Nothing is ever done in this corporate/fascist country unless money is to be made. And lots of money is made off immigrants. For example, all those services provided keep many Americans employed, people who pay taxes and pay into Social Security. As for the countries with emigres, it is the US that creates these horrendous conditions that force people to leave. Perhaps you need to look for deeply into American support for coups that promote American financial interests. Since you seem to have looked into some of the international type money organizations like IMF, you must know that no money is ever provided unless it gives control of developing country's resources to American oligarchy; ie, oil or mineral rights. In other words the US uses poorer nations as a means to economically colonialize them and they use what seems appropriately called Economic Terrorism! And when these countries try to claim their independence the US supports brutal, dictatorial right wing militias that steal from the population and use murderous tactics to disempower them. Then the US comes along with its chosen leaders who will kowtow to American 'interests.' Just look at Ukraine or Libya or Chile for a few examples.

So when trying to present analysis that wants to remove what you considers unwarranted or unfair support of immigrants start to think about how the US created the problem in these people's home countries.

Add to these notes, factor in that these immgrants come here with very high work ethics and do the work that most Americans refuse to do. Why do you think Walmart hires to many of these people. They can be intimidated so don't complain about not getting paid correctly or tolerate being told how to vote, if they have that right. They also are so frightened of losing their tenancy here that they pay taxes at a better rate than many Americans do. So, another misguided notion that is presented here.

bankrupting free or freer countries helps to reduce freedom which is so offensive to those who would rule the world

A large chunk of climate taxes get given to developing nations. In NZ media at the end of last year there was an article which stated NZ had just paid so many million to developing nations as part of its climate change commitments
