I've spent way too much time lately trying to figure out why we want to import a couple million Spanish-speaking, Central American peasants. Was there a shortage of unskilled, semi-literate workers in the country? Forget about the kids in cages kids in sardine tins, what's the long-term end goal here, aside from bringing in Democrat voters?
My conclusion: There isn't one.
Since my parents' estate is almost settled and much of the money has been paid out, we're significantly less cost-conscious. The other day, I ordered Gulf oysters from Louisiana Crawfish Company. I wouldn't have done that a year ago, but now it's natural.

If that's the way I live now, where $40 isn't a big deal any more, imagine what it's like to be Jeff Bezos. $40,000 isn't a big deal to him. I know the SAT is racist, but here's a SATish simile for you: Oysters are to KT as cars are to Bezos.
Now imagine that you can literally print money. Imagine that you believe in Modern Monetary Theory where printing money is no big deal.
Oysters are to KT as cars are to Bezos as 10,000,000 Honduran peasants are to the Elites. Can we afford them? Of course we can! What's the problem? We'll just print a few trillion more.
Only a white supremacist would disagree.

Besides humanitarian reasons?
Well, they won't be voting, but they will be replacing the Americans who are aging out and they will be paying taxes. Our pool of citizens is aging, and the immigrants will be pumping money into the system, and then get almost nothing when they age out.
