That would be a squeaky clean argument if we had a truly functioning immigration process. It’s underfunded, understaffed and absolutely broken. We literally make it easier to immigrate illegally than it is to immigrate lawfully. That’s going to have to be fixed at some point if we ever want to resolve this issue long term.

The US grants roughly 1 million immigrants permanent legal residency every year. The US also has more immigrants than any other nation in the world, by a wide margin.

Just because more people want to come here than anywhere else in the world does not mean we are obligated to accept them all, nor make it fast and easy. Yes there are issues with our immigration system, but the line is long because everyone wants in.
