Immigration is a very complex issue which has been simplified to the point of idiocy by both parties. Repubs want immigrants from Germany and Finland; Dems want Latinos and Latinas. Repubs would send back everyone; Dems would send back no one. Currently, we have the worst of both: stupid immigration restrictions and a huge shadow population that is easily (and often) exploited.
Nice strawman you've constructed there! I have never heard a 'Dem' say we should 'send back' no one. I've heard lots of Democrats advocate sensible and compassionate asylum policies. I've also heard our Republican president refer to hispanic refugees as "rapists and murders", something that is easily disproved with readily available statistics. No equivalence there whatsoever.
