"But your "solution" of zero immigrants would not stop that. It might slow it down". Slowing the mayhem down is good enough for me. Domestic scum is plenty creative so why import more?
The fundamental US problem is that the country is run by idiots. When you have 450,000 visa over-stayers, open border, refugees no one wants pouring in, while nobody is enforcing immigration laws, the "idiots" label is too kind. It's treason.
On top of that, when a state attempts to help the feds catching illegals, the DC morons sue the state to stand down.
And, finally, to the average pro-immigrant idiot, that worn out phase "we are the country of immigrants" is like a holy bible - never to be debated. Like, for example, how many immigrants will one day be enough? 200 million? 500 million?
They never want to answer this question, knowing that all the other numbers - 95 million not working, 45 million on food stamps, 20 trillion of federal debt, 20% or un- and under- employed, and on and on...- are damning.
