I am opposed to immigration, illegal or otherwise.
The political reality in the world of political correctness is that our immigration policy may not discriminate on the basis of merit, because to do so is be Demagogued and labeled, "racist."
To accept people into the country who are unqualified to contribute in our race for survival against the Chinese, is to sell our country to a few elitists who swell the ranks of those who cannot compete in the 21st century. The whole game is a giant Ponzi scheme which will bring us to ruin and bankruptcy but it does at least provide nannies, gardeners and cheap labor for elitists.
We are currently in serious, rapidly developing demographic black hole as the baby boom generation works its way to retirement and the members of the previous greatest generation fades away, a huge talent pool is drying up. This is something that we have been anticipating for over a decade and its upon us. The severity of the problem has been masked by the general decline in manufacturing under Obama that corresponded with start of the exodus and the fact that the white collar talent pool that tends to be on the older side sticks around longer but we are seeing the exodus accelerate at the same time the economy is trying to expand and rebuild.
President Trump has been able to lure many of the millions of long term unemployed on government welfare or disability, many of whom lost their careers at the start of Obama and have not worked since, as well as the chronic unemployed off the dole and back into the workforce but that pool is drying up and/or dying off so there is a very real shortage of technical and managerial talent as well as skilled technical workers
At the same time, there are plenty of very skilled European, Canadian, Aussie/NZ, South African, Kong Kong and South American workers who would love to escape their home countries problems and come to the US
At the same time, there are some really talented Asians and transplanted expats who would love to follow the return of many lost manufacturing industries back to the US
