    You know the US isn’t the only country that has issues due to letting in more immigrants than they can handle right? You are stating a position that would be considered radical in virtually every western nation as if it were an established fact.

      the US isn’t a country that has issues due to letting in more immigrants. the US historically has a culture based in immigration and diversity as a cultural touchstone and does not suffer from immigration in the way that a country where the national identity is tightly coupled to an ethnolinguistic group would.

        Okay so I’d like you to take a few minutes to Google previous immigration waves to the US, and the strife they caused in both a cultural and economic sense.

        Just because things worked out eventually doesn’t mean there weren’t extreme issues getting there.

        Are you even American? This is something the vast majority of Americans know from both an educational and family history perspective.
