Immigration is a necessary “evil” in order to sustain the balance of the economy and cost of items and services. What if everyone shared an entitled mindset (Americans) and revolt to work a low end job, dirty job, manual labor job or etc… for the market rate. Well you will have exactly what you saw during the pandemic. Fast food, hospitality, and other Low end jobs having to increase their cost to pay the workers demand for more money.
. Most Americans will work a dead end job for a few days months, then dip. Creating instability in those areas of those industries, while immigrants come here and tend to have a different mindset and view the job for what it is; opportunity to earn and move up in life.
I’m not for illegal immigration, but legal immigration has its pros. Getting into this country is more difficult than you’ll ever understand. Hence the influx of illegal crossing. This is not only a political failure to act by both parties it is a band-aid on an open wound. It is the reason for why the board is so bad.
