If this author thinks that the US has an immigration mess on their hands just watch Canada.  Our bumbling Liberal govt has learned absolutely nothing from either the US or EU immigration fiascos.  Now, thanks to Trudeau, the word is out around the world that Canada is open to illegal immigration so no need to follow the rules. And we pay the most outrageously generous benefits in the world so now even those who have emigrated to other Western democracies, especially the US are coming here just because of that and if you happen to be in danger of being deported for a criminal record in the US just head for Canada, we'll take you in and treat you like a victim.  What a monumental fool our PM is!
