If that is the decision (I've thought the same thing myself) then it could be accomplished by increasing *legal* immigration.
Maybe that would be too hard to accomplish politically.
The one big "benefit" of illegal immigration is that illegals work for less than legals.
ILLEGALS can also be controlled like slaves.
They can always be threatened with deportation, separation from their children and spouses, via partial family deportation... and they KNOW that.
that means that not only will they work for dirt, they KNOW their place in the pecking order, and can be controlled en masse by threatening them as a class legally.
they are the new kind of 'slaves' we can use to pay off our social security deficit, keep property values up by increasing demand and offer 'citizenship' for going to war.
gold and real estate used to be considered types of capitol
now we are realizing that the only REAL capitol, is human life, labor and demand on the marketplace...
no humans, no value... to anything.
and no matter the commodity, without humans to mine, refine, manufacture and consume... NOTHING has any value whatsoever.
the illegals are the new emerging slave class. the new chinamen, the new irish... and they have constitutionally none of the guarantees we do.
how nice for businesses, government and socialists.
