I think the primary #1 issue we should focus on over the next 4 or so years is IMMIGRATION.

Specifically, this:

* ENDING immigration once and for all. NO MORE foreigners coming into our country.
* REVERSING immigration, especially illegal immigration. Send them home! Send home all the H1B and green cards as well!
* NO BENEFITS FOR IMMIGRANTS. If we have benefits at all, only native-born citizens get them. Everyone else needs to go home to their people.
* DE-NATURALIZATION for recently naturalized "citizens". Raise the bar very, very high for who gets citizenship, and disqualify those who were given it but do not deserve it.

In the US, our goal should be constitutional amendments that specifically implement these policies. We cannot leave it to mere law, but we must start there. Importantly, we need people at all levels of government who understand this issue and side with us on it.

The MORAL CASE for ending immigration is simply this:

* If you want to help poor people, GO TO THEIR OWN HOME COUNTRIES AND HELP THEM THERE. There are WAY too many of them and too few of us, AND WE CANNOT HELP THEM HERE! Our society is too complex and too foreign to them. Our people are too vulnerable!
* The people who DO come here all too often are coming to sponge off of our hard work and success, or worse. PREY upon our people. We MUST eliminate all the sponges and predators from the immigrant population.
* We cannot build fences around all of our homes and businesses to protect them from immigrants who don't respect our laws and culture. We CAN build a fence to keep people out of our country, and secure our shores as well.
* We are being made foreigners in our own land. The land that our ancestors fought and bled and died for. The land that we spent our lifetime, even MANY lifetimes, building up and civilizing. We are waking up to realize that we aren't wanted here anymore, we aren't welcome, and we aren't comfortable. Our children are going to have to leave our own homes because it is no longer safe for them to be here. We brought the 3rd world here, and now we have no place to return to!

Some points that can appeal to the Left:

• accepting immigrants robs the source country of their people. If they're refugees fleeing a brutal government, there are less soldiers to fight back. If they're migrant workers, there's less labour to uplift their economy. If they're fleeing overpopulation, they're removing pressure on their government to provide access to birth control. Immigration hurts the people it leaves behind.

• new immigrants are open to exploitation by employers which can lead to both wage stagnation and the erosion of worker benefits. In Canada, a report was just released claiming a significant portion of migrants brought in under our Temporary Foreign Workers Act are essentially slaves, with debt and the threat of deportation used to control them. Immigration carries a small, but guaranteed, portion of slavery.

• immigration destroys indigenous culture, for both countries. Migrants always try to bring their culture with them but, when they leave their ancestral homeland, they also leave behind their important sites of cultural heritage. They can build temples in the new country, but they lose the connection to history a thousand year old mosque provides. At the same time, building new temples in a new country disrupts that countries' cultural practices by, essentially, turning it into a mini-mall of tiny temples instead of one grand historical building. The net effect is everything becoming a monotone, and frankly corporatised, cultural wasteland. Immigration McDonaldizes cultures.

Good arguments. Yes, arguing from a perspective they can understand is very good.

I remember showing a leftist an article where the border patrol found several kids that were abandoned in the Arizona desert in June, the hottest month there. Thankfully the border patrol could save their lives, but how many kids end up as bones buried in sand that we never know about?
