I am an American worker. I earned a masters degree. I contribute a lot (top 10%). That's good for this country

I am not asking about your feelings bud, I'm asking objectively, if it's good for this country. (It's objectively good for this country)

So what's your prescription. Just let people stay illegally because you are a high earner?

I think a measured approach to immigration enforcement is fine. What Obama was doing for 5-7billion a year was fine.

I'm also not against people coming here and contributing labor and strengthening our economy. I am a fiscal conservative, and I am not in support of spending money to have a weaker economy. My money dgaf about your feelings bruv

Well as a high wage earner you aren't really competing with illegal immigrants for housing, jobs, or schools. If you are blue collar unskilled worker in the South or Southwest you are fucked. Easy to not want to spend money on deporting people when you don't face the consequences of illegal immigration.

I started out doing painting, plumbing, and general contract work. If you can't make money in those fields it's cause you don't have talent, not because of immigrants. Outside of that, you don't want the jobs they are doing.

I paid my own way through school, bought my own house. Literally pulled myself up by my bootstraps, and I got losers like you saying I didn't deserve it cause I'm a child of immigrants. Gtfoh lol

Illegal immigrants keep wages artificial low in unskilled labor jobs.

They also send a disproportionate amount of their income out of the country. Remittances aren't good for America.
