    Well, of course not. What you’ll do is come to America illegally because the legal method won’t work.

    It’s just like how the GOP tries as hard as it can to maximize abortions by limiting access to contraceptives: this is an attempt to maximize illegal immigration by making legal immigration less and less of a real prospect. The GOP would much rather any immigrant be illegal than legal - e.g. because they can then pretend this problem is caused by Biden and use it in their rhetoric.

      Of course, it can be argued that it’s by design. Hiring undocumented immigrants at far below minimum wage makes companies money and they rarely get significantly penalized for it.
