This has majority support.

So did Roe V Wade.

You only care about majority support when it aligns precisely with your ideology.

Cutting off asylum?

No. That doesn't have majority support.

What had support was reducing the number of undocumented immigrants entering the nation.

People are against the Undocumented immigrants until their food prices either skyrockets or people start running out of food to buy them they'll scream bloody murder. Watch and see.

#10, the same argument applies to those who complain about those employ/exploit undocumented migrants. But go on, keep making tone-deaf statements like Kelly Osborne's "if you kick out the Latinos, who will clean your toilets?" comment.

It's interesting to see how protective of a good flow of slave labor the left is.

Slavery is illegal in America. Except maybe in prisons.

What you are referring to in your attempted snark is "wage slave labor".

And that's pretty funny coming from another wage slave laborer.
