> That's a really different thing than one million people illegally entering the country and expecting that to just work out.
Sure, but this isn't my point. Nobody has given me any reason to believe it won't work out, included our undocumented immigrants. I live in Texas, I should be seeing the worst of it. But uh... no... everything is pretty chill here. Not really seeing any of these doomerist complaints about those darn illegals.
> Can you imagine the response Japan would have if a million Americans crossed into Japan illegally and expected to live and work there?
I sure can, it would probably be piss-poor. Because Japan has a strong ethnic identity and community-oriented culture. We don't.
We're not Japan, nor do we really want to be Japan.

Nation wide policies and society don't work on how your own chill vibe feels where you live, but on research, statistics and most importantly on the opinions of the democratic majority.
