It's funny you substitute white nationalist with elitist, then mention brown people immigration  One thing foreigners don't often realize is a lot of our "illegal immigration" in the states are refugees from Venezuela/South America that Mexico lets through their borders.
Skilled immigration is the best way to go but unskilled labor is needed in America and our H-1B visa program needs to be fixed. |
I agree about children who were born in a country and are now old enough to fend for themselves. Those still living with their parents and no legal relatives to live with, should go with their parents.
I don't care about a migrants colour, only their value to their new country.
The very few jobs that require unskilled labour are an area we can deal with. For one like fruit/vegetable picking, these are fast becoming automated. Maybe slaughter houses as well could be another. The rest need to go to Americans, especially black Americans, who don't have jobs at a pay rate that takes them off Government benefits and able to contribute properly.
At the moment wages are being forced down so low that even working people are living in State benefits.

The taxpayer, you, are subsidising the wealthy, Walmart, to keep their wage bills low and profits high.
In the UK it's even worse. With a lot of working people getting In-Work-Benefits to top up the wages because employers won't pay enough.
