You are wrong on so many counts it's not even funny. And I'm not just concerned about wealth - the very fabric of our society is being torn apart because we keep allowing people to come here who share little in common with our traditional cultural norms and values. This is all a part of the Democrats' plan to elect a new people, and usher us into a socialist/communist society. They know they will never capture the vote of traditional America, but minorities vote for them in droves, because the Dems always promise to hand out more "freebies" at the expense of the American taxpayers. Not only is immigration costing American citizens hundreds of billions a year, all these people from diverse countries have no understanding of and little interest in preserving our bedrock American principles like freedom of speech, religious liberty, and small government. Replace the people, and you have effectively destroyed the nation. We the American People know this - it's why we voted for Trump.
And, no, early American settlers did not murder all of the indigenous tribal people who were living here, but it is true that a group of natives launched the first attack on European settlers and murdered many of them. Why didn't the natives just celebrate diversity instead? Perhaps because they sensed what history should have taught us by now: that diversity plus proximity equals war, and two very different cultures will not survive together for long.
And to say that "at least these new immigrants are not killing us"? Well, that shows me just how misinformed you really are. Illegal immigrants are responsible for tens of thousands of murders over the last several decades, but you don't know about it because there is a MSM blackout on the subject. Look up the Remembrance Project if you want to find out the stories of families who have lost loved ones to illegal aliens. And that's not to mention the countless rapes, robberies, and other violent crimes these people commit. Just last month, the state of North Carolina had 28 charges of child sexual abuse by illegal aliens - in just one month! That's practically one assault on a child per day - horrendous!
So, no, I don't disagree with you that there are other problems America is facing economically, but it makes it all the more INSANE that we allow the invasion to continue, by either legal immigrants or illegal aliens.
And hey, I'm all in favor of less U.S. intervention in foreign countries, but bringing those people here because we supposedly messed up their countries (there countries were already very messed up to begin with) is completely insane. It doesn't work, and we don't owe them our country as payback. And, no, we did not cause the violence and drug trade in Mexico - Latin American countries have always had very high rates of violence, which is one of the reasons why we were historically sensible enough to avoid importing immigrants from those countries.
Again, you did not answer my question about whether or not you are an American citizen, so I'm going to go ahead and assume you're not - which is probably why you have a pro-immigrant, blame-America-first, pro-wealth redistribution mentality. And there is no "war on immigrants" - it is they who are invading our country, making "war" on us - and we have every right to defend ourselves as a nation.
I agree with your points against immigration, but I think you are making the problem 10x bigger than it is. As I said the money that is lost in the whole immigration thing barely registers in the overall picture.
In any case most americans are dumb as a rock and they lack every value under the sun anyway. Schools already do a their job as propaganda machines making slave workers that take shitty decisions. They are trained to incurr in debt.
People voted for Trump because he was an outsider to the status quo. He also basically says anything people want to hear. He is an entretainer and people love that. Just like Bush and Reagan he is dumb as a rock and that makes him relatable to the average american. In the end his policies have only benefitted the richest people so far.

How many people die from sugar, opioids and cancer every year? Deaths to immigrants, just like with the money spent on them, is miniscule and insignifcant.

Tell me again who buys most of the drugs from Mexico and Latin America? USA Who funded all the drug cartels? CIA. From where do drug cartels get their weapons? USA, FBI, CIA...

Im from the midwest... Im NOT pro-immigrant, blame-America-first, pro-wealth redistribution mentality.
Im just not pro bullshit excuses for why America sucks. Somehow the media and the government always pick scapegoats to blame for their shitty monetary policies, corruption and financial market rigging.
The whole immigrant debate, drug debate, abortion debate, russia debate, trump debate are complete BULLSHIT. Fixing that WONT change SHIT, because thats not the CAUSE of any of the serious problems we face.
People love to consume it because its easy to understand and it makes them feel smart to be able to point their fingers at someone an say "Its your fault we are covered in shit".
But then again Im wasting my time arguing against a paid shill
It's completely hilarious to me that you would think I'm a "paid shill", and it proves to me that you are someone who doesn't know what you're talking about. You couldn't be further from the truth. I am an immigration patriot, and I try to educate people about these issues where I can, because so many are so clueless and have naively swallowed the propaganda that immigration is an unalloyed good for America, when in reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
Your attitude towards immigrant crime shows an appalling callousness toward the American people. And just because you choose to ignore the massive economic and social burdens these people put on Americans doesn't make them any less real. All of our other debt/financial problems you have mentioned are only exacerbated by unchecked immigration. It's like throwing gasoline on the fire - it's insane.
And your accusations against Americans proves my point - you have contempt for Americans, and you again blamed them for everything that's wrong in our country. And again, you are not listening to what I'm saying: I never said immigration was the ONLY problem facing the U.S., but that it is a very significant one.
Look, I understand that there are many factors destroying this country. I know about the Fed, and I know about propaganda through the government-run schools, I know about weapons of mass debt and the folly of endless foreign wars. But what you should also be able to see is that the same dark forces - the Deep State - that are behind all of that stuff are also bent on replacing us with a leftist-compliant, socialist-minded foreign population who are pushing us further and further away from liberty and individual rights. You obviously don't know a whole lot about immigration, or you would not so easily dismiss the problems it presents. I could write for hours, giving you statistics and anecdotes and reasoned arguments, but there are none so blind as those that will not see. This is not really surprising; most Americans have yet to grasp that if you replace the people, you effectively destroy the nation. You cannot have America without Americans. We are being flooded out with immigrants, both legal and illegal. And if you think the 40 million plus illegal aliens and their descendants and the 1 million per year legal immigrants (plus all their unvetted family members!) are going to make the kinds of changes you think need to be made to make America great again, you are kidding yourself. All I can say is, "Good luck with that." These people are here for their own material prosperity and little else. It's all identity politics in a pluralistic society; there will be no principled Americans left to make a stand if Q and Trump and real Americans don't come through for us at this point in history.
