Yeah, I am generally viscerally horrified by the procedures of ICE/CBP but I am still somewhat disgusted by liberals counterargument that we need immigrants to do jobs that are beneath us.

Nothing is beneath us, except what's beneath everyone.

Yes and, very little of the billions in AI spend seems to be aimed at boring, dangerous, or low-paying jobs.
Wishcasting. The US could let in tens of millions of immigrants in a single year.
