This past week, ICE raided Glenn Valley Foods, resulting in the biggest worksite immigration raid in Nebraska's history. Dozens of illegal aliens who were employed at the meat-packing plant were removed for deportation, according to Revolver. And this enforcement of immigration law had an interesting result that Democrats would hate to admit: Americans immediately showed up to apply for the open jobs.

It is fascinating how Democrats are using the exact same rhetoric in defense of illegal immigration that they used in the 19th century to defend slavery. Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said on CNN, "I don't think the President understands that we have entire sectors of our economy that cannot function without immigrant labor." Replace "immigrant" with "slave" and you could have a quote from a 19th-century Democrat. 

It is worth noting that America had never seen such economic growth as in the century following the abolition of slavery, because the Democrats were wrong. And they will be wrong again if Republicans follow through on mass deportation of illegal alien workers.
