Incoming strawman: So we should, like the UK, symbolically declare our freedom from immigrants at the price of seeing our currency and stock market decline by 9%?
Also, illegal immigration in the US has been going down, not up, despite what Trump might have lead some people to believe. Illegal immigration is not really one of the major problems that the US is facing.
But if Trump supporters want to argue our cultrual identity is being lost as Americans, I can't really have a quantitative argument about that as much. In that case, the facts aren't as blatantly clear as the illegal immigration numbers and estimates, so I'll let them have that argument for now, given they concede the argument about the actual numbers.
