45. illegal immigration is a subject
that centers on class inequality.

If your looking at this problem and not considering class, you're not much of a liberal. Illegal immigration is a subject that needs to be addressed from a class perspecitve. I'm not talking about "American Working class" either. That, my friend, is just plain nationalism.

This is a subject that needs to addressed from a class perspective. It's really that simple. American workers are not going to win a damn thing by sealing up borders and enforcing a mass exodus of immigrants. Not one working class person lives in that scenerio. As a matter of fact, that would lead to the suffering of many children.

THose same employers that hired them are not going to roll over and start offering living wages to their replacements. If you really believe that you have a lot to learn on how this capitalist game works in this country.

Those pushing that should really think about the human suffering that leads to.

There are better solutions.
