[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so sick- why do you conflate illegal and legal immigration.   Please just stop.[/quote]

Let me break it down for you, since you're cognitively impaired.

Just like Japan, the US native-born population is aging, and birth rates are slowing.  Just like Japan, to support the economy, that means we need a certain rate of low-skilled immigration.  Currently,d due to our lack of a rational immigration policy, those low-skilled workers are being supplied through illegal immigration.  Therefore, to keep our economy growing, we need to create a route to more LEGAL immigration. But the illegal immigrants (and their US-born children) are what's keeping us from a Japan-style demographic collapse.  So the conflation is that we need to transform illegal --> legal.  What ideas do you have to do that?

Given that our economy needs and benefits from these low-skilled workers, but our legal system does not currently provide a route for them to work legally, it's really the legal system that should be blamed as "sick."[/quote]
