Illegal immigration is not, nor has it ever been a major issue for me. I voted for Ronald Reagan who proposed a sweeping amnesty program. I live 50 miles from the Mexican border in a state with many illegals. The so-called "problem" is way overblown. It is successfully used by my party to trigger people who don't know any better. After all, we were proposing removing workers at a time when we had historically low unemployment. And the people doing the proposing are opposing minimum wage hikes and health care programs that 'might' make the jobs illegal are doing, tolerable to native born Americans.
Illegals enhance my life. They take care of me at every turn. At virtually every restaurant in which I eat. In every hotel. (Including Trump's.) My yard maintenance is dirt cheap and very well done. The food prices I pay are very cheap specifically because of undocumented farm labor. Very few people who enter without documents are Public Health/Community Health people coming here to do consulting. This has nothing to do with Biden at all. The wall is, for me, a solution looking for a problem. And.
I grew up here and am not in the slightest frightened by the almost excessively peaceful and law abiding people. I do not fear elements of Mexican and Central American culture that are joining with my lily white background. I honor Dia de los Muertos not fear it. Marachi music makes be happy. A 15 year old young lady having a Quinceañera does not send me running terrified to the gun store. Devout Roman Catholics are, in my experience, really good Christians with a devotion to caring for the poor. In short, I am not cripplingly terrified of brown people. And I am not hypocrite enough to support building a billion dollar wall while leaving employers virtually untouched for violating the law and hiring illegals.
Until now every single US Republican president has called for immigration reform. The current racist trend is what is feeding this obsession with overwhelmingly peaceful, law abiding and productive people chosen as a diversion for white rage. Rage that comes from a lack of upward mobility, stagnant or declining buying power, and a general sense that government is not listening to them. (It is not listening on the issues important to many Americans.)
So why are republicans going after it? It is a loosing political issue? Because the health care industry had bought them out. They failed to do it in the congress so they are trying to do it in the courts. Why? Money pure and simple.
I wish you could get over your irrational fear of brown people. Immigrants are not coming here to harm you. Sad.
20 million illegals and you need everyone of them to vote for your New Messiah Joe Biden. Such the conservative you are.

A record-high 62% of voters support the Affordable Care Act, including 85% of Democrats and 36% of Republicans.
56% of voters say the ACA should be improved and strengthened, while 20% say the law should be struck down and 9% say it should be left alone.
79% of voters support health insurance protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and 61% of voters trust Joe Biden over Donald Trump to protect this coverage.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

God is a comedian playing to an audience that is afraid to laugh.
