Do you have sources for all those claims?Harris thinks that it should not be a crime to enter our country illegally, that people here illegally should have free healthcare and education, and a path to citizenship, she supports defunding the police, she supports ending the filibuster in order to pass the green new deal, she has her own radical plan to fight climate change that we can’t afford, on and on she is too far to the left to win the general election under normal circumstances but we’re not under normal circumstances
Also - do you have good arguments for why all those things are bad?
Imagine oil was leaking across the border and people were scooping it up and refining it into stuff that helped the economy - and Donald Trump protested about illegal oil coming into the country!
That's basically what's happening here.
And I thought Conservatives valued individual liberty, and saw human beings as economic participants able to contribute to the economy? I thought it was meant to be the Left that saw people as a "problem" that needed "more managing?" Are the Conservatives here sure they understand the value of extra human labour in an economy?
“Research shows that illegal immigrants increase the size of the U.S. economy, contribute to economic growth, enhance the welfare of natives, contribute more in tax revenue than they collect, reduce American firms' incentives to offshore jobs and import foreign-produced goods, and benefit consumers by reducing the prices of goods and services. Economists estimate that legalization of the illegal immigrant population would increase the immigrants' earnings and consumption considerably, and increase U.S. gross domestic product.
Most scientific studies have shown that illegal immigrants commit less crime than natives and legal immigrants. Sanctuary cities—which adopt policies designed to avoid prosecuting people solely for being in the country illegally—have no statistically meaningful impact on crime. Research suggests that immigration enforcement has no impact on crime rates.”

Illegal immigration to the United States - Wikipedia
Oh no! I quoted Wikipedia! (More academic thinkers might have to do due diligence read the sources themselves. The less academic can just shout “But you can’t trust Wikipedia!” to their heart’s content.)
How many BILLIONS will it cost for Donald Trump to weaponize immigration to increase his personal power (Executive Creep) by bringing in the military to conduct immigration sweeps, remove people to massive camps, and eventually deport them to other countries? America would be losing good workers that prove to be extremely compliant people - and paying an arm and a leg to do it! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot economically, and then bragging about it!
