Paul Ryan, GOP Establishment Look to Fulfill Koch Brothers’ Wage-Crushing Amnesty Dreams Ahead of Midterms
April 18, 2018
John Binder
Ryan, the GOP establishment, and the Koch brothers are looking to make the 2018 midterm elections primarily a referendum on tax cuts, rather than President Trump’s popular pro-American immigration reform agenda that would boost American workers’ wages.
The Republican establishment is weighing a plan with Democrats whereby millions of illegal aliens who are eligible and enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are given amnesty in exchange for a small amount of border security funding, Reuters reports.

Yes, this is where libertarians intersect with the establishment. And, fairly open borders worked for many years because there were no public benefits available to those who crossed over and came here. They could work, but the work was that which no one else would do, and education, welfare, drivers licenses, etc. benefits were not available to non-citizens. So, it was almost only men who came, and they would go back home regularly with their earnings. They were in no way here permanently. The combination of open borders and massively attractive immigration magnets are creating a disaster.
