👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻United States has always been a nation of immigrants. The “America Dream” was built on the idea that anyone who comes here legally, with talent and ambition, can succeed. If the U.S. wants to stay competitive and prosperous in the long run, it must continue to attract the best minds from around the world. That’s not optional ,it’s survival in a global economy.
Of course, not everyone can compete at the top level, and that’s where the welfare system has its role : making sure those left behind can still live a decent life. At the same time, there’s the reality that many blue collar jobs simply aren’t taken up by locals, immigration helps fill that gap, but it has to be done the right way, through a proper work permit system, not by turning a blind eye to illegal immigration. And let’s be honest, part of tolerating illegal immigration is about importing future voters, just as @elonmusk pointed out.
If you want an example of how to get this right, look at Singapore, they attract global talent, regulate foreign labor with strict work permits, and protect local workers while staying competitive. That’s the kind of balanced, forward-looking system America should be aiming for if it wants to stay strong over the long term.
One of the great strengths of the United States is that the most brilliant people from around the world can come here and have the same rights as a US born citizen
Contrary to today’s popular zeitgeist, this doesn’t take away jobs from Americans — it actually expands the U.S. economy
For example, consider if Elon Musk had not been allowed to move to the United States. Would his companies have been “started by an American instead”? Probably not. Instead the hundreds of thousands of jobs he created here would just not exist.
You definitely don’t want unrestricted mass immigration of criminals, but I feel like a lot of the hatred towards immigrants is foreign propaganda to convince Americans to destroy themselves.
