The Fed caused the Great Depression. At least that's what Alan Greenspan said.
Primarily the Fed you are correct. Milton Friedman said it too. Immigration policies had nothing to do with the Great Depression not the prosperity before it.
Japan is paying a hefty price for disallowing immigrants into their country, as they want to remain Homogenous, 1.2 applicants per job.
When that should happen in the U.S., we'll rip down every wall along the Mexican border! But by then, with Mexico's fertility rate @2.0, there'll be very few to cross the Border.
Yeah, screw the environment, we need to keep our population growing.
I can't wait for the day we hit 1 billion people and our rivers and lakes are disgusting.
Close the borders. Deny illegals anything on the taxpayer dime. Deny them food, water, shelter, health care, and their freedom if possible. Illegals are like vermin. Once you cut off their food and water supply they tend to move on. Unleash a beast like the Rat Terrier or a cat to catch and kill them, in this case, our Rat Terrier and cat would be ICE and the ones that aren't caught and killed run for the hills and go back home. A hard-line stance is meant to be cold and ugly. These are the measures that have to be taken. I say 50% to 65% of the country would go along with it too. Especially when they learn that their real-world costs of healthcare, Heath insurance, and car insurance premiums would be lower, their wages would rise and their safety would increase. Close the borders now.
I understand being against illegal immigration but, I am much more fearful of people who think like you and could actually do things that you suggest. How lucky we are to have been born in the US.
If our government was functional, maybe a compromise could be worked out where the DACA people are given amnesty and citizenship in exchange for a multi-year legal immigration moratorium. That's how government used to work, where right and left hashed out a deal with some give and take.
Nope, no DACA deal or any amesty, citizenship deal. We should be able to reduce our legal immigration quotas without that piece of crap.
I certainly think we should reduce our annual quotas for legal immigration at this time. We have quite a mess now with millions here illegally to sort out.
We need lots more working age immigrants to pay for all you old farts that didn’t have enough kids to pay your bills.
As the population ages and a higher ratio of retirees weighs on the Federal coffers, surely the best move is to artificially reduce the number of legal working-age taxpayers in this country.

Find me a post of yours where you have opposed environmental deregulation. Until then, your concern I’ll-founded concern for the environment due to population growth rings hollow.

Most of the environmental problems in the world are caused by overly populated countries.
I call that a raging success. You ~want~ more jobs than people - that's what keeps wages high and power in the hands of the workers, as opposed to the employers.
Japan would be much, much poorer today if they'd followed America's immigration policy for the past 50 years or so.
Explain Hong Kong and Singapore then please. And the Gulf countries where sometimes 80% of the population are migrant workers.
