1. Both Biden and Obama administrations deported more people than did Trump during his first term.
2. Socialist Bernie Sanders long opposed lifting immigration suppressions.
3. Progressive Paul Krugman opposes lifting immigration suppression laws because he thinks doing so would reduce support for the welfare state.
4. Socialist states both historically and in the present ( North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela) enforce strict immigration suppression laws.
5. Most of the immigration suppression laws on the books were pushed by labor unions, beginning with the first national immigration suppression law, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
