   America isn’t “full.”

   1. Without people coming here, our birth rate is such that the population would be declining.

   2. Just looking around, there’s a lot of empty space out there.

   3. Unemployment is very low.

   4. People who come here to work, including on guest worker programs, pay taxes and help fund other programs.

   Republicans’ idea is to claim the U.S. is full and to deport people.

     @azphilosopher @TonyStark The U.S. has always relied on an influx of migrant workers. Particularly, after spreading from “sea to shining sea.”
     These “republicans” just seem determined to undermine and destroy everything that interferes with what ever improves lives around them.

     @TonyStark I've read a couple of economic studies that said, if we did not have our immigrant workforce (primarily undocumented), billions would leave our economy and we'd probably end up in a full on depression.
