Throw in the folks on the terrorist watch list who get in, the drugs that get in, and the human trafficking going on. This is what you and the NY Times call a system that's working?

That's sick, and a new low even for you.

You obviously didn't read the article. The author is emphasizing the dynamic whereby American employers, like Trump himself, and the American economy at large depend upon upon immigrant labor (hence the need for comprehensive immigration reform).

Speaking of the Lying Dotard, while he was railing against immigrants, he employs them throughout his company. Whassup with that?

OSSINING, N.Y. — For nearly two decades, the Trump Organization has relied on a roving crew of Latin American employees to build fountains and waterfalls, sidewalks and rock walls at the company’s winery and its golf courses from New York to Florida.

Other employees at Trump clubs were so impressed by the laborers — who did strenuous work with heavy stone — that they nicknamed them “Los Picapiedras,” Spanish for “the Flintstones.”

For years, their ranks have included workers who entered the United States illegally, according to two former members of the crew. Another employee, still with the company, said that remains true today.

President Trump “doesn’t want undocumented people in the country,” said one worker, Jorge Castro, a 55-year-old immigrant from Ecuador without legal status who left the company in April after nine years. “But at his properties, he still has them.”
