 Williams: Why Dems changed course on illegal immigration

Here are a couple of easy immigration questions — answerable with a simple “yes” or “no” — we might ask any American of any political stripe: Does everyone in the world have a right to live in the U.S.? Do the American people have a right, through their elected representatives, to decide who has the right to immigrate to their country and under what conditions? I believe that most Americans, even today’s open-borders people, would answer “no” to the first question and “yes” to the second.

There’s nothing new about this vision. Americans have held this view throughout our history, during times when immigration laws were very restrictive and when they were more relaxed. Tucker Carlson, host of Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” gives us an interesting history lesson about immigration at Prager University. It was prompted by his watching a group of protesters who were denouncing President Trump’s immigration policies. They were waving Mexican flags and shouting, “¡Si, se puede!” (“Yes, we can!”)

Yhey saw the big opportunity available to them, starting with Reagan's 1986 Amnesty, GW Bush-McCain era push again for amnesty.

Guess who benefited from low wages?
It was not always this way.

In the 1960s during Regan's CA governorship, Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration (UFW-United Farm Worker Union) Chavez knew illegals drove wages down for his members.?


Largest Ag. producing state. GOP Govs Reagan,  Wilson, Deukmejian, Arnold.

Happy farm interests (huge corps), happy food consumers.

Hispanics afe dependable hard workers.

Service industries, hospitality, janitorial, fast food, construction.

Just because Arnold ran and was elected as a republican you cannot count him as either a Republican or a conservative! He governed as a Gaia worshiping anti business, pro illegal kennedy wannabe, Teddy that is not JFK. Arnold is just another rich dick democrat that wants to tell us what we have to give up because of globull warming.

I don't know what you are doing here, being sarcastic or just over generalizing. Hispanics are no different than any other race, there are good, bad, lazy, hard working, enterprising, lackadaisical, smart, stupid, educated and ignorant, in other words they are just people. I have employed many and worked with many in fast food and several different trades and as long as they come in like my parents and millions of others..............legally, I really don't care unless they commit crimes.
