Even the majority of Democrats in the USA don't support increasing immigration levels, as shown in a previous blogpost in this blog. Click HERE to see the blogpost.
If the elite of the Democratic Party continue to support increasing mass immigration, past its already high level of around 1 million per year, they will be helping to possibly push another right-winger into the presidency after Trump, and in the meantime may unwittingly be helping Trump to be re-elected. Fellow Democrats, if you try to double, triple or quadruple legal mass immigration limits in the next comprehensive immigration bill, you will be in trouble in future elections as the voters learn what you've done.
In fact, if the American people knew that at our 2017 growth rate we're heading for over 1/2 billion people by 2100, a majority of Americans would demand a decrease in immigration because immigration is now the main driver of population growth in the United States.
We can have a comprehensive immigration bill that doesn't increase mass immigration levels, but does solve the DACA issue and provides a pathway to citizenship for the people that are well-settled into the USA, while also instituting a mandatory, universal national E-Verify system to eliminate the unauthorized worker problem. That's the only type of comprehensive immigration bill you can pass without massive retaliation from the American voters.
