I’m trying to wrap my head around the soft stance the left takes on immigration. Which is it??

a.) the left is terrible at math, statistics, economics... they simply don’t understand the chain reaction illegal immigration has on our society... massive taxpayer expense, cluttering the public school system, cluttering county hospital system, increased crime, the challenge of tracking individuals without a social security number or an address...

b.) the left understands that illegal immigration is costly on society but since they hate themselves and America, they are willing to hurt themselves if it hurts hard working accountable conservatives more than it does them. It’s kind of like me cutting myself because I don’t like my mom and know that she’ll be hurt by my self harm lol

c.) the people coming across are predominantly future democratic voters. Thus the left welcomes them

d.) the left thinks the world should be accessible by anyone anywhere and fundamentally there should be no walls/divisions/boundaries. We can be one big happy world with >50% tax rate and everyone gets government kickdowns

e.) they refuse to accept that illegal immigration is a problem. I worked with a dumb white liberal woman who lived in a big house deep in the hills. Her husband was retired in his late 40s and collecting a big pension. She truly believed that illegal immigration isn’t a problem because she doesn’t “see it” herself. I wanted to strangle her for her ignorance and privilege.
