I have a different view on immigration than a lot of people.

Also, a wall will do NOTHING to stop the tide of immigration. Idiots.
The problem isn't with residents giving birth and the state automatically granting citizenship to the child. Illegal immigrants who bypass the laws of this country to get in give birth in this country and then the state will rethink its position on immigration because of the new reality. I'm a first generation American. My parents had already been in this country for almost fifteen years before my mother gave birth to me. They had an investment here, so it makes sense that their children be bestowed citizenship upon birth. I have a huge problem with illegal immigrants breaking laws and then thinking that giving birth in this country is their ticket in. Something has to change.

Better border security as enforced by the states who occupy said borders will help. We can't be complacent. Everyone shouldn't be welcome.

As far as workers' rights and unions go. I don't trust the government anymore than I trust corporations.
