> I voted for Obama. I believe in immigration

So, you are ok with blue collar American workers getting affected by the programs like DACA, TPS, illegal immigration etc., but when it comes to your white collar job, you don't like uncontrolled "driving down wages"?

DACA is for people who were brought over as kids. Not really their fault. What are we supposed to do send them to a country they never even grew up in?

TPS? Like Vietnam war era refugees? I mean, you’re clearly trying to conflate some big differences in immigration...

No, I’m for immigration that’s actually needed—like doctors and specialized researchers. But having worked for an immigration firm an seen what a lot of tech companies are doing, I can assure you it’s not for the benefit of the common man.

Irrespective of the reason for non-citizens to be here, It could drive down wages. You, an Obama voter is echoing the sentiments of Trump supporters that the immigrants, illegal or otherwise is hurting American citizens.

Yeah, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I’m for letting immigrants into the country—but giving an unlimited number of visas to companies to bring over underpaid workers hurts everyone.
