You might have had an argument there if it wasn't for the fact that 10's to 100's of thousands of illegal immigrants are entering the country every year
Sure! It was totally legal when the Europeans first came to the Americas and proceeded to genocide the native populations, but god forbid some Mexicans work the jobs none of the rich white kids want.
Sarcasm aside, I’m gonna mansplain this to you one time nicely. Illegal immigrants frequently use faked social security numbers and other bogus data to fit into the system. When they go out and get jobs here, they pay into the system and they will never see that money for themselves. Your parents will get the benefit of their contributions to the system while they won’t get shit later in their lives. I understand being afraid of the unknown, but that is no excuse for xenophobia based on ideas that are fallacies.
