Currently, Americans aren’t reproducing at the replacement rate. So, some level of immigration will be needed in order to prevent a disastrous population implosion.
But how much immigration should we have, and on what basis should we select our immigrants?
When someone in a poorer country says she wants to become an American, it’s not nice to say no. It also makes me a bit uneasy for our government to select would-be immigrants based on the purported “value” of those immigrants. On the other hand, an immigration lottery is so arbitrary that it seems its own sort of cruelty.
The alternative, which very few people openly advocate, is open borders:

As I commented yesterday, they want to replace half of us.

Do these 160M people want to come here legally or just walk across the border?
I will bet you that most of the world believes everyone in the United States live like the people portrayed in the movies. And all for free!

Biden’s “open borders”, and “catch and release” unlawful schemes along with him completely ignoring the immigration laws passed by Congress, has made the borderline unmanageable, and has allowed millions of illegal aliens from the third world to flood into the USA. Coincidentally just about all of those illegal aliens fit within the minority categories of Democrat identity politics. Biden has been ridiculously saying that he considers those illegal aliens to be analogous to the Jewish people who fled Nazi persecution before and during the Second World War, and that they must be allowed to gain entry to the USA to individually apply for asylum in the USA because “that’s who we are”.
Now we have the media telling us that there are 160 million people in foreign countries who would like to enter and resettle in the USA to make essentially a better life for their families and for themselves. If such a mass migration ever got up a head of steam with tens of millions actually and continuously unlawfully crossing Biden’s “open borders” in violation of the immigration laws under the fraudulent guise that they are all eligible for asylum in the USA, chances are the country before long would no longer exist as it is today and would devolve into a third world like country. The reason that Biden, supported by the leftist Democrats, are allowing such a mass illegal migration, as we see today, is all political, as Biden and the leftist Democrats objective clearly is to use as many poor, supposedly socialist oriented, and uneducated third world illegal aliens as possible to permanently change the electoral and population demographics of the country, believing that just about all of the incoming illegal aliens will embrace the socialist Democrat political agenda, and will become leftist Democrat supporters and in the years ahead, and most importantly to the leftist Democrats, a new and massive leftist Democrat voting constituency that will keep growing unabated as new illegal aliens are granted Democrat designed amnesties, become leftist Democrat voters, and in overwhelming numbers overwhelm and wipe out the wimpy Republicans. The first political affect will take place after those untold millions of illegal aliens are counted in the next U.S. Census greatly increasing the total population totals in the Democrat run sanctuary cities and areas, thus causing, by their presence alone, the redistricting of a yet undetermined number of congressional districts into those Democrat run cities and areas where leftist Democrat candidates will be a sure thing to win the resulting congressional elections in those new districts, and thus give the Democrats what would be from there on out a permanent majority of congressional seats to control the House of Representatives. From their response so far, you have to wonder if the wimpy Republicans even have a clue?

A country cannot have welfare programs and open borders period. It is not sustainable. Poor illiterate and low skilled immigrants have been shown to be a drain on the US economy taking out much more than they contribute. If you want open borders, we must pass a law that no immigrant will be eligible for any Government assistance or program for 7 years and then only after they have become a legal citizen.

160 million? The government can ignore that many illegal invaders in a day.
And if we stopped it tomorrow 100%, how long to eject the criminals that are already here? I wont live long enough to see the sewer cleaned out.

It means a lower standard of living and much higher crime rates for those of us who have built our life in America from the ground up. In the past we found it necessary to repel invasions from third world countries with every weapon we had at our disposal. Don't make us do it again.

Isn't the topic of that orgy in Davos that we have too many people in the world? It's a good thing we aren't doubling our population every 10 years or so. We have desecrated out lands for highways and homes. Time to stop importing people we have no idea what they want to come here for and let them straighten out their native lands.

Wait until liberal federal judges start demanding through their rulings that local communities across the USA must raise up their taxes to fund the building of a huge number of new public schools and hire all the bilingual teachers necessary to service the illegal alien, and U.S. citizen children because of birth in the USA, that have been created by the 160 million, or likely much more illegal aliens, from the third world, who fit within the minority group categories of leftist Democrat identity politics, and who have decided, along with the leftist Democrats, that they have a right to unlawfully enter and live the USA for “a better life”.
