    If the only way an industry could survive is through immigration, it is obvious that there needs to be a legal path for the skilled workers to immigrate. Maybe this should have been considered before the deportation surge.

    But I suspect given the sponsors of this legislation that this is unlikely to have a path to citizenship and will amount to indentured servitude.

      Yeah, they want immigrant labor but not immigrants.

      They’re happy to see them working a field but don’t want to have to “press 1 for English”.

      MAGAs are inherently lazy, and thinking is hard, so they don’t think beyond their initial pleasure at seeing the Libz getting outraged at their bullshit.

      It never occurs to them that Libz are pissed that the stupid policy is going to cost a LOT of money, raise prices, kill people, etc. Then those things happen, and MAGA is pissed that Libz let it happen.
