SoapZone Community: Politics Message Board

Say sure we will support your your tough border restrictions as long as you include an employer mandate for e-verify and criminal penalties for owners, boards, and CEOs, who employ illegal immigrants. We will even be generous and include a carve out for an efficient, humane, and well tracked guest worker program so that our farmers don't see crops rotting in the fields.

Make it known that Ds were willing to play ball on immigration and it is Rs backing way because their corporate overlords don't want to curb illegal immigration

As for where I am coming from please see this Texas Monthly story how politicians, especially Rs don't want to solve the border crisis.
