Our economy is built on a never-ending need for customers.
Look at the example cited in this article. The 10 agricultural workers referenced here aren’t brought to the U.S. because they are “cheap labor.” They are brought here because they are 10 more Walmart customers, 10 new potential buyers of cars or trucks, 10 new patients at the local medical clinic, etc. Every one of these industries has a financial stake in bringing people here to buy more things.
About twenty per cent of our workforce is foreign born. To undo this deeply rooted situation won’t be easy, even if enough genuinely want to unravel it.
No that is not correct. All the countires of western europe had tremendous growth after WW2.
In france it was called Trente Glorieuses or Les Trente Annees D’Or. (thirty golden years)

Until the "Soixante-Retards" gained power.
And because of the Gerontoracy of the West, the Soixante-huitards are stil in power
That all changed when both Germany and Japan were back on the map as major industrial producers. I don't think Germany reached its pre-WW2 steel production peak until the mid-1950s, for example.
The Marshall Plan helped, but it ended in 1952.
If you look at france industrial production you can see why they defined it as the 30 golden years.
Indice de la production industrielle en France, à prix constant (base 100 en 1938)[réf. souhaitée]
1938 100
1947 99
1957 204
1967 338
1973 452
Long term, the ONLY solution which is in the long term interests of US citizens, is to mechanize rather than continue to depend on illegal alien labor.
Look to South Africa for what happens next.
Exactly.
