Since you've just dismissed capitalism, what "economic system actually protects national interests?" Kindly name it

One that doesn't put greed ahead of the nation. At this moment, we have 13 million illegal aliens in this country because American businesses are willing to hire them as cheap labor, and the government (servants of the poeple!) look the other way. How patriotic is that?

Not very patriotic!

However, assuming this is all due to greed is not seriously looking at the problem. We have a labor shortage in this country with lower paying jobs. If you look at the number of abortions in this country from 1975-1987 (someone born in 1987 is 21 today) that's 12 years with 1 million plus babies killed per year. We have created this labor shortage by killing unborn babies.

Building a wall will stop the flow across the border, but it does not correct the underlying problem. We have so little regard for life we kill our own.

It is not patriotic because it both breaks and fails to enforce existing law. However, that is a breakdown of a good system, not a normal application of a bad system. So, unless you are genuinely against a free market economy with as little government intervention as is practical (and I hope you're not :), then your real complaint is against certain individuals who are breaking the applicable rules. I would join in that complaint.
