Why are you in favour of doing nothing to block more low-skilled workers coming into the US? The US is already very oversupplied with them already.

The West doesn't have enough jobs, social services and other social resources to allow their populations to increase at the present rate. By not getting very tough on migration they will make the future very tough for the majority.

Most US manufacturing jobs lost to technology, not trade.

Stopping automation in US production plants is impossible, making sure Chinese automated plants can't take more jobs and wealth from the West is sensible.

Limiting a population to a country's ability to provide a decent living for the majority is very sensible.

Policies prepare for the future are what we need. Not ones that make the future even worse.

Can anyone point out why I'm wrong and they're right about doing nothing?
