So a country made of and built by immigrants doesn't want immigrants anymore. I think that culture has a name: hypocrisy



This is a motte and bailey fallacy and doesnt even merit a response. Why dont you start with a good faith argument for how the US is anti immigrant, since the numbers clearly dont agree with that statement.


There have always been limits to immigration. Almost no one is saying no immigration. Needs change. What the country needs now might not be the same as 150 years ago.


> There have always been limits to immigration.

The first limit on immigration in the US was the Page act in 1875, which restricted immigration of Chinese women.

Before that there were no limits.


>> What the country needs now might not be the same as 150 years ago.

Yeah, it seems now it needs to cage children to deter their pesky parents from seeking opportunities in the land of opportunity.
