I still don't understand why the left wants more people in the country driving down wages at low skilled positions.  I mean, I get that they want the votes, and I suppose that's all that matters to most of them, but surely some must see that mass immigration of unskilled workers is very bad for the unskilled workers already here.

Don't let the facts get in the way of your anti-immigrant tirade.

How could the Democrats feasibly adopt a tougher anti-illegal immigration stance? Obama has deported more illegal immigrants than any President in U.S. history.

Rhetoric =/= action. Regardless of how he's handled the immigration issue, the party has still articulated a pro-illegal immigrant (not necessarily a pro-illegal immigration) stance. Feasibly speaking, I'm talking about settling on both issues. Perhaps not within 10 years, but maybe 20-30, though honestly I was just trying to pick an issue that Democrats are hardline on now.

Neither party is remotely "pro-illegal immigrant." The rhetoric of Obama and the Democrats is that of a 'path to citizenship', 'background checks', 'fines and requirements to learn English', and deportations for those who do not abide in that process. A truly pro-undocumented worker policy would be one that ends ICE raids, grants immediate and unconditional amnesty (with no fines, no requirements to learn English or any of that nativist nonsense) to undocumented workers and recognizes open borders with Canada and Mexico alike.
