    Biden should point out the pragmatic side of this change in policy: we need all the workers we can get, especially in health care and food supply. And maybe, without being able to dangle the threat of calling “la migra” on undocumented workers, employers will need to pay them fairly and treat them with dignity.

      I've always thought that immigration enforcement (especially in agriculture) was a shell game. ICE and DHS catch and deport a dozen or a hundred people, but the businesses that hire them go on. If the Republicans truly wanted to rid the country of people without legal immigration status, then they should go after the employers. Make the penalties for hiring people without clean paper so high that the practice stops. But that hasn't happened in my lifetime. The business owners want people who are vulnerable to threats.

      @@frederickbays405 yes😢 sadly that's true. We have starved our own farmers off the land. The majority of our farms now are huge and draw huge government subsidies to survive. We've gotten out of balance in so many ways. How to fix it is beyond me but saying a living wage for any one on the bottom is wrong is even worse. I grew up on the farm and later dairy farmed. Some years no matter how hard a body worked or how good your decisions were it cost more to feed your animals than you would get at market. Yet we import beef. We send our jobs overseas. Just to have cheap goods in our stores. We've cheated ourselves out of a good life.

He could in theory have cut off at Jan 19th or even Jan 5th, 2021 (before Warnock/Ossoff elections) but that would give Republicans more room to claim people were streaming here after the election because they knew Biden & the Dems would let them in. The pre-election cutoff still allows for plenty of law-abiding recent immigrants to be officially processed & made permanent citizens, as they deserve.

    I live in a part of Toronto that is stuffed to the gills with immigrants of one sort or another. I can hear a dozen different languages just in my apartment building. I am an old white broad on disability. I am constantly being helped by people who aren't white, who can barely speak English....and who WORK!!!! Guess what!!! The income taxes that come off of their pay checks pays for my groceries and medical bills!!! And my rent!!!! The lady who comes to wrap my horribly wounded, dripping legs several times a week ( lymphorrea, result of lymphedema, ask Mrs. Beau) is from The Islands. The lady who comes to help me wash , and does some dishes a couple of times a week, she's from The Islands. The ladies who come to do some cleaning, they're from The Islands.
    The infectious diseases doctor that keeps an eye on my legs is from the Middle East. The wound care specialist nurse I go to in the hospital is from Russia, my own GP is from India. My terrified heart doctor, bless him, is from the Middle East as well.
    And the US is worried that some folks from outside the US want to come in and work their butts off? Sheeeeeesh. Send them up here!

      Yes. Chain migration. At the exact same time Trump was bemoaning the ills of immigrants bringing their extended families here after they become citizens, he and his wife were hypocritically doing that very thing for her and her parents.
      But she doesn't care, do you. Be Best n'shit, and watch her f up the Rose Garden and scare the hell out of Christmas with all those red trees. Anti-bullying was her thing, since 'she was the most bullied person in the world' according to her....
      That is the most I had to say about her since the beginning when I remarked about how the Right lost their s*it over Michelle's bare arms, and then had nothing to say about all those pictures of Melania that the Conald leaked out. ('Conald' was a typo, but I decided to leave it. lol). And I did remark about her and her husband's family history regarding immigration.
      When Melania arrived here, she was working illegally, but that's okay too---because hypocrisy. She got her permanent residency under the Einstein visa via Donald (and there's a joke in their somewhere).
      Donald's father was an anchor baby (he was almost born on the ship over here), Donald's mother's first two or three children were anchor babies. Melania had hers a couple of months before she became a citizen. Trump's first three children were anchor babies, too.
      I use the term 'anchor babies' because Trump said that he would use the term when he talked about such things----pertaining only to other people, of course.
