Mass immigration does expand the economy, at least many sectors of it. But at what price? When there’s 1 billion or 2 in the country would be that enough or do we keep importing more for the sake of profits? Does heritage, language, and culture count for anything in all of this or is the US just a shopping mall where consumers come and go to do business?

I wouldn’t say that it is immigration that expands the economy. It is that our growing economy has created a surplus of jobs.

A billion? Uh... not likely anytime soon. What we really need more than anything else is to make some more babies. We’re barely keeping up as it is, hence the need for all these immigrants.

Say what you want about all the Mexican immigrants, and sure there’s some troubling cultural issues about non-assimilation. I get that. But at least they’re mostly Catholic. Europe’s muslim immigration problem is an order of magnitude more of a pure distilled threat to their culture and history — their existence.

Tens of millions of poor, uneducated, unskilled, ignorant, proto socialist immigrants doesn’t help any economy. It hurts it badly and is a huge burden in Social security and welfare benefits.

If population increases helped the economy then why are so many third world countries that have high birth rates like Mexico complete economic disasters?

It is technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, free markets and automation that increases productivity and raises living standards. These uneducated immigrants stifle innovation, stifle automation and advancement of technology.

Japan doesn’t need to import millions of Mexicans . They build robots to work in their car factories. That hasn’t hurt the quality of their cars by the way.
