is the LAST THING we should be doing...rather, we should tell Congress to pass the bipartisan Senate Immigration Bill that was negotiated at the end of 2023...here's an excerpt from the attached Forbes article...

Immigrant workers will be the only source of U.S. labor force growth in the economy after 2052, according to new research by the National Foundation For American Policy. Long before then, this report states the number of Americans of prime working age will stagnate. The findings represent the latest evidence that U.S. economic growth and living standards will languish without immigrant workers entering the U.S. labor force. Economists like Pia Orrenius and Chloe Smith of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas noted in a public statement that a country achieves economic growth with “growth in the labor force and its productivity.” As such, businesses cannot expand without finding people to hire, and American consumers suffer when companies cannot provide goods and services due to a lack of workers.
Immigrant Workers Play A Key Role In U.S. Labor Force
Over the last five years, only 479,000 U.S.-born workers were added to the U.S. labor force, compared to 3.6 million foreign-born workers, according to new research from the NFAP. That means immigrant workers are responsible for 88% of the labor force growth in America since 2019.(The research involved analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey and Census.)

The data should be overwhelming enough for any H.S. graduate to comprehend...btw, "Forbes" is no Liberal Think Tank...any objective reviewer should pay heed to what they're saying.
