If you believe illegals are hurting the economy, then tell all the right-wingers not to higher them.
Isn't that kind of what we did to presidential candidates like Jeb Bush and John Kasich that refused to consider any real border enforcement or penalties to employers for ignoring immigration status because they're sold out to the establishment Republican chamber of commerce.
But you believe open borders are a market failure, and the easiest way to deal with that is government policy.
Open borders at the perpetual expense of the American taxpayer is a case of treason and should be an impeachable offense for government officials who refuse to enforce democratically established law. Open borders are no more a market failure than the war on illegal drugs are a market failure. Interesting that these two crimes go hand in hand. Would you say someone that believes not all drugs should be legal is hypocritical if he also purports to believe in free market economics?
It's not hypocritical for a liberal to want higher taxes for everyone while not offering to pay higher taxes themselves
I can give you mile long list of Democrats that keep seeking to raise taxes on other people but who don't pay their own taxes starting with Joe and Hunter BIden, Charlie Rangel, Al Sharpton, Melissa Harris Perry, etc. I gurantee you most Democrat voters think raising taxes doesn't include them but always someone wealthier. None of this accounts for the partisan political justice system with one standard for tax cheats like Hunter Biden and another for anyone who might have been affiliated with the Tea Party.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
