Alt-facts hits most of them habitually, but in this case, I'd say...

16. Russia.
17. Fox News/Alex Jones/Brietbart/infowars/Stormfront/Gateway/hannity/OAN.
18. You can’t read.
19. Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump.
20. What about...
I know. But the thought of Democrats actively 'importing' illegals to do cheap roofing work is absurd.
If you don't like the competition, then report the contractors.
Even though the illegals are as dumb as a box of rocks, they work harder and longer than any American worker. Especially those union guys we hear so much about in this thread.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Althea: "'Importing' cheap labor is a talking point."
Jack: Yes. Yes, people are talking about it. How many people will be allowed into the US. One Million? Five Million? Ten Million? Twenty Million? Fifty Million? Do you have a Number?
Althea: "Our economy depends upon migrant workers in the fields, and in meat processing plants. If you want to demand American labor in every market, I'm with you."
Jack: The 'Migrants' have probably been here 20 years. If you granted them citizenship, they wouldn't be 'Migrants', they would be 'Americans', with all the Rights Americans have like Social Security, Unemployment, and all the rest. No fear of being Deported.
Althea: "But you cannot turn around and complain about vastly higher prices for food."
Jack: I'm not complaining about food prices. Anyone who is, needs to go out and pick lettuce for a week.
Althea: "It's a delicate balance."
Jack: No it's not. It's about Capitalists taking advantage of the Working Class.
Althea: "Now...illegals working at construction jobs has become an issue in the last two decades. If you want to crack down on this, then drop a dime on your local contractors."
Jack: No Worker is going to 'drop a dime' on a Brother Worker. Everybody wants to feed their Family.
It's a political decision that the Capitalists like just like it is. A Workforce that is in fear of Deportation.
I thought I taught you how to use the quote feature?
The bolded above is exactly what the Senate passed in '13, but Republicans refused to bring to a vote in the House.
Why is that, and how will making them 'legal' give you a job?
BTW...under Bush Jr, it was deemed 'ok' to let them get SSI numbers to withhold FICA that they will never see when they retire.
