    Okay so I’d like you to take a few minutes to Google previous immigration waves to the US, and the strife they caused in both a cultural and economic sense.

    Just because things worked out eventually doesn’t mean there weren’t extreme issues getting there.

    Are you even American? This is something the vast majority of Americans know from both an educational and family history perspective.

      i’m not just american, i’m the child of an immigrant to america. i’m aware of the strife because my ancestors encountered it, but again, the strife historically hasn’t been because of rational self-interest in labor forces but because of racist and moneyed forces coaxing lateral violence between communities
