Our economy managed to survive the end of slavery/sharecropping/Jim Crow.

I find it difficult to believe that all of a sudden we cannot exist without a imported serf class. And just when DID illegal aliens suddenly become indispensable to the economy? Was it when I wasn’t looking? Sometime before 5-7 years ago?

I agree completely. It should not be necessary to sacrifice our national sovereignty and the integrity of our borders in order to maintain a robust economy.

And the author of this article has it just about right: Cynical businessmen, no less than open-borders leftists, are contributing mightily to the current crisis. When the right (or a substantial portion of it, anyway) and the left are in bed together, it becomes all the more difficult to correct the problem.
