Illegal immigration should not be allowed.  Legal immigration should be allowed, but not encouraged due to assimilation. In any case immigration should be gradual.  Historically, immigration was reserved for those with the capacity of self-governance.  Do immigrants have a skill and funds to stand on their own feet in order to assimilate?  Consider what would happen if 10 million self-sufficient Idahoans were transplanted to the middle of France during the rule of the King during the early 1700s?  Would those 10 million be a disruption?  Likewise, move 10 million subjects from France raised as subjects under a monarch and transplant them to Idaho.  Would that be a disruption?  The best immigrants are those who have lived under principles of freedom: no man or woman is born to rule over another without their consent, familiar with jury trials, self-sufficient, similar in tradition and culture with law of the harvest, and having an inner moral code that limits poor behavior.  The end goal of immigration is to maintain and encourage culture of self-sufficiency, resourcefulness, ingenuity, respect of life, liberty, and property, and encourage communities of trust, trade, and fair jury verdicts.
