One of my biggest problems with illegal immigrants is not them committing crimes, it is the liberals supporting multiculturalism. They are so afraid of being called racists and bigots they believe these people do not have to assimilate to our culture.
I can tell you the immigrants that were coming in our country in the 50-70s were very proud people that wanted to be Americans. They wanted to assimilate and embrace American culture. They embraced being called Mexican American, or Japanese American etc...
Today, immigration advocates demand the complete opposite. Come to our country, use our resources but do not assimilate because America is racist.
People that come to our country should take pride in being an American. They should want to adopt American principles and ideals like hard work and self-reliant. It seems asking these people to show pride in America is no longer acceptable?
That is a major problem. By not demanding them to assimilate, it is more likely these people will hold views that are grotesque to us. Support of Anti Semitism, support of genocide, etc

I would hazard a guess that many/most illegal immigrants are more "hardworking" and "self-reliant" than many/most of those in Middle America who are constantly complaining about them. The anger of the white working class stems from the fact that they can't compete with immigrants, who are eager to work longer hours for less pay than they are.One of my biggest problems with illegal immigrants is not them committing crimes, it is the liberals supporting multiculturalism.

That is the least of my concerns personally...
My main reason for disliking illegal immigration is the support of human trafficking, the lack of justice and fairness to those who do it legally, and the ability to keep our people and borders safe(from disease, violence, foreign actors, poverty etc.)

Really, they should be angry at the conservative and christian leaders who have indoctrinated them into an anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-fact worldview that leaves them unable to compete in a modern economy. Instead they slather hatred born from resentment on intellectuals and liberals and immigrants. Go figure.
I don't disagree. Employers should not be able to pay an illegal immigrant less than they could pay an American citizen (they shouldn't be hiring illegal immigrants at all).That (bolded above) kind of competition is simply a race to the bottom.

But I was responding to the idea that illegal immigrants are not hard working or self-reliant.

As wages drop from use of illegal immigrant labor, even hard working US citizens may no longer be self-relient.
Are wages dropping or raising in this economy? You believe alien's wages are dropping?
True, although I think that illegal immigration overall is less of a problem than outsourcing and mechanization of working class jobs.As wages drop from use of illegal immigrant labor, even hard working US citizens may no longer be self-relient.

That's true, and as I wrote previously, employers shouldn't be hiring illegal immigrants for those jobs. Nannies and housekeepers, same thing. I think they hire them, however, because they can pay them less for ultimately the same quality of work. Which brings me back to the original point about immigrants being hardworking and self-reliant (or at least driven to become so). I think we have a problem in this country where poorer Americans attach a stigma to many low skills jobs and also have serious tardiness and absenteeism problems when they do take those jobs. And this is not a predominantly black or urban problem, as I know some have suggested. The problem is every bit as bad, if not worse, in the heart of Trump country.Overall you are right but you can't outsource construction or lawn maintenance jobs but you can use third world labor to do them here.

I really do believe that the core of Middle America's recent focus on illegal immigration is resentment over having to compete with individuals who are willing to work harder, longer, and for less than these Americans feel they should have to. Since the GOP is unwilling to acknowledge its culpability in making their base non-competitive, with its pro-outsourcing and -mechanization and anti-intellectual policies, they have led the base to believe that illegal immigrants are the cause of all of their woes.

Uh, can you support your argument by providing evidence that people immigrating here are not trying to assimilate? I certainly see them getting onboard with the program better and faster than I see some 10th generation Americans who seem to want to buck the system at every turn. Look at any engineering school, and you'll see it filled with mostly immigrants, especially in the post-grad classes.
"Canada's citizenship guide informs newcomers that FGM is a crime in Canada. However Canada's prime minister has decided to delete this information," Rempel charged.
The MP was referencing a working copy of the new citizenship guide the government is preparing. The draft, which was obtained by The Canadian Press in the summer, reportedly omits lines stating that certain "barbaric cultural practices," such as FGM and honour killings, are illegal in Canada. The previous Tory government included those warnings in their overhauls of the guide.
“The Liberal party believes that terrorists should get to keep their Canadian citizenship. Because I do. And I’m willing to take on anyone who disagrees with that” because, “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian.”
Here is my biggest problems with liberals supporting some of these thugs:
Justin Trudeau is one of the biggest culprits:

In summary: Canada has a written citizenship guide that provides a warning that female genital mutilation (FGM) is a crime in Canada. Trudeau was one of the biggest leaders in trying to remove that statement until he received massive backlash.
A social justice warrior like Trudeau cares more about not offending immigrants who basically are committing barbaric practices as a cultural issue rather than condemning these animals for their sick practices.
