1. It makes a mockery of those who apply for citizenship and go thru the lengthy processes of legal immigration and naturalization, with which even a President's wife had to comply.
2. 15 million in Biden's 4 years is a greater number than the individual population of 34 states. It's like adding 2 more states the size of Tennessee or 18 more San Franciscos in 4 years. We do not have the resources and infrastructure to take care of these illegals and properly address the needs of our citizens.
3. It adversely affects education, federal-state-local-personal budgets, taxation of citizens, medical facilities and resources, housing, food, law and order, courts, prisons, disease rates, safety and many other aspects of American life and resources.
4. It accelerates gentrification of neighborhoods, as the wealthy continue to bid up the prices of up-scale housing, forcing the middle-class to gentrify poorer neighborhoods to address the diminishing affordability of adequate housing, thus forcing lower-income residents into even poorer circumstances. Nashville-Davidson County property values have increased 38% to 54% in the past 4 years. This is happening to a lesser or greater extent across the nation. That is unsustainable.
5. It leads to corruption in elections. It increases crime, murder, rape, theft, fraud, disease, human and drug trafficking, and other undesirable outcomes.
6. All the above serves to stunt individual initiative, lower expectations, impact productivity, erode culture, and reduce overall national pride and morale.
