15% of US population is foreign born and illegal immigrants account for 3-4%. Economists generally see immigration as positive for US economy. Polls show most Americans agree. Both legal and illegal immigrants contribute as workers, consumers, tax payers and entrepreneurs. Also they are less likely to commit crimes than US born citizens.

I would be less bothered IF two things happened instead-
1, Deport the convicted criminals to Trump Island including the white doods and those with money, get rid of the convicted dregs of society
2. Instead of making ICE prisons change the immigration system and give an 18 month opportunity for ANY illegal to safely come to hundreds of facilities to have the opportunity to legally gain citizenship, that means HUNDREDS of facilities and no ICE goons waiting to pounce AND the staffing required with time to process those seeking to be citizens. Then after at a min of 18 months of open opportunity, THEN start to legally process those who did not take the open opportunity.
The problem is the TNC crowd like Raiders above want to create havoc and harm as a narrative rather than give opportunity and the chance that MILLIONS of others took over the 250 years to come here and live life.

Who cares? It is not just an economic issue.
Who cares if they contribute even more than your own lazy citizens?
That is not the issue.
Just lazy logic the Left uses to justify importing more illegals.
No real economist will justify a good economy off of the backs of modern day slavery.

Says someone that has not faced a broken system without resources or opportunity. Maybe the script should be flipped and its white dood deportation without any resources or explanation or recourse.
When did that happen? I think that was WWII if I recall, one group got "deported" and all the others stood by allowing it. I guess your version of the US does not include equity, opportunity, freedom and representation. Mine does...

Pretty disgusting view almost like someone who never needed opportunity or resources. Ive been in the opposite position in life and maybe that is why I understand and view everyone as human not just white legal citizens as Trump does.
If you want to stand on a pulpit you better have the house in order first and our immigration system has never been in order through the entire history of this country.
Instead of dropping bombs on Israels enemies we could have built that stupid wall and staffed it for a decade, set a moratorium on the ICE goons, give anyone seeking citizenship a 18 month window to find it and THEN lay down the draconian sword that you are wielding but only after being respectful and considerate first.
There is not a single legal citizen who has their lineage which meets your measure, not a single one. This country does not exist with your framework and viewpoint but yeah lets throw down the axe because we got ours and who cares about anyone else.

The rules work when the system and framework are pure and without flaw. Its almost like you are saying corruption and fraud are ok because who cares we are here and that is all that matters.
As a people we expect the system to be fair, honest, legitimate and free of fraud in order to enforce what laws we have in place. If the system is incomplete and inadequate and we are detaining people who are citizens and/or law abiding means the first focus and priority must be to fix what is broken before we start mass deportation.
It is almost like you have no interest in giving illegals the opportunity, resources and choices that HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people received since this country was founded illegally.
We are all ilegals..you included.

It is absolutely nothing at all like saying corruption and fraud are okay; they are not. That is silly.
No. As a people you should expect the country's laws to be upheld. If you want them changed, then change them.
Nothing is broken in the system except you are not enforcing the rules -- by choice. Fix that and everything else works itself out.
You see that with the sudden decrease in illegals when the Left insisted 'new changes' needed to be made -- it was all nonsense. Just enforce the current laws and rules.
As someone who lives in multiple countries, I have done it all according to each country's laws and regulations.
That is all the other folks need to do as well.

Our immigration system has NEVER functioned properly, in 250 years it has never been without flaws..it is not in the last two years or the last six years or the last twenty years. The immigration system does not serve the core principals that founded this country. If we had your logic and flippant view of other humans then NONE of us would be here. Hundreds of millions of people have slipped through and around the immigration system and have manipulated its flaws like my mother and Trumps family and your family and every single family in this country.
The US was founded on the abuse of the very system you claim needs to be enforced, we are all illegals because if the system has never worked properly and has never been fair or just and discriminates then NONE of us are legal...all of us are illegal. MILLIONS of people have lived here for long periods of time not having citizenship, using your angry blanket approach NONE of us would be here let alone the way we have trashed on the native Americans and minorities over our past.
If nothing you fix the flaws first and give fair and reasonable opportunity for ANYONE living here NOW and make a fair and honest deadline, give anyone the chance that MILLIONS received and were granted grace through the very flawed system we still have now.
It is quite sad how your side views illegals as sub human and not deserving of respect and consideration...like insects who are taking from your privilege as if you deserve opportunities and they do not.

Do not put words in my mouth like you did Trump a few posts back. I do not view illegals as sub human. I just view them as illegal.
I do not fault them. I have been to the parts of some of the places they are coming from. I would do the same thing.
That is not the issue. The issue is allowing them to come in illegally, more or less encouraging them, and letting them stay.
There is certainly no reciprocation. Try to go to Mexico illegally and set up camp there.
If they know they are not going to be allowed in and if they get in they will be deported -- they will stop coming in illegally. You have already seen how that halted the flood of illegals.

The system certainly worked just fine for many years. It was adjusted according to what the country felt was needed at the time and wanted at the time.
That was for legal immigrants.
No system works if you do not start off by enforcing it.
Then if things change and the system needs changing then you change it -- just as in the past.
But illegals are the issue and not legal immigrants. That part of the system is not flawed either, the rules and laws of the system are just not enforced.
