Immigration: Solving a Problem that Doesn’t Exist

When I was in business, my sales team would occasionally write proposals for services that my company had never delivered, and someone would ask, “Craig, if we get this project, how will we deal with it?”  My normal response: “I’m not sure.  When and if the prospect signs off, I’ll figure it out then.  There is no reason to solve problems that don’t exist, when there are so many that actually do.”

The same applies to immigration.  These people pick our crops, clean our hotel rooms, bus our dishes, build our houses, do our gardening, and watch our children. Virtually all of them are law-abiding and hard-working.  They form a segment of our society that works just fine.

Want to talk about problems that do exist? The list might begin with environmental collapse, the end of U.S. democracy, the dismantling of the federal government so as to further enrich billionaires, lousy education, the rejection of science, healthcare, poverty, homelessness, and never-ending religious wars abroad.
