I think the only thing that can save us know is the supreme court needs to rule that Trump cannot be on the ballet due to leading an insurrection against the United States. The Texas issue is another example has Trump is telling Republicans to turn down any offer to fix the border so he can create a car and come out as Emperor. In fact if you look at the issues, climate, Israel-Gaza and Ukraine-Russia, the rise of dictators in Argentina, the explosion of fake news and the migrant crisis are all due to Trump if you do your research.
USA agriculture has increasingly moved toward mechanization, leading to a shrinking labor force. AI is further shrinking the need for labor in many USA markets, and that trend will continue. In comes ~10 million people to enter the 2024 workforce to do what exactly?
Social security trust funds were already on track to be depleted in 2033 give or take a few years, without additional loads to the system. So what is the end game here? Anticipated election votes for one party is the driving force with border policy.
I have been trying to figure out the goal of letting mass illegal immigration, I have 5 possibilities.
(1) We need lots more low level workers to keep labor cheap and to pay for social security?
The problem with that is exactly what you state that these kinds of jobs that will be going away.
(2) Is it a plan to make millions vote blue?
The thing is how are they going vote if they are illegal, or not US citizens, maybe they are thinking after we have 20 million we cannot do anything and we will just have to make them citizens? Or is it the census to increase more compress members in blue areas? Is that they are hoping that AI will insure they never work so they will be a big block of poor people who will need big government to take care of them and that will be the dems? Such a plan is very risky.
(3) It is some conspiracy to destroy the US system and bring in Marxism or something?
I am not sure how that works and also are there that many Marxist in high level places to make this work?
(4) My favorite, it is just a self-organized phenomena of short sightedness driven by of (1) and (2). (1) is actually led more by wealthy capitalists class that think sure AI will replace everyone but not for another 5-10 years so I need my cheap labor now, also people look at Europe and think who is going to pay for the old people, I know more young people! (2) Is lead by the left wing who thinks the migrants will all vote blue 5-10 years down the line. So this is kind of wink wink nod nod just let them in. s
(5) There is no real political incentive to push for closing the border because suppose you are on the left or right and you vote to deport people, you put barbed wire, than you are going videos of people dying and crying being sent home, and emotions will sway a large enough percentage of the voting block so just let it go and go and hope somebody else's does something about it.
I think you are missing some of the true motivation. A healthy population increase helps raise the GDP every year, making the debt to GDP ratio of the Federal government drop. This is one factor allowing the government to consistently spend in excess of tax revenue, and of course, low taxes will lead to further GDP growth.
Also corporate profits from the domestic economy, will naturally increase with population, as domestic consumption and investment goes up, generating wealth from the stock market (which again can be taxed through capital gains or other taxes) and greater wealth for the US population, through 401(K)'s or other retirement accounts.
Likewise, property values will go up, helping property owners, landlords, banks, and state and local finances, improving government services and education, helping state and local governments meet unfunded pension liabilities and avoid default.
It is certainly true that this entire situation, might lower wages for domestic workers, further increasing corporate profits, but that is unlikely to be a motivation, I would think, it is more of a side effect.

Texas needs to be put in its place. It has been a problem for far too long now.
