When does small become not so small? Accept the small risk sounds a lot like the rich must pay their fair share, but "fair" is never quantified.
Is there anything that would ever reduce your desire for immigration? What are the parameters for reducing legal and illegal migration.
Your focus is solely on economics, as if a country or people have no other concerns , desires or goals. Even if admitting 25 million immigrants a year would make the economy boom, the American people still have the right to say NO.
It seems to me the American people do not have any right to coercively prevent me from freely trading with foreigners. If that's true, it follows that they don't have any right to stop free immigration unless there's a justifiable moral reason.
On the other hand, do you really think Americans own this country? That seems to be a rather flawed socialist idea. Americans own their houses and other private property, that's it. Every American should be allowed to freely trade with foreign-born people who aren't a significant threat to society.
Of course we do. The whole point of a state is to use its monopoly on violence and coercion to make laws that make people do things they don't want to do. How else would roads get built if it weren't for coercive taxes? How would they assemble armies to defend the state without coercion? You live in a fantasy radical libertarian world. If you want anarchy, there are plenty of places in the world where you can avoid the coercive state. Defend your "right" to trade with foreigners on your own.
Good analysis on historical data. Very bad analysis on current events. Recently we have added 18 million and counting flooding across the border. It is different this time. Watch this interview and I am sure you will agree. https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1753190238502170900
