Alien-nation

An odd alliance that - Big Government and Big Business - on the immigration amnesty issue, but not when you follow the money. Democrats want votes and immigrants tend to vote Democratic because it's the party of handouts. Many Republicans, fearing they will be left out, are also steadfastly saying. "Me too!" when it comes to unfettered access to this country. And last, but not least, Big Business wants a large pool of low-paid employees which puts downward pressure on wages for everyone and is willing to pay the pols to get it. And the result for the rest of us:

According to a new Center for Immigration Studies analysis of government employment data released Monday, the number of working-age immigrants holding a job in Tennessee increased by 94,000 from 2000 to 2014. However, the number of working-age Americans in the state holding a job declined 47,000.

With numbers like these it isn't a great mystery why there is such a disconnect between the political and economic elites and the great majority of ordinary Americans on this issue. Now if the electorate would just wake up and realize that they have the power to vote at least the political bums out of office, things would start to take a turn for the better.
