One more additional thing that is more obscure but might be the most important of all.
It will result in more social and political cohesion.
Living in California there are locations where Spanish is the primary language and Americans feel like a stranger in their own land. That would diminish. People would feel a greater sense of "family" and would care more for their communities.
Democrats would no longer have the dream of the Great Replacement and would have to shift their political agenda to one where they are serving the American people instead of dividing the American people attempting to flood in more poor and uneducated immigrants to eventually grow Democrat voters rolls.
Excellent essay, John, there are many statistics out there but it is really nice to see them assembled here in one place, thank you. Excuse me for mentioning YouTube, but what is strange is how many English commentators worry about the "harshness" of the "Trump crackdowns." These are guys like Konstantine, and Piers, who claim that ICE raids are raising the threat that MAGA will be broken up due to this "overreaction" to illegal immigration. Obviously you are here, and they are not, but their inability to make the connection that British culture being currently in steep decline- directly related to their immigration problem- is because they don't do anything to deport illegals. Send them All back. Full stop. That's what I voted for. Get to the back of the line and apply for legal entry, where presumably it will take more skills than just cleaning toilets, plucking chicken and picking vegetables. We can get migrant workers on VISA to do that; when I worked at a canning factory most of my coworkers were Mexicans. I would ask them why they chose to do this, and they would say; "it's simple. We come to United States, work six months, staying in free housing, then we go back to Mexico for the winter and live like kings until next Spring. Except for some dishonest business owners, only the mushy brained emoters who spend all their time worrying about other nation's kids would have a problem with mass deportation.
As a teacher in the Central Valley of CA I can verify that our schools are being overrun by children of illegals. They show up to school and are allowed to enroll without the birth certificate and immunizatnrecords required of residents. They are placed in English Language Development classes to help them learn English. The teachers of the general education classes often feel sorry for them and so allow them to pass just for trying. They are not required to learn the state standards required of student legally this country.
Then they get free healthcare, including all family members. The students get free meals, three times a day. Schools have to hire interpreters so we can communicate with the parents. In classes, the students are provided interpreters to assist them with understanding what is being taught. I have had interpreters ask for answer sheets so they can understand what they are supposed to communicate to the students. I have found many interpreters take a picture of the key with their cell phone and then text a copy to all of the students they are working with. When these students fail the test, they come to me telling me how hard the student worked so I should allow them to pass. In high school, I have a significant number of these students who started in Kindergarten and have yet to learn enough English so they can function in the classroom. If they continue failing the English language test at the end of the year, they continue getting all the extra services. The State does not provide the money to cover these services. The school district gets a set amount for each student. So we have to greatly reduce the amount spent on the "regular" students to provide the extra services needed by the illegal immigrants. We are shortchanging a large number of students to provide all the extra services we are required to the illegal immigrants. My district has not passed along the annual COLA the state gives each district to the teaching staff for the last 10 years.. They claim they do not have enough money so use it for all of their pet projects.
This is resulting in an 20% or higher turnover rate. Teachers are leaving to work in the private sector because they can earn much more with fewer headaches. They are replaced by interns that are paid an intern wage about 70% of a credentialed teacher. Many of these interns take this on because they view teaching as an easy job. They do the bare minimum.
I am an old school teacher. I teach the way I was taught when I was in school. I have high expectations that have to be met in order to pass. I am at school an hour before and stay at least an hour after so I can help students. The newer teachers arrive to school a few minutes late everyday and beat the students to the parking lot at the end of the day. This district does not mind, they are saving money that can be poured into all the services that are required by the state for our illegal immigrant students.
Finally, we give them all sorts of financial aid money to attend the college of their choice. They are not ready for college work and do poorly.
When I went through CA public schools, they were at the top of the nation. Now, we are in the bottom. I spend more time doing paperwork than teaching. At times I have to give busy seat work so I can fill out all the paperwork required of me.
I am retiring at the end of this school year because I can no longer afford to live in CA. Taxes rising fast and there are few consequences for criminals. California is unaffordable and unsafe.
This is awesome. Saved in my archives.

They all need to go. All!
