Republicans haven’t been able to pass legitimate immigration reform, and neither have Democrats. Now Republicans want to hold aid to Ukraine and Israel hostage to these previous failures.
Shame on them! There is no question we need to deal with the border, and immigration. We need to stop the illegal immigration and up the number of people we allow to legally immigrate.
We are at full employment in our country, and we need the workers. The immigrants that want to come to the United States want to work, and make a better life for themselves, and their families.
So let us take that premise and work with it. No immigrant asking for asylum should be admitted without also being granted a work permit.
