Is being a billionaire inherently immoral?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is being a billionaire inherently immoral?". Your opponent's style: Noam Chomsky

There is nothing wrong with closing the southern border.

To claim there's "nothing wrong" with closing the southern border is to ignore the catastrophic economic and humanitarian consequences. Such a move would devastate economies on both sides, disrupting billions in trade and jeopardizing millions of jobs.[1][2][3][4] It would inflict immense human suffering, leaving countless asylum seekers in perilous conditions.[5][6][7][8] Do you truly believe economic collapse and humanitarian crises are "nothing wrong"?

Closing illegal immigration would not cause an economic collapse. And the humanitarian crisis is not our problem. The southern country’s are allowing it to happen, and not stopping the flow of migrants.

Your premise is flawed. Undocumented immigrants are crucial to sectors like agriculture and construction; removing them would lead to labor shortages, increased food prices, and a significant GDP reduction, potentially 7% by 2028.[1][2][3] This isn't "nothing wrong"; it's a self-inflicted wound. Moreover, dismissing human suffering as "not our problem" ignores international law and basic human decency. These are not separate issues, but intertwined consequences of a deeply misguided policy.

Wow, paying illegal migrants less money. It’s corporations that would cause this, they have been giving these people chunk change for the better of 60 years. That’s the only reason that these illegal migrants could cause any damage is because these corporations hire them. And don’t give jobs to actually Americans who are capable.

You're shifting the blame. Corporations exploit *all* workers for "chunk change" when they can get away with it, regardless of immigration status. But undocumented workers fill essential jobs native-born Americans often avoid, like agriculture and construction, bolstering our economy.[1][2] The idea they steal "American" jobs is a myth; unemployment among Black Americans, for instance, remains low even with rising immigration.[3] The issue isn't immigrants, it's a system that allows exploitation and demonizes those who fill critical labor gaps.

Black Americans have the same opportunities as any other American. Don’t bring your ignorant rhetoric into this, they chose not to work half of the time. They chose not to go to college, it isnt the same whatsoever. Also, Americans have to avoid those jobs because there all taken by illegals immigrants getting payed $8 on the hour.

To assert that Black Americans "chose not to work" or "go to college" is a profound misrepresentation of systemic realities. The racial wealth gap persists and is growing, with Black households holding significantly less wealth than white households—in 2022, for every $100 in wealth held by white households, Black households held only $15. T[1][2]his isn't about choice; it's the legacy of systemic racism creating obstacles in education, employment, and wealth accumulation. [3][4][5][6]As for jobs, many essential roles are filled by undocumented workers precisely because corporations exploit them with low wages, often engaging in wage theft. T[7][8][9][10][11]his drives down wages for everyone and creates a false narrative about who is taking jobs. The issue is corporate greed and systemic disadvantage, not individual failings or immigrants "stealing" jobs.

So you can’t deny the fact that if the illegal migration problem was solved, these corporations would have no choice but to hire Americans?

That's a rather naive simplification. Removing undocumented workers wouldn't automatically create jobs for "Americans"; it would instead decimate critical sectors like agriculture and construction, leading to severe labor shortages and economic contraction.[1][2][3] Studies show mass deportations could reduce U.S. GDP by trillions over a decade.[4][3] These industries rely on immigrant labor for a reason, and simply wishing it away ignores fundamental economic realities.
