    Default Immigration

    'Within a decade, the foreign-born percentage of the U.S. population will surpass its previous all-time peak — and then keep rising.'

    I thought this OP important enough for APP section. Certainly a complicated topic. Comments welcome from all.


    "But large-scale immigration also comes with considerable social and political costs, and those must be accounted for. In November 2018, Hillary Clinton delivered a warning to Europeans that mass immigration was weakening democracy. “I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration, because that is what lit the flame,” Clinton said, referring to the upsurge of far-right populism destabilizing countries such as France and Hungary. “I admire the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken, particularly by leaders like Angela Merkel, but I think it is fair to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message—‘We are not going to be able to continue to provide refuge and support’—because if we don’t deal with the migration issue, it will continue to roil the body politic.”"

    If you had read the article you would have seen immigration is more complex and stopping illegals is a small piece of the puzzle. Read it.

    You always thinks problems are massively complex, when in fact they are simple.
