It does not benefit this country in any way.
DISCLAIMER: You asked for Democrats to answer, and I am a Conservative Democrat, but the mainstream Democratic party kicked us all to the curb in the mid 70's I believe. Now Conservative Democrats like me are without a party.

Thank you for your answer and yes the blue dog democrats got screwed
There is an upside to immigration -- but not "illegal" immigration. Coming here in violation of our laws MUST stop.
We need the people. We flat-out NEED the people. Why? Because our predecessors made the mistake of setting up a national program (Social Security) that taxed the labor of the young to pay for the care of the elderly. For the very first recipients of the program, it was great -- they hadn't paid in -- but they were pulling money out. For the rest of us, we paid (still paying in my case) dearly and we expect SS to be there when we reach retirement age. We will have earned it after all.
But now lifespans are increasing and young families are choosing to have fewer children -- translation -- fewer workers to tax to pay for the burden of our elderly. So we NEED immigrants -- but they CANNOT come here illegally. We need not the poor and downtrodden at this point who will only milk our system. We need the professionals, the entrepreneurs, who can add to our society while paying into SS so our elderly (who already paid in for a lifetime) don't suffer.
We need to increase immigration from other countries and stop the flow of illegals coming over our southern border. I feel badly for them, but we have our own country to worry about.

To the point of the thread ( and my apologies if it is not)...
Any thoughts about Homan being named a " Border Czar "?
My thoughts are any " Czar " is doomed for failure in that only the Russian Czars had sweeping unlimited power and could make their will be felt.
An American Czar is an oxymoron.
Nothing happens without Congressional approval of money, resources, and laws.
Congress does not want to solve the border issue. It is their political football they like to kick around every election year.
This is why the problem will continue until the US gets a total dictator in power or some powerful Democrat gets one or two of their children murdered by an illegal alien (God forbid).
Isn't today the end of the week that Trump declared millions of illegals would be rounded up for removal from US soil?
Why worry? The president is fixing it. He'll probably confirm the total success of the operation in a tweet tomorrow while partaking in a round of golf at Mar a Lago.

Well, I guess you are in a position to pay for it with increasing costs without it affecting your standard of life.
