Until Americans can be convinced that picking vegetables and digging ditches for starvation wages and no benefits is a viable career path, at least.

What these non-cognitives don't realize is that there are literally not enough citizens to fill all of the necessary job functions. There are, broadly speaking, three solutions.

1. Wave a magic wand and make those jobs redundant
2. Increase the birth rate to above replacement levels and wait 20 years.
3. Increase immigration.

#1 is fantasy, #2 is unworkable, and for some reason a lot of USAians can't stomach #3 and I can't qwhite figure out why.

Okay, let's increase LEGAL immigration. Let's keep track of who's coming into the country.

You realize that your country is making it extremely difficult to immigrate legally, right?

Well because people like you hate the brows and blacks. Or haven’t you noticed?

Mostly I hate white people.

^Probably because white people are who you are around. I can't see you surrounding yourself with a diverse group of people.
