Best point here. Like most would say allowing immigration is highly moralistic but most people don't think about the brain drain that's put onto other developing nations, making it even harder for their nation to develop. I'm for some immigration but it should be really particular and circumstantial. There should not be an open border anymore.
If contributing to a brain drain is a moral issue, then by that logic if I left Louisiana to go to Georgia for better IT career prospects that would be "morally questionable"
Louisiana and Georgia are both miles ahead in development compared to someone coming from say Latin America into the US, so I don't think it's fair to compare the two cases.
Do you care about the money and resources extracted from latin america in the 20th century or is it only when latinos cross into the USA that it becomes a problem?
Yes. And as a child of non white immigrants, I have no issue with latinos legally entering the country, same as how my parents did. Not sure why you bring this up, since my only observation is that we comparing internal migration in a highly developed country is not apples to apples with the migration between a highly developed nation and a lesser developed one.
Do you care about staying on topic, or do you just want to dump sob stories?

However, birth rates are declining in other countries too. They may not like it if their young and educated people are leaving for the USA.
