re: #680 Decatur Deb
I couldn’t even say there is a broad Dem position on illegal immigration. The old labor Dems are certainly of two minds.
Immigration reform looks to be a different political fault line than a lot of other issues.
And it’s going to be something that doesn’t offer a simple solution. Too many people it will affect, and a lot of economic factors coming into play as the various proposals are looked at. And presumably if the settled upon solution includes much heavier border enforcement and workplace enforcement that will require growth and funding regarding a few federal departments.
