I support this. The United States is too crowded. I don't want to compete with all these new people for housing. American citizens really need to begin advocating for themselves. For their material interests.

I don't think we're too crowded, but it definitely doesn't make sense in the era of AI and tech layoffs to continue the H1B/green card status quo.

Apparently you haven't travelled much in the US. Outside the major cities it can be pretty desolate.

  I don't want every square inch of my country to be city; and if you look on google maps, most of the land in the US is already either used for farming, cities, or not suitable for either.

Guess what? America's homebuilding is powered by immigrant workers. https://www.businessinsider.com/immigration-crackdown-housing-construction-worker-shortages-cities-most-affected-2026-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/immigration-crackdown-housin...

  Ah, the argument, "who will clean our toilets and make our tacos?"

That's a reasonable opinion for one to have, but it can coexist with humane timeframes for changing laws over time. Not grandfathering people already here for a change in policy of this magnitude -- this is inhumane.

As a European, I also support this. Natives should not have to compete with all these new people for housing. Real Americans really need to begin advocating for themselves. For their material interests. Come back where you belong.

Also consider that these "new people" are assets to our economy. They're tax payers, many are highly educated, and their presence over the last hundred years is the exact reason you have the privilege of being in a wealthy country. Seriously, how do people think the US became what it is? Will sending these people away improve our economy? Because I doubt it. I mean, we've been doing mass deportations right? Well... has the economy improved for you? Has your life gotten better after we dumped a few tens of billions into ICE? Because I'm still waiting. When will that chicken come home to roost, do you think? I'd like to know so I can make a note of it and inevitably tell you "I told you so" when that day rolls around. Maybe it'll be around the same time we get those tax refund checks from all the money DOGE saved.

  "They're tax payers, many are highly educated," yes they have more purchasing power the day they arrive than I do after 4 generations. That's not right and toxic for social cohesion. Your immigrant class should not be wealthier or have superior earning power to the native population. That's like a sociological time bomb.
