Funny how people here argue that migrant laws in US can't be improved because business owners want to exploit illegal migrants

Then say someone is cruel for not allowing more illegal migrants to stay in US (to be exploited I guess???)

Don’t imagine you’d get much pushback from the people you see as your political opponents if you supported going after businesses for hiring undocumented immigrants. You face pushback when the solution is punching down.

What is you said is besides the point

IF better immigration laws are not possible because people want to exploit illegal migrants THEN why would it be considered cruel for someone to oppose illegal migration?

Opposing illegal migration is not cruel on its own. The methods currently being employed to resolve it are extremely cruel and idiotic (e.g., forfeiting due process)
