is it from destabilization or climate change?

Right now it's most just destabilization, but climate migration is projected to increase massively. The UN estimated somewhere on the order of 1.5 billion people by 2050.

We would have to deal with that if we had actually done something about our fossil fuel use.

I feel like you’re just throwing out buzz words

How you feel about those words is irrelevant. Republicans started the war on drugs, installed CIA directors, and supported the overthrow of governments in Latin America. All of which has destabilized the region, and is the biggest cause of all these people trying to migrate.

Is it possible that it has anything to do with robust welfare programs

I sincerely hope this is a joke, because our social programs are a joke.

ever increasing concessions to grant non-citizens the rights of citizens

Our country was founded on immigrants. It was our biggest strength in the 18th and 20th century. Passing it away will just further hurt our nation.

and essentially open borders?

We do not have anything close to open borders. It takes years and thousands of dollars to successfully immigrate and become a U.S. citizen.
