Yes, once upon a time, people immigrated to this country as economic migrants and declared themselves as such.

Not sure what that has to do with modern-day economic migrants exploiting the asylum system in 2023.

Pointing to how something used to be is not a valid reason for exploiting current laws.

It is almost like immigration policy is more nuanced than a poem written on a statue gifted to us by the French, who by the way, have a stricter immigration system than we do.
