It amazes me how despite so much anti-immigrant sentiment, the US still admits more than 1 million immigrants each year [1]. Is there are reason only the most unpopular and least effective steps are taken to reduce immigration? Perhaps to pander to Trump voters, without jeopardizing the source of new labor and consumers demanded by businesses?
