Opposition to Senate Border Deal

The Senate border deal is facing opposition, with Bob Menendez, Alex Padilla, and Bernie Sanders among the no votes. Menendez and Padilla argue that mass illegal immigration depresses wages for lower-class Americans, and Sanders opposes the deal on philosophical grounds, advocating for a net migration level of zero over the next 30 years. The opposition also raises concerns about the impact on wages and emphasizes the need for an orderly process and legality in immigration. However, a counter argument suggests that the country can handle a higher number of immigrants and that immigration is beneficial for the economy and reflects core American values. The debate also highlights the need to fix systemic issues in the immigration system and properly allocate resources to handle the influx of migrants.
