Nobody cares because the media isn’t reporting it.
Who is the media? What are the "national interests"? Why does immigration exist?

All other immigration numbers were down, including the lowest number of refugees admitted since 1977. How is that record immigration?
There was a moderate reduction in the amount of legal immigration. Although it was higher than any time before Obama.
And while the number of border detentions are up, the total number of removals are down. Thus the question is, how many illegals are living in the United States today? Do you trust the government's numbers?
So? The country survived my great-great-great grandparents coming over from Ireland and millions of other Irish. They weren't well loved, either.
And...the Irish assimilated into our society. They became Americans through and through. Many fought and died for this country. They came here legally within the immigration laws at the time. Not all were allowed in. Many got put right back on the boat that brought them here.
For you to compare today's "migrants" to your ancestors, is an insult to your ancestors.

Funny to, how posters like him/her can't tell the difference between legal and illegal. Either that or they are purposely being obtuse.

Flooding the border with hundred of thousands of migrants is not “immigration” on top of regular immigration. You drink from a straw, not from a garden hose.
No country in the world can sustain that kind of “immigration” aka open border.

Why is that poster talking about plain ole immigration anyway when the topic of this thread is about illegal immigration? Why do they constantly blur those lines by not using the correct adjective to describe which one of those two very different groups they are talking about? Most Americans don't object to legal immigration in reasonable numbers but illegal immigration is totally unacceptable.

What do you mean by "sustain"? How many immigrants can be "sustained". Give me a number and explain why.

Are you talking or asking about regular immigration (H1B, K1,CR1, etc) or are you talking/asking about irregular immigration (people flooding the southern border by ten of thousands)?

And the latter are illegal aliens or mostly bogus asylum seekers. From his posts you can tell he is blurring the lines between legal and illegal. Legal immigrants do not flood our border they come with papers in hand and not in a flood.
