Fox is actually mostly pro legal immigration with rare, tepid exceptions. The Murdochs are pro immigration. Wages healthcare, income equality, affordable housing are all related to immigration. You are on the side of big business and the ultra free market capitalists. It's funny since immigration rates exploded 40 years ago, wages have stagnated. People didn't want immigration rates to increase when they passed the 1965 Immigration Act. People were very happy with the low rates the country had.I agree. The panic over immigration was drummed up in 2015, it's been the central focus of the president and his supporters- from his campaign to the government shutdown, now dipping back into the military budget- it's all about the wall.
Immigration rates are near what they've been for 40 years. The number have increased since 2010 but there's no need for corporate manufactured hysteria. The immigrant population is still hovering below 15%. 30% of immigrants are Mexican. The other 60% come from all around the world. We need to think about the facts properly and find solutions with these other countries.

Wages, health care, and income equality are much more important issues to me. So are campaign finance reform, community investment, and affordable housing.
While people freak out about immigration updates from FOX, they should remember their boy has rolled back dozens of environmental regulations, given a tax break to the wealthiest banks, and cut funding for Medicare. Drumph then helps push through the USMCA (NAFTA 2.0) which Bernie Sanders opposed. It's another sell-out of US workers and producers. The greatest tool we had in 25 years to force corporations and governments to address the immigration issue was turned into a give-away to transnational tax absconders, it's disgusting.
We will expose Trump not only for the liar, pathological liar that he is... He is a fraud. He is a liar. And we will expose him for what he is.- Bernie Sanders
A little Bernie before he sold out for immigrant votes:
