexploit illegal immigrants by threat of deportation. Legalization is critical to also institute labor protections. Along with unionization, this would also benefit American workers in those same industries with increased pay and benefits. Companies like to use the two-tier labor system to also justify lowering wages for the legal workers.
