President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.
“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

It has mostly been Republicans (since all the small/medium business owners I've met out here are conservative) but for all their ranting against immigration, they seem to have the most immigrant labor at below market pay, including indentured servitude scams like charging them for lunch in order to cut down their bill for the day.
I've seen mexicans, russians, and not-illegal tweakers all treated like this.
For all the talk about not wanting immigration, they seem to like it just fine if they can get cheap slave-like labor to cut their own costs.
Honestly I might have most respect for them if they just pushed for flat tax rates without exemptions to show they were serious, because the ones I have known are also likely to double-book their income for tax purposes and try and avoid paying anything to the state they don't need to, usually not by legal means.
Honestly if half of the businesses I've gotten backend views of were to be running everything aboveboard, I am curious how financially well off they would really be, and what effects it might have on what laws they were willing to push to other's detriment.
