There are many, many employers who will pay more for these people to stay in the US. Let's let the free market decide. There is nothing like workers seeking their value and highest wage in the labor market. That's what makes America a great place...

You know what would be a better offer?

Offering people who have overstayed their visas, or crossed into America without coming through an approved port of entry, citizenship.

These people are contributing members of society, some who have been here for decades and have contributed more to society than most worthless conservatives ever will.

Trump is robbing America while telling conservatives foreigners are the problem.

It's so stupid.
