    Thank you @wkamaubell for a great episode on #immigration on #UnitedShades. Important for people to understand there is no "line" & how outdated the immigration system is.

        "Because there is no line to enter legally" is the argument most often used by those who have entered the country illegally. Using the argument that I did something illegally because there was no otherwise legal way to do is a stupid argument.

        In an age where low skilled low wage jobs are going away, where the bulk of immigration is family based, the US is still granting about 1M LPR's per year, and Mexico still accounts for about 15% of all LPR's granted how do you 'fix' the system @RepJayapalhttps://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/immigrant-population-over-time …

        I’m sorry, are you presupposing that all Mexican immigrants are either unskilled or (if immigrating as children), incapable of ever participating in the skilled labor market?

        "I’m sorry, are you presupposing that all Mexican immigrants" I am not presupposing anything of the sort. Thinking in 'all or nothing', '0 or 1', 'black or white', is not something I'm really prone to doing.

        That’s fine, I was looking for clarification of your point. It’s not especially clear.

        1.) Immigration system is family based. 2.) Plurality of legal immigration is still from Mexico ~14% 3.) Majority of that immigration is still low wage low skilled 4.) Majority of illegal immigrants also still from Mexico ~50% 5.) Plan is to legalize everybody here illegally

        The percentage of US population which is foreign born is just short of the all time high that it was at in 1910. This is as a percentage. The US population in 1910 was 92M, today is 340M. If system is broken and foreign born is almost at a max, how would you 'fix it'?

        "Because there is no line to enter legally" This argument also presupposes that there should be a line, or that it is the obligation of the host country to provide a line. Immigration must overridingly benefit the host country otherwise there is no reason to have immigration.
