I'd need to see concrete numbers showing the reason behind those 30-40% unemployed was immigration, rather than other reasons. When an immigrant moves into a country he contributes plenty to the local economy. He needs a haircut, so he goes to the local hairdresser. He needs groceries, so he goes to the local shop. He pays rent, buys a car, furniture, pays taxes, schools, etc etc. This helps a lot of people stay employed. Economic crises happen. Industries - like paper and many others - simply become obsolete and some are going to die. If you are trivially replaced, or only qualified to work on a dying industry you're in for a tough time, and no amount of immigrant bans or protectionist policies is going to help you.

When an immigrant shows up in the US, they most often immediately sign up for welfare--free food, free clothing, free, free, free. They get section 8 housing subsidies, they put their kids in public schools but pay very little in taxes. They fail to integrate. The Muslim kids get invited to birthday parties, they never show up. They won't let their kids come over to play, it is just old world nonsense going on. Their religion or whatever won't allow them to attend music classes, so they get special treatment there (wtf?) Meanwhile, in my kids' school the test scores from a formerly award-winning district have been falling for the past five years due to the effect of uncontrolled immigration mostly from south of the border. On top of that, we've got Muslim kids pushing my son around on the playground, we've got female teachers being threatened by the boys who believe they are superior to women and refusing to be taught by female teachers. Pardon me if I fail to see the upside to any of this--it is affecting me and the lives of my family NOW and if things get better 10 years from now, the damage is still happening NOW. I would go as far to say that if Americans--and by Americans I don't just mean whites--don't wake up to how they're getting screwed over in every way, it's going to be a very ugly situation later on. Stuff free markets in your ass--this is about the destruction of America from within. Limit immigration, require English language, no more pandering to the death cult of Islam, no more pandering to non-English speakers, enforce mutual respect for all races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds under the rule of law. Cut welfare to the bone and stop creating the incentives that undermine our communities.
