1. We don't need immigration reform as much as we need Labor Law reform.
The issue has is and always has been jobs. If employers were really prohibited from exploiting workers and forced to pay a living wage, we could open our borders to anyone who wanted to come and it would be a level playing field. People would compete for jobs based on competence and ability and not exploited to drive wages and force the standard of living down. The race to the bottom would end in the USA. And the best part would be that immigration would no longer be a tool to discriminate against people of color.
