You wrote that immigrants eating pets is probably "very low" which indicates that there is the real possibility that they do and will continue doing so. I don't find it unusual or unreasonable that an eye witness saw some carrying the dead carcass of a duck which they will have for dinner. Also, they don't contribute to SS which is something they can't access. They can't access it because they are not citizens. That being said, your commentary is a sad one as illegal immigration is destroying our country with people not VETTED. I remember when all immigrants had to go through Ellis Island in order to enter this country. You don't. And it was the right way. And if anyone was sick, they were treated in the hospital until they were well. Those immigrants contributed to this country in memorable ways. But what we have now is a political ploy to disenfranchise America in ways that is destroying it bit by bit. We are the only country with an open border. No other country has them. Their government is not corrupt as our present one and they understand how immigrants should contribute to the country they want to occupy.
Don't be so sure to discount what you hear or read as most of it is true and only those who welcome illegal immigration don't have to deal with the reality of how it's negatively impacting our country. It's time to put the political part of your writing aside and allow reason to enter in.
3) Ellis Island was closed in 1954, and points of entry were all over the country.
4) Migration history is not what you imagine it to be, in the sense that it was never as orderly as you suppose.
5) The same complaints about migrants today are the same ones being made about migrants since the beginning. The first national laws in the 1920s were predicated on the notion that migrants were diseased, lazy, and a national burden. These histories are widely available.
6) We do not have an open border, nor have we since the early 1900s when New Mexico and Arizona shifted from being territories to states. Again, there are plenty of migration histories detailing these facts.

Thanks for reading, Joan.
A few things:
1) "Very low" is tongue in cheek. I'll put the actual probability at slightly north of zero.
2) They *do* contribute to SS through their employer, even if payment is made to them under the table. https://www.marketplace.org/2019/01/28/undocumented-immigrants-quietly-pay-billions-social-security-and-receive-no/
