Imagine how much suffering would have been avoided, how much bigger, better, stronger, and more interesting the United States would be today, how much more freedom and prosperity there would be on this continent if the US had maintained free immigration at least in North America.
The millions of arrests, incarcerations, deportations. Tens of thousands of deaths in the deserts and rivers, and many more at the hands of cartels and criminals. Families torn apart. Homelessness. So much poverty and suffering and lost prosperity for us and them.
The only purpose of it all was just to keep Americans and other North Americans separated. How many great Americans never came to exist? How many great businesses, movies, music, foods were lost? We know so many were created. So much joy to remind us how much more could have been
So many other great social problems in this country could have been addressed. Reformers could have focused their efforts on so many other ways to make the world a better place. The tens of billions wasted could have done so much good elsewhere.
