As someone mentioned in another comment, the immigrants coming are usually those who were relatively well off in their home countries. Most people cannot afford to immigrate to the US. Not only do open borders hurt the American workers they're displacing, it hurts those in the countries they come from when everyone who can afford to leave - typically the well educated professionals - does so.

>US puts sanctions on your country in an attempt to instill a neoliberal glowie plant who will sell your country's oil to American companies
>Country turns to shit
>Spend thousands of dollars getting to Mexico with your family, and then pay another 10k to a smuggler to bring you across the border
>Trek through the desert
>Wife sprains her ankle. Leave her behind to die of thirst because you haven't eaten in days, are not strong enough to carry her
>Arrive in the US
>Your medical training is not recognized in the US. Take a job picking berries for $3 an hour, that American workers used to make $20 an hour doing
>Try to unionize with fellow farm workers, your employer calls ICE and has you deported
Fake story, but something along these lines happens every day. Yet liberals act like illegal immigration is something that should be celebrated.

The chavista regime was mostly funded by selling oil to American companies.

Most people in those countries dont go to college
There is immense benefit from going from a poorstrag in a 3rd world country to a poorstrag in a 1st world country. You are orders of magnitude better off. Venezuelans with actual college education probably get free glowie passes to come here anyway.

Most people in those countries cannot afford to come here. Those who can afford to come tend to be better educated and comparatively wealthy. And the glowie passes are not nearly numerous enough to cover them.
