There is absolutely no conceivable way to conclude that we don't have the resources to accommodate them. The United States is by far the richest country in the history of the human race. We have wealth beyond the wildest dreams of avarice of our ancestors. The question is how we put that wealth to use.

But that's in part because we subsidize our standards of living through the importation of goods. We have a trade deficit that runs in the tens of billions of dollars; much of our resources are in fact taken from other countries. And the price of that is both the degradation of environment and the exploitation of people who are outside the US. Part of what drives people to want to migrate here is that we've destroyed their homes in order to make ours prosperous.

if you're the same OP as above, i understand what you're saying. if we're prosperous, it's because of exploitation of others and the continued reliance of wealth as an argument for open borders doesn't seem to be considering how we would have to continue to get that wealth.

the moral argument, which isn't wrong, doesn't seem to consider exactly on how many fronts the US must make amends, and what we as a people would have to do to make them regarding our reliance on foreign and cheap labor (yes, even those in poverty here rely on cheap foreign labor), not just the government.

texas is still full of shit regardless.
