I guess we can agree to disagree.
I am pro-legal immigration, but not unrestricted. I think we should only allow a merit-based legal immigration.
Your chart doesn’t say to me that immigration is the problem so much but rather having a too generous welfare system. Immigration to this country should be a privilege, and not being a ward of the state.
We should strive, as a matter of policy, to recruit the hard working worthiness of immigrants as but one test of quality.
Unfortunately, the whole thing has been a woke-fest of diversity of surface features and non-Christian religions since Ted Kennedy got his immigration “reform” passed in the 60s.
Well, a Republican Washington needs to reverse the Terd Kennedy reforms and make welfare an instant cause for rescinding naturalization and deporting the parasites.
PLUS! The gubmint has a ready made list perfect for purging the thieving foreign welfare pigs.
Thanks for the always informative deep dive into an issue and the data to illustrate it. Much appreciated in these days of “ quick quotes” with no data
