"Your president is an old pedophile with dementia." Partly because of ballots that were harvested from...illegal immigrants.
"Your press is constantly lying to you." Okay, this is one I can't immediately connect to illegal immigration, but there might still be less direct connections. For the record, I'm willing to bet YOUR press is constantly lying to you too. Major media is just the marketing wing of power player factions at this point.
"Your vote doesn't count." See the first point.
"Your government has been lying to you since god knows how long and is playing a very dangerous game, for the 2nd time, with Russia." Goes right back to the first point again. They get away with this so much because illegal immigration has helped short circuit the electoral accountability mechanisms.
"Your money is always losing value." Unchecked illegal immigration inflates the fuck out of rent and housing. Also, see previous point about accountability mechanisms.
"You have no more privacy." Accountability mechanisms again.
"Your mental health problems are through the roof, along with your drug consumption." Fixing other stuff will help fix this. If you're gonna be a whataboutist with a problem, this is the one, not illegal immigration. Being unable to find work or afford a place to live, that'll negatively affect mental health in the population for sure. Guess what helps make that happen?
"You have the fattest population on Earth (correct me if I'm wrong)." I don't fucking care. Making the average American less fat has little effect on my life. Also, when those illegals come over here and start on that cheap American fast food diet, guess what happens to them? Never mind that "fattest population" measurements usually use BMI, a metric that classifies muscular people as overweight/obese. You can't legislate away fatness anyway without giving totalitarianism a foothold in your government.
"Neo-marxism and neo-liberalism have risen exponentially in the last few years, along with the radical extremist movements of Antifa, BLM and the LGBTQ movement, who went from having only 3 letters in their name to legislating censorship and obtaining the right to chemically castrate children." These movements are hugely bolstered by illegal immigrants' children, who are taught that they are underprivileged and oppressed, and must leverage victimhood points to get ahead in life. They are also materially supported by the democrat party, which, you guessed it, leverages illegal immigration to secure its power.
There's no reason to ignore illegal immigration and only focus on these problems, because these problems, including illegal immigration are all connected. Spending time trying to figure out which is the right problem to focus on to the exclusion of the others is an excellent way to paralyze yourself. Fixing society isn't like blowing up the death star, there isn't one little hole you shoot the torpedoes into and the whole thing blows. You have to go after EVERY problem, however and whenever you can.
Apparently Greg Abbott's administration has found the solution: offer to bus illegals you pick up straight to DC, a sanctuary city. All it took was 5,000 or so and the establishment lost their fucking minds and called in the national guard, along with actually resuming construction on Trump's border wall (irony so rich it makes me believe in God).
