I don't understand why they are sending these people anywhere except right back to Mexico.

Immigration cops do it all the time.. they take them by bus to the border of Mexico and when they walk thru the turnstile, that's it . Game over.. that is literally how people get deported.

Immigration helps rich capital owners. An influx of low skilled labor lowers the costs by increasing the supply, and creates more demand for housing, raising the property values of the capital owners. The wealthy and powerful like immigration because it is good economics for them, but bad economics for everyone else who gets lower wages and more expensive housing

When we invite the poor "low skilled labor" to come here, when they earn money they send it home instead of recirculating it into the local economy. Or, they huddle up and form their own "closed" communities and only recirculate their money amongst their own people.

Prior to the internet and global communications and having the ability to easily transfer money internationally, things were not like this.

If importing low skilled labor is good for the u.s., then maybe we should just invite everyone from every slum around the world to come here.

Also, when we invite people to come here from countries that are politically corrupted, they bring that corruption with them and this is why we now have stolen elections, like is common in Africa and India.

Yes, this is another excellent point.

I think we are actually in agreement on this issue. Immigration is bad economics. I have no smart ass remarks at this time
