guyy....I agree with you that immigration is a win-win.

It makes the country stronger, both economically and socially, and it provides an opportunity for a better quality of life for the immigrant.

IF, it is done legally and in a controlled manner, without it being significantly limited or restricted.

And while we are at it, most of the 12+ million illegal immigrants here should be given a path to citizenship.

Illegal immigrants suffer far more abuse and exploitation and have far less "worker power" when they are limited to the lowest paying jobs because they dont have the documentation required for economic mobility.

And, the notion that commodities move freely across borders is absurd. Try importing meat, fruits and vegetables, other food and organic products, domestic animals (pets), etc.
