Which only begs the question; why should the laws restrict immigration?
Maybe not to you, but the teeming masses of Trumpites out there wouldn't care about this issue if it were Germans or Scots entering the country illegally.
Or not as much, anyway; you'd still have the "muh jerbs" fallacies.
Now, I know you have seen this before, because I have posted it about 30 times.
In one of the most neglected sections of his Notes on Virginia, Thomas Jefferson posed the question, “Are there no inconveniences to be thrown into the scale against the advantage expected by a multiplication of numbers by the importation of foreigners?”
What was likely to happen, according to Jefferson, was that immigrants would come to America from countries that would have given them no experience living in a free society. They would bring with them the ideas and principles of the governments they left behind –ideas and principles that were often at odds with American liberty.
“Suppose 20 millions of republican Americans thrown all of a sudden into France, what would be the condition of that kingdom?” Jefferson asked. “If it would be more turbulent, less happy, less strong, we may believe that the addition of half a million of foreigners to our present numbers would produce a similar effect here.”

On the other hand, I understand why those who want the nation to completely fall would want unlimited immigration. Because they are either globalists who want to roll the country into a world government, or they are useful idiots to the globalists who naively believe that if the nation would hurry up and fall, they would be allowed to rebuild it from the ashes.
