Agree. We don’t need any more unskilled labor. Over 50% of immigrant-headed (legal and illegal) households use at least one major welfare program. We are importing poverty. Local taxpayers are picking up the costs for cheap labor that depresses American wages. Schools, hospitals, prisons, etc. are being stretched to their limits. Legal immigration is a bigger problem than illegal aliens.

It’s bad enough they are unskilled. Below an IQ level of 83, it’s impossible to train them to do anything more than the simplest rote tasks. We’ve already exported or automated most of these jobs away, and many more will be lost to automation in the near future.

If ever there there was a time to curtail immigration, it’s now. We need to build more housing as it is, and get our labor participation rate back on track.
