Can we agree that a massive influx of immigrants, legal or otherwise, will destabilize the social fabric of America? (illegal aliens, illegals)

I mean it already has to some extent.

Look, countries with the least diversity have the least crime, and countries with the most have the most crime.

Nigeria, Honduras, Brazil, Mexico, Uganda, etc. are all ethnically diverse countries with a great amount of infighting. American policy has usually been about maintaining a certain demographic makeup (before 1965).

After 1965 we saw a jump in crime, and then it lowered after 1994 (crime bill). But the prison population skyrocketed so all that did was move crime from the streets to the prison yard. It was just a cap on a problem that continues to grow.

Diversity is not good for the migrants or the citizens of this country. It will not end well, I am sorry.

At nearly 200K per month since last October I'd say we probably have about 1.4 million new "citizens" living here now.

And that is just apprehensions. Lord knows how many get through without being caught.
Highest apprehensions on record ever.

Russia and china are winning. Destablizing the usa is working well.

Can you back that up with facts and data? Define massive. There are 44.8 million immigrants already living in the U.S as of 2018, making up 13.7% of the population.

Undocumented Immigrants Are Half as Likely to Be Arrested for Violent Crimes as U.S.-Born Citizens

It is just reality. It is not even that they alone commit crimes, it builds up social isolation and conflict between people.

It is not and never has been healthy.

Russia and China don't need to do anything but sit back and watch us destroy ourselves by importing millions of poor, uneducated illegals.

I know, I was just using the most scapegoated nation and a serious adversary.

Also, illegal aliens are not less likely to commit crimes

I'm sure they said the same thing about Irish and Italian immigrants too.

Can't compare legal to illegal immigration.

Aside from Native Americans, we are all immigrants. How do you think they felt when we (non-indigenous people) invaded their lands, forced them onto reservations and all but destroyed their culture? Just saying.
