Isn't that like a losing team saying, "we'd have won the championship if only our star player hadn't gotten hurt"? Or, "I've got mine, so pull up the ladder." Immigration is a fact, and beneficial in so many ways — including, IMHO, a more-liberal electorate. If MAGA types want to shut the gate to try to preserve their political power, they need to offer better reasons than they have so far.

It’s an end-run around democracy that ultimately frays our system of self governance. Methinks you have an overly-idealized notion of how democracy works (or at least its U.S. variant).
