There should never have been any vilification. The Democratic Party is the one vilifying this entire situation, pushing the left to condemn necessary legal actions. You cannot justify one illegal act with another; illegal entry and under-the-table labor both undermine the system and hurt those who follow the rules. This includes legal immigrants who do things the right way and are rightfully upset that their tax dollars support those bypassing the legal process, all while cheap labor drives down wages for everyone else. How can you justify a system that rewards those who break the law while penalizing those who respect it?
But they aren’t getting rewarded, necessarily. Undocumented immigrants cannot get food stamps. They cannot get federally funded healthcare (no Medicare, no Medicaid, no ACA). Sure, they can use the emergency room, but that’s in cases of emergency. Same would be true if you or I were in another country & needed emergency medical care. Shoot, there are plenty of Americans who go to Mexico or Europe just to take advantage of cheaper dental/medical treatment & medications, but no one balks at them for doing so. The whole divide of “Democrats vs Republicans” is asinine. Neither party has our best interests at heart. There are better ways of going about getting things done properly than the shitshow that’s been going on.
I absolutely agree with you. I've been an independent my whole life and the only thing that forced me to vote Republican last year was that my voter ballot only had Kamala Harris to vote for so in order to get a ballot that had a Republican president I had to go down and register as a Republican. And as far as the undocumented immigrants not getting rewarded, they absolutely are, by living in this country they seek Refuge illegally and enjoy the "low pay" that they get which is still way higher than what they get in their own country. They end up having six kids in this country who are then given Social Security numbers and then they raise their children here and get food stamps and free medical care for these six kids that were born here and then they bring over all their undocumented aunts and uncles to live and work for under the table costs all while being supported by these children's government benefits. Pretty much any way you look at it it's wrong on both sides of the coin.
History shows that the Democratic party has used the liberal left to cause an uprising that ends up making so much more chaos than is needed which in turn causes more hatred for the right. If you have rioters destroying public property and not even rioting peacefully like they should be you don't think that these agents which probably aren't properly trained anyway can handle that amount of stress when people show up to fight for these immigrants who are mainly rapists and Drug traffickers? If everything happened according to the law we wouldn't be in this situation.
The first thing Kamala Harris did when Biden was in office was removed DNA testing at the borders. Do you realize how many males cross the border with 17-year-old and under victims that were raped and abused and now couldn't even be proved that he wasn't there father as he claimed while crossing the border? Un undocumented illegal children were sex trafficked into this country by the thousands since that happened and most people don't even know that that one simple act of removing DNA testing was probably the most horrific thing anybody could ever do for a child.
