Are legal aliens good for The USA if they are being sent here in mass with an hidden agenda?

Go and break harmony, eat their jobs and breed them too.

Yeah because nations said come on let's destroy the USA by sending them legal working hands while the rest of us are suffering from a brain drain and soon we'll be left with only old people.
Not to mention countries like yours would not be at that level anyway if moving of populations from all around the world was forbidden.
You're afraid of immigration, I'd like to watch you try to change Jus Soli first.

Imagine being so useless you fear being overtaken by someone who barely speaks the language, has no friends or support network and no relevant social experience.

If this person can come into your community and be more socially and economically successful than you, you must have been terrible in the first place.

@Morvoren No, I am not jealous. I am concerned because the whole continent can't. Check out the average fertility rate table of various nations.

@JonathanSJ No. because it neither interests or concerns me.

Depends on the hidden agenda really. Immigration can be beneficial for a country when it provides the type of skills that the country needs to be more competitive when trading internationally or serving the local population (e.g providing healthcare etc)

@JonathanSJ The problem is that these are public sector jobs and are therefore a drain on society as a whole in financial terms, however healthcare is necessary to preserve resources to partake in the economy so it is in society's interest to keep people healthy. The question is where do you draw the line - these 100,000 empty posts mean that the NHS isn't as effective as it could be at keeping people healthy - e.g. people have long waits for treatment during which time they might not be able to work. Recruiting people for them internally hasn't worked so next step should be to recruit externally.

@CheekyBadger The answer to your question is the government should focus more on increasing the fertility rate rather than focusing on the health of old age people. Old age is a concern but not while hampering with the fertility rate.

Else, not too long, we will be a minority and Noone would care about minorities just because we didn't take active interest in scaling up the fertility rate at the required time.

@JonathanSJ that is a valid point - the decline in reproduction in the indigenous population is a cause for concern but I'm not infavour of increasing birth rates in general - I think we should be looking at population reduction over the long term rather than growth - at least until we are able to populate other planets.
