Just because the US economy is better than some small African nation or a war torn Middle Eastern country doesn’t mean things aren’t bad here.

Inflation is out the roof, thousands are being laid off, there’s a housing crisis, historic number of people are using food banks etc.

No country including the US can take on an endless amount of surges in population. Especially not when that surge is a group of low skill un educated bunch of illegal immigrants. Even if they could contribute greatly to our society the current state of laws makes it impossible for them to do so.

You think your family is the only ones who had no way to come to the US? There are millions of people in the same boat. Even our legal pathways to immigration are so backlogged that it’s basically impossible. Yet all these people actively choose not to be criminals and smuggle themselves into the country.

Like I said, I believe the entire system needs reform. The hardships that force people to make difficult choices is not lost on me. I just don’t think this President and his administration are solving it the right way. They only care about virtue signalling and helping businesses find cheap labour. They depend on plebs like you to defend them because you’re the product of illegal immigration yourself.
