trump pushes it as the path to "citizenship" that democrats want, democrats eagerly accept to appear like they're actually doing something on immigration, every news outlet ever runs stories about how amazingly the government just started working again and trump is some kind of brilliant beautiful daddy that the nation needed this whole time, trump is reelected for 4 more years

if we were to have a country-wide referendum that stated, literally, "should we allow illegal immigrants to be sold into slavery to pay for the border wall and our troops" I guarantee that fucker would get at least 30% yes and that's super depressing to think about

yeah, get your own "helper" for like $600 USD a month who works 24/6. and if you don't like them and fire them they have two weeks to find a job or they get deported.
