    David Frum is a problematic figure obviously but he recently spoke about the border issue and said some things about it that I wish the left would capitalize on. He tied the immigration problem to America’s booming economy and low unemployment. He said it’s a massive ‘help wanted’ sign that a lot of people in other countries can’t ignore.

    I think it’s excellent messaging to relate everything to the economy somehow and this really puts it into perspective - they aren’t stealing jobs, rather they’re filling roles that the US currently has no one left to fill. AND they’re contributing to a booming economy, not ruining it somehow.
