You haven't outlined anything. You've ranted about immigrants but haven't actually posted any facts.

Undocumented-Americans coming over the border in vast numbers mean that wages are kept low which squeezes inflation out of the economy, meaning we can keep interest rates much lower on an ongoing basis than we'd be able to otherwise. They also mean no loss of production due to labour shortages. These things combined help grow the economy exponentially faster than would otherwise be possible.
