The Truth About Immigration

There's a lot of talk, talk, talk about blocking immigration and there has been since the beginning of the nation state, and probably the city-state and all the way back to ancient tribalism. The facts are these: people who want to get in WILL ALWAYS find a way to get in. The notion of blocking human beings from infiltrating through the almost infinite borders of a country the size of the US is insane, since it has been demonstrated impossible in a country the size of Italy (which can fit inside of about half of Texas.) People in first-world societies do not even want to imagine working the kinds of jobs that legal and illegal immigrants work. The US economy, along with the European ones, would collapse completely without this hypocritical game of complain and hire, complain and hire. Nothing is ever actually done about immigration "problems" and never will be, since the corporations you are talking about RUN THE PLANET and they need those workers, while the politicians need the racist subplot to get you to vote for them!! The whole thing is a political game and you are being manipulated by the pols for votes. Nothing else.
