Clamping down on immigration will go down as one of the greatest policy blunders in US history. The American people are about to find out the hard way that national economies are essentially pyramid schemes.

Wishcasting. The US could let in tens of millions of immigrants in a single year.

It is better to stop pyramid scheme earlier than later.

Yeah, I am generally viscerally horrified by the procedures of ICE/CBP but I am still somewhat disgusted by liberals counterargument that we need immigrants to do jobs that are beneath us. Nothing is beneath us, except what's beneath everyone.

Yes and, very little of the billions in AI spend seems to be aimed at boring, dangerous, or low-paying jobs.

Because people don't want to have kids in a sad, unsafe, uncertain, unaffordable country without a safety net like universal healthcare that hollowed out the middle class and brought massive inequality by disastrous tax cuts and neoliberal policies.

lol quoting Kirkegaard here should tell you all you need to know about your slant on this topic

It's convenient dismissing data based on disliking the person that cited the data, isn't it? Anyway, you can just read the study itself if you don't like Kirkegaard, which says the same.
