I think you missed the point here. Flooding the market with low skill immigrants huddling in an 18 wheeler is not good for the economy.

I'm not sure what's so funny. It currently takes a minimum of a year to get an immigration visa through the Feds. That's if you are lucky. Even their website says it could take in excess of three years....

Why is this acceptable to anyone?

Because...I am ALL FOR 'petitioning my government' to change and make it more efficient. But, I am NOT for open borders or "if you can and will sneak in...you are good"

You say the market would drive them out? No it wouldn't because there are plenty of government programs to sustain them even without jobs.
You can't have unfettered immigration and a welfare state at the same time. I'm not sure that anyone would argue that (except Democrats). It should be ridiculously easy to come here to work, but we should also get rid of gov't welfare programs.

He’s looking at country of origin and skin tone. That’s all he has to go on from that picture. I’m not really taking many liberties.
Also, not really an appropriate use of castigated.

JEEBUS.
I would guess he doesn't support Bernie Madoff, either. Because, you know...he was a cheating, criminal frick.

I suggest you go back and read the exchange on page 1 and try to comprehend it.

(Immigrants) start new businesses at twice the rate of nonimmigrants. Roughly 70 percent of immigrants express confidence in the American dream, compared with only 50 percent of the native-born.
Immigrants have much more traditional views on family structure than the native-born and much lower rates of out-of-wedlock births. They commit much less crime than the native-born. Roughly 1.6 percent of immigrant males between 18 and 39 wind up incarcerated compared with 3.3 percent of the native-born.
What about the rise of social distrust? Restrictionists often cite a 2007 Robert Putnam study finding that more diversity leads to less trust. But Putnam tells me they are distorting his research. He found that diversity’s benefits outweigh its disadvantages, that trust declines over the short term as places grow more diverse, but that over the long term Americans find new ways to boost social solidarity.
What about assimilation? Restrictionists argue that the melting pot is broken. But the definitive survey of the literature from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine finds this is not true. Most descendants of immigrants stop identifying with their ancestral homelands and simply think of themselves as white. In the 2010 census, 53 percent of Latinos identified as white, as did a similar percentage of Asian-Americans with mixed parentage.
In 1945 Germany was divided. One part went capitalist and the other went communist. After a half-century it was perfectly clear that capitalism was a more successful system than communism.
Over the past few decades America has, willy-nilly, conducted a similar experiment. About 500 counties, mostly in metro areas, have embraced diversity — attracting immigrants and supporting candidates who favor immigration. About 2,600 counties, mostly in rural areas, have not attracted immigrants, and they tend to elect candidates who oppose immigration and diversity.
The results are just as clear as in the German case. Between 2014 and 2016 the counties that embrace diversity accounted for 72 percent of the nation’s increased economic output and two-thirds of the new jobs. The approximately 85 percent of counties that support restrictionists like Donald Trump accounted for a measly 28 percent of the growth.
Republicans’ problem is that since George W. Bush left town they’ve become the East Germans of the 21st century. They have embraced a cultural model that produces low growth and low dynamism. No wonder they want to erect a wall.

Unless I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make, your view makes no actual sense. The random hoards of people flooding in are not the product of a free market "pick list"..."I need 3 tomato pickers, 2 doctors and an engineer..can you deliver them in a eco-friendly package?" The leftovers are composed of hoards of needy people who will do whatever they need to do survive. Thats fine for the jungle, but most don't care to have jungle types forced down their lives.

It would not be an accurate account of what happened here.

At least 20 soldiers in there. Isn't that what the Dems are always claiming?

I think all illegal aliens should be castigated or have some other procedure to render them unable to produce children. It should be a mandate to enter the country. The women too.
This is just common sense. I bet they breed like squirrels.
