"immigrants" are great, and USA is still the number one destination of immigrants in the world, by far

the key thing is to be legal, so that you work for the minimum wage

Illegal immigrants (and the people who willingly employ them) should not be allowed to stay, they throw off a supply and demand curve if they work below minimum wage, making the demand for minimum wage and wages on the low end lose out on employment

all so that middle class, and upper class, can enjoy cheaper goods made by illegal labor (mostly produce, or entry level service industries)

ill agree that the legal immigration laws are too byzantine and need a reworking, possibly to allow more legal immigrants in that we currently do

but encouraging illegal immigration hurts poor legal citizens the most, and since countries still exist, shouldnt the american government prioritize improving the lives of its own citizens, over foreign citizens?

>>we can't sustain this kind of GDP growth unless we start accepting immigrants so we can have a larger labor force.
we do accept immigrants, we are also getting tougher on illegal immigrants now

we still have plenty of regular immigrants
