On principle, public education is a state vs. general government responsibility in our Constitution. Republicans have promised and failed to shutter DoE since the Carter Presidency. I'll believe it when I see it. Another step would be to denationalize college student loans https://t.co/K77Ki19A62

No. Prohibition creates a perverse incentive for a hidden economy. The status quo essentially amounts to a racist ban targeting Latinos. What we need is a more open, orderly immigration system, including visiting worker permits, not deportations of de facto Americans.
