I know a foolproof way to lower the trade deficit and reduce illegal immigration

It also lowers rents, reduces income inequality, lowers our carbon output, and reduces household debt. We know it works because we've already tried it before.

Unfortunately, it's "have a recession". In 2008-2010, our trade deficit fell, illegal immigration fell, rents fell, income inequality fell, our carbon output was reduced, and household debt fell.

I keep thinking that the problems a lot of people are up in arms about are the "problems" of having a very good economy.
