The embrace of illegal immigration was always so that corporations could exploit them for cheap labor w/ no power and drive down wages for all workers.
Progressives like to ignore that inconvenient truth.
And yes, Republicans are hypocrites that outright lie, taking advantage of the cheap labor while crying about it. The way to drive down illegal immigration is to jail their employers, which Republicans will never agree to do, because they are the employers.

Or the politicians who get easy votes because of promising free things. It's easy to blame a political side but it's not so simple.

Immigration policies need to be followed and we need our border to be secure. Citizens must come first including in employment. Anything else, including fast-tracking easy access to American citizenship to appease progressives, is just what you described.
