the democrats are a bourgeois party, and they don't want to cut off the flow of illegal labour - nor do they want to improve their working conditions. but, there is no body in the american political spectrum that represents the interests of working people, so you're left with this charade, where you need to pick between passive and active repression.
there is no flow of cheap labour from canada; rather, we seem to be acting as an escape route. so, we're a better target for a bourgeois party, such as this.
that said, i would welcome some increased border security around areas like roxham road. and, don't fool yourself - if the democrats decide to switch directions, the point is going to be keep the unskilled labour from flowing out.
i would advocate working with them to erect the appropriate barriers.
