Texas Is Just Going to Build Its Own Border Wall Now… can we talk?… does anyone really think that this is anything more than political grandstanding?… immigration gets people’s blood boiling one way or another, so politicians exploit it… as far as i can tell, nobody in this country is really interested in a rational immigration policy because there is enormous labor value to the system as it currently runs… protestations to the contrary aside, this society wants illegal immigrants because they can be paid little and enticed (forced?) to work in dangerous conditions because they live in constant fear of deportation… the long history of our society is that we keep exchanging one slave system for another… and almost nobody here is blameless as we all enjoy the fruits of almost-slave labor…
