Trump is preparing us for the time when he starts sending troops to other cities, to "restore order." He already has done it to LA.

I say let the people in. Who else is going to do all that work? As for people "stealing" jobs, let the best man win. Why should established residents get special treatment? As for overtaxing society, make sure taxes are high enough to cover it all. Eventually the new folks build wealth, too.

@JoyfulSilence Let in an amount of people we plan and budget for .. like the rest of the world controls their borders ? Sure. Wide open border and 10-20x what we saw historically / can hope to pay for with no vetting, no oversight? No .. absolute lunacy.
I pay enough in taxes and the vast majority will purse social support at some level and over years and years We have more debt and people on social support than we can manage now.

It is OK if people from another state come to mine for work and to live, and vice versa. Why not other countries?
As long as there is an even playing field, of course. Similar rights, conditions, no tariffs or trade barriers, similar labor, commerce, and environmental laws, democracy, rule of law, etc.
Where there are imbalances and issues, have restrictions until remedied.
I mostly just hate the xenophobia and hatred. People are people. As long as they are not criminals or terrorists, and leave their religion in their private life and do not try to force it on me. Of course, a lot of this danger is home grown. I think we should outlaw churches, dark money, and greed before we block some poor guy from Mexico who just wants a job.
But they should try and learn the language. I am at McDonald's now and had a hard time understanding the cashier. Of course, nowadays they prefer we use the kiosk. All they do now is deal with the drive thru, and the dine in folks have to wait for a human to notice we are here and come from the back to serve them. Corporations suck.

You are not alone in your feelings. I'm more to the right. But there must be limits and rule of law. Unfortunately many are willing to look the other way in hope of something they hope to happen. I'm afraid by the time everyone figures it out, it will be too late. The Smithsonian being "corrected" is the fate of many once thought impossible to fail institutions. Having a UFC match at the White House - a sacred place -is so sad. There is no respect for our country.

@SomeMichGuy I can't argue with that logic. First immigrants. Then citizens and citizenship.

Born and raised, I am an Anarchist, and from a broadview perspective, there's a lot more going on than most people will ponder and realize.
...
Do not mistake me for a centrist; being Anarchist means, I am apolitical; the left-right-sideways nonsense, is beneath me, by leaps and bounds.
...
Solution? Not a quick one, but a very long-term one that I don't think anyone is going to even consider. Decentralize. Globally.

@Amyrakunejo our forefathers were vehemently opposed to centralized government; we went to war with England over a 10% tax on tea, the civil war was due to in large part, over-federalization/centralization. A Republic is the only type of government that has worked sufficiently for any length of time, and is what we're supposed to be; pure democracies are a disaster waiting to happen, as are any other government that's been tried.
This constant push towards centralized global government (one world order) will eventually reduce everyone to anarchy
