For a country that is made mostly of immigrants, not the immigration is the problem. 0.3% can't bleed it dry. Most make minimum wage and can barely afford a living.
The focus on immigration and terrorism is much higher than the focus on organized crime. In the USA you have a lot of problems due to substance abuse and other serious stuff.
Also the lack of education is keeping a country poor. That is why the richest countries have a higher an average higher educated people and I mean both formal and nonformal education. The thing is to be specialized in a field that the society needs, where a double major in bagpipe singing and advance Sanskrit will not bring you far enough.
The USA is still a country of all possibilities, but the view angle needs to be adjusted. Crypto can bring a lot to it, that is for sure. Also in terms of education, crypto educates the financial noob in terms of moves and that in a very fast way.

Trust me when I tell you that my city is being bled dry by people who come here with nothing, work under the table for cash without contributing to the tax base and send their money out of the country. We have one of three national immigrant detention centers not far outside of town. The migrants want it closed and so do the local citizens. I would bet, that if you spoke to Americans living near the other two federal detention centers, they would feel the same.
The problem concerning the violence, isn't the women and children, it's the husbands and boyfriends that arrive after them. The MS13 gang was unknown here until the arrival of that center. This brought us our first beheading in the city. The first ever police officer killed in the line of duty in over 250 years. Human smuggling and women being held for forced prostitution, was unknown here until now. Even the most pro-migrant activists have had enough.
The last straw for most people was the elderly woman who was seen being robbed in broad daylight. A woman watched it through her window, before she realized what was going on. She was in her 80's and a 20 year old guy demanded money from her. She reached into her purse and handed him the money. He started walking away, then turned back and for no reason, he punched the senior citizen in the face knocking her down. She hit her head on the icy sidewalk and died two days before Christmas.
Why?
The elderly cigar store owner who was gunned down even after he handed his money over. My friend Jose, who gave credit to poor people in his grocery store whenever they needed it, shot to death in front of his wife when he refused to hand his hard-earned money over. I could go on and on...
People are tired of the violence in this once peaceful city. We want immigrants to succeed, but not at the cost of the good people that live here. The detention center has brought misery not only to us, but to the migrants as well. If any locality wants our federal immigrant detention center to be relocated near them, they are most welcome to have it.
