Yes, and President Trump has drawn them out into the open now, hasn’t he?

"The Chamber of Commerce clearly FEARS that this approach by Trump will EFFECTIVELY SHUT DOWN THE FLOW OF CHEAP LABOR!"

At this point, it's not even about cheap labor. It's about changing the country to look and act more like central America.

The vast majority of those foreign nationals breaking into our country are very low educated.
"Manual" labor in this country is changing. Not overnight, but it is changing. For example, many pickers in the fields will be replaced by automation. Farmworker vs Robot (from the Wa Compost no less) What will these low skill, low educated people do then? Feed of the taxpayer even more, of course.

As these labor intensive jobs go automated, why is their argument that we still need more than the 10's of millions here illegally already?

How about, implementing a real "guest worker" program. One that's audited by a 3rd party non gov't bureaucracy. They get 6, 9 or 12 month's to be here and work the fields, then go home. They are scanned on the way in, and way out. Anyone overstaying is deported and not eligible to return for 5 years. Any employer who helps them subvert the law, is fined x amount per case and the fines double, etc.

They don't want to fix this. They want to change the country.

One of the most delightful things I have read in a long time was a Wall Street Journal article on May 2, 2019 about the problems the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been having in the last couple of years ...

"A month before his inauguration, and shortly after he had finished a round of golf with Tiger Woods, Donald Trump was introduced to an adviser of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce… Stanton Anderson stood in the clubhouse of Mr. Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., and extended his hand to the president-elect. Mr. Trump refused it."

Said Trump: "You guys did everything to stop me. I haven’t forgotten."

Weird. My copy of the Constitution leaves out the Chamber of Commerce branch.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce needs to register as a foreign lobbying firm / foreign agent.

Isn’t it wonderful to watch the American people come together in support of our country and our president? /Sarcasm. What is wrong with everyone? I’m disgusted. The president wouldn’t have to take this tact if the Leftist Democrats would do their job and change the laws to protect this country from this invasion.
