>>>Bye. Take your family with you and don’t come back. Tell everyone back home America is closed. No freebies. No jobs.<<<

My opinion is immigration from Mexico is not terrible if the people come to work hard. Such people work harder than many natives and contribute to society. But the freebies that our country gives away makes the system a hot mess. You can’t take on the world’s poor in a welfare state and expect immigration to be anything but a net loss for the host country.

It’s a shame because immigration used to be a net contribution for our country.

There is a large Mexican family here, who arrived in town nine years ago. They already own four grocery stores and a restaurant. You can find them in one of the family businesses busting hump every day.

THAT is the sort of immigrant we need.

Milton Friedman - "you cannot have open borders and a welfare state".

So take your pick.
