Protection of American jobs
This is the second easiest excuse to refute, and the most glaringly obvious example of xenophobia, plus what I like to term "chickenshitophobia". Technically, you might say chickenshitophobia is the fear of chicken shit. I prefer to think of it as a palilogical term.
Chickenshitophobes suffer from the lack of mental testicles. These are ballsless individuals who need to re-reread the Declaration of Independence. It's not the "pursuit" of life. It's not the "pursuit" of liberty. It is the "pursuit" of happiness. Neither reality, nor government, can guarantee your happiness. In a million other instances, Republicans would agree with this. Take affirmative action. For the same reason that affirmative action is a bullshit way of keeping qualified white people from getting jobs, the sending of hardworking Mexicans back into a third-world prison is a bullshit way of giving underqualified white people overpaid jobs they don't deserve.
You don't have a right to a job, you have a right to the government not preventing you from getting one. If your job requires that the government prevent others from working for less money, than you're one overpaid motherfucker. It's the rights of those in your company who would rather pay somebody else less money which are being violated, not yours.
For an open immigration policy to work, we would first need to eliminate the minimum wage laws. The reason a lot of these illegal aliens have jobs in the first place is that their employers are paying exactly what they can afford, no more, no less. The productive value of these jobs are worth what their employers are paying, they're not worth as much as the minimum wage. Force all these "illegal" jobs to pay minimum wage, and say goodbye to a lot of diligent bastards who help keep your prices down.
