I can agree that there is a place for legal immigration. But mass immigration is no better than illegal immigration. The types of people that are coming is only one aspect of the issue. And arguably, the amount is of a bigger issue than the quality.
And frankly, the idea that the market needs immigrants to function is ludicrous. It doesn't need a slave labour class. If Americans aren't doing certain jobs, maybe it's time to actually examine why that is instead of handwaving it away and declaring it some unexplainable evil or unchangeable status quo.
What's more, you cannot be in favour of tariffs to improve working conditions in America to improve American lives AND support increased immigration that will fill that job market.
The whole point of tariffs is to keep work domestic, and it completely undermines that when instead of outsourcing the work to foreign workers, you instead just bring the foreign workers to a domestic setting. Fuck that. Fuck off. It's not solving the problem.
