Does America NEED immigrants? Why or why not? Would we survive

>>136155267
no, we have enough unemployed people that could be employed to do every job available, yes we would survive because immigration is genuinely not that important to the survival of a nation except in fringe cases.

Did not need it for the first 150 years. Definitely do not need anymore right now.

The only people who need immigration are immigrants.

boomer fuckers are all retiring and in need of expensive medical care. They subsidize it by taxing us+importing 3rd world shitskins for cheap labor. No we don't need them but boomers will not let anything in the current system majorly change

Please explain to me what we're attempting to "survive" at with/without immigrants? Please do tell...

Services oriented economy combined with subsistence farming = total independence. Once the economy switches modes to a resource (or otherwise "yet to be endeavored" system) based one, tell me, then; what keeps your precious bank loans and interest rates afloat?

We don't need immigration. We need common sense self-reliance and a more innovative approach to trade.

No, we do not need immigration. Just fix the tax codes and get rid of the minimum wage laws. Doing so would stop companies from abusing visa programs since now they can hire cheap American labor.

>>136155267
Yes, we would, and so would Europe. So why has it not been done?

Its an insult to everyones intelligence to suggest immigrants are needed.
