    There should be zero illegal immigration into the USA.

    Because immigration should never be a crime.

      Immigration is never a crime, because immigration is done through established channels.

      Maybe your right though and we should stop calling people who violate international borders or break the law by violating visas illegal immigrants, because that is a politically correct term.

      I know you are actually arguing against the existence of countries in favor of a single planet spanning global commune, I just couldn’t resist.

        We could also just have countries without controlled borders. Border control and citizenship are very new concepts. And they suck.

          I have never heard someone call all of recorded human history relatively recent outside of paleontologists or geologists.

          You can’t have open borders and welfare at the same time, it doesn’t work.

            Sure, because you’d realize the developed world’s wealth comes from exploitation and that you don’t actually want to give it back
