The damage this influx has done to the West is huge. The loss of industries and the jobs, wages, taxes, economy is hurting the West. To allow it to continue because it's easy is tantamount to criminal. Because as I've pointed out where will it stop?

As for the great retail boost it was meant to trigger, online is killing that boom off very fast. Shops, stores are closing and companies like Amazon get bigger and bigger.
