Well argued, and one can only hope this might be in the works at some level. It always annoyed me when people swore up and down that immigrants pay taxes too. No, not really.

Simply deporting the majority of illegals and cutting down on legal migration and work visas would bring untold benefits to the American population. It would also restore our political order by pulling it away from the current undemocratic neo-feudalism that punishes the middle and working classes. See every blue state, especially California.

Wages would go up. Taxes would go down. Crime would be reduced. Quality of public services would go up. And every community would be noticeably cleaner and less crowded. We could enjoy a way of life that is mostly reserved for our elites.

We gotta keep making the case.

This is exactly right. There are huge costs that come with immigration. That is unacceptable. Get these people out! The only exception would be if these foreigners are actually contributing to American life: that means they are paying lots of taxes, can't become citizens, can't bring their families to be citizens either, and aren't using welfare at all.

Even then there will be problems, but they will be a lot less than they are now.

I agree with everything here. But, my only question is this. Is there any pathway within your policy to offer citizenship for immigrants that come here legally?

I think we need a massive reduction in legal migration. 90%+

It was called prop 187 and it failed.

Sorry, western democracies aren’t going to import a rightless slave caste. Not gonna work. Really backfired when we did it with niggers.
