Example: the caravan of refugees that came from central america... their countries are unlivable and dangerous directly due to US installing corrupt government officials. They have a bright future here in America, but no future in their own country. US colonialism is finally catching up to bite us in the ass after all these years. Id rather it not be the case, but the right thing to do is take care of them. Do you know how much all these immigrants help our economy? Big Agriculture cant exist without them...

Supposition. Assumption. Unproven. If their families undoubtedly, 100%, had a bright future based on their skill sets, then they would have applied for visas, gotten them, and immigrated legally. They didn't. Most likely because they were uneducated third-world peasants with no education, no skills, and no prospects in life for their families except continuing to be peasants for the next 1000 years... which isn't something in much demand in the US.
We have our own peasants, and they already speak the language and are actually pretty handy if you need stuff fixed with duct tape or an extra car parked on your lawn or need more dogs for under your porch.
Says you... and you're entitled to your unfounded, baseless, and naive opinion. That's your right to belief any old horseshit you like. So hop your ass on a plane, go to the third world, and help all the people you feel like helping, to your heart's content. Let us know how that works out for you.
I have an idea that it's somewhere between fuck-all, and zilch... but you can help prove me wrong. Get your Democratic Senators and Representatives to sponsor a bill that denies all government assistance to all immigrants (both legal and illegal) until they've been in the US legally for 20 years.
Then they can show us what a boon they are to the economy, when all handouts are off the table, and they literally have a chance to show what a benefit they can be to the economy. Sound like a deal?
Incorrect. Big Agriculture can pay fucking market wages to fucking citizens and fucking legal residents, or big agriculture can go to fucking prison for violating the RICO act for basing their business on illegal hiring practices. How about that?

I agree about Big Agri businesses should be held accountable, but we all know that wont happen. If corporations didnt hire illegals just so they can pay slave wages and increase profits, they wouldnt come here. So the focus should be on cracking down on corporations, not on immigrants. You think its that easy to get a visa? You are the naive one. Thats the entire reason illegals come here illegally. The process is broken and too much bureacracy. Some people wait 10+ years to go through proper legal channels to get into the US. Besides, this country was built and founded by immigrants.
