LifeZette asked leading experts and activists on immigration policy\u00a0to address one question: Is America\u2019s immigration system\u00a0in decline?<\/p>\n

The experts agreed\u00a0the nation faces\u00a0an escalating immigration and refugee crisis. They\u00a0point to a lack of American political will to take on both the structural immigration challenges for the nation\u00a0and to fight the radical policies pushed by the current administration as the chief culprits of the expanding crisis.<\/p>\n

The administration\u2019s assault on the rule of law and unprecedented unilateral action on refugees\u00a0have together brought a surge of foreigners \u2014\u00a0legal and illegal \u2014\u00a0into the nation without an opportunity for assimilation.<\/p>\n

The economic impact has also been significant. The massive increase in predominantly low-skilled laborers has contributed to stagnant wage growth for American workers and nullified much of the job gains made in the tepid economic recovery.<\/p>\n
