We are talking about two different things. I am talking about some in the Republican party (not you Republicans) who oppose illegal immigration while at the same time there are some others in the party who support the American capitalists in taking the jobs to them.

It is not my intent to indulge in a you-you scenario. If you disagree with what I say and have another point of you, then welcome and say why I am not correct in viewing it the way I do.

Well, I am certainly for shipping all illegal aliens out, without exception, though I can't say I am a pure Democrat. I do like a number of formerly Republican positions, such as balanced budgets, avoidance of foreign adventures, etc.

I agree with you that shipping out illegals and keeping them out via stringent enforcement of criminal penalties for (mostly Republican) employers that hire them is an excellent way to greatly lift wages at the bottom, thus providing lucrative work incentives to the US citizen underclass. Keeping US citizens in jail while the illegals are doing the work the citizens could be doing is certainly no way to run a country. It's also a great way to lower the Gini index, and avoid the future revolution.
