WRT antitrust, what’s generally regulated these days is nothing, nada, zilch.

I wonder if immigration hardliners feel the same way about lack of enforcement at the border.
They sure do, but that doesn't make it any more true.

"Assuming that the estimates are correct, got aways have fallen significantly since 2006. In that year, Border Patrol estimated over 600,000 aliens successfully crossed the border and evaded USBP. By 2011, that number had evened out to just under 100,000, where it has remained until today."

Plus hardliners are very much disputing that some refugees are fleeing from real danger.
