Exactly, the same holds true for immigration. If the rich people who control the country wanted to shut down the borders, the borders would be shut down. I have yet to encounter a large voting block that is against controlling illegal immigration better.
This is not an accident.

The rich don't need to vote, they buy candidates for everyone else to 'choose' from. Think about it, if you can buy a candidate that will garner millions of votes, that's much more efficient than just having one single vote.
This isn't about Ds or Rs, or Ls or Cs. It's about $s.
