The unemployment rate is under 5 percent, even if most of the jobs produced by the Obama/Trump economy are s*** jobs. Illegals work at even lower wages than that. Their presence here lowers the wage floor for everyone.

Do you really think that the economic elites, the 1 percenters, are anxious to change this?  Do you really think deporting back the Dreamers is going to upset the low wage gravy train? It's a symbolic gesture, at best.

No GOP Congress is going to turn off the low wage labor flow either. GOP always say they will, but as with abortion and gun rights, it's all political theater for the working-class base, nothing more. Once in power, they govern for Wall Street, the banks and the CEO's.
