My position is that the immigration system needs a gigantic overhaul to allow people to quickly, easily, and cheaply migrate and recieve asylum legally. The current system is the exact opposite in every way.
Modern republican policy instead says “fuck it, fuck them, just deport them all”.
Democrats are fuck ups on this issue too, don’t get me wrong. But by and large the majority of the fault on this issue can be attributed to republicans.
Immigration is one of our country’s core strengths. Don’t you remember that “melting pot” stuff from civics class?
Immigrants are a net positive for the economy, and for our country, so I don’t have a problem taking in as many that come. When immigrants come here, they bring their businesses with them and/or start new ones. And I like that.
That’s effectively what people said about every single group in the U.S.
Catholics, italians, protestants, irish, etc. Doesn’t matter, there will always be somebody around to be a bigot against some group. In the end it’s dumb because the melting pot is too big to really be effected. Even at 2m/year that’s a 0.6% change a year. Big whoop.

It’s not just republicans. Obama deported more people than any other president before him.

We already have that system. The problem is we take in 19.1% of the worlds immigrants, thats over 50 million immigrants and thats simply too much. Those numbers were grabbed here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_the_United_States
The solution is not illegal immigration.

You can still screw up a melting pot by putting in the wrong stuff. Especially if you put in a lot of the wrong stuff.
