It’s pretty remarkable how much immigration politics have shifted in the past several years.
Yes and no. The narrative always was its good for countries economies. However, that is a bullshit. Almost all immigration is a net negative for developed nations, with large safety nets. And it’s especially bad for the working class people living in the country.It’s pretty remarkable how much immigration politics have shifted in the past several years.

They’re both signs of a decaying society.A country either has immigration or emigration. Which one you think is worse?

It’s just math. The bottom half if society takes more than they produce.Ah.. The Yogi Berra position... 'Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded'
Not that the past is predictive of the future in all cases, but our most productive citizens are probably descended from people who came over in a free for all. I only say that to suggest that when it comes to the value of a particular immigrant, we have to consider future generations, as well.You just said immigration. I think we should have a lot of immigration.... But it should be done a much more deliberate and intentional manner. Not the free for all we have now.

I appreciate the link and was curious how they came up with their claims. Immigrants consume less because the study includes SS/Medicare and their younger on average and/or not immediately available for those programs. The study also didn’t measure other social costs, chiefly education. The state of Indiana spends around 10,000 a year on each child for example.In the US, immigrants consume less social welfare per capita than native born. Often, much less:
I agree and they should be from Northern Europe like it was before the immigration act of 1965. F LBJ.You just said immigration. I think we should have a lot of immigration.... But it should be done a much more deliberate and intentional manner. Not the free for all we have now.
I’m not sure what you’re getting at?You just said immigration.
We most likely disagree on the amounts.I think we should have a lot of immigration....
I agree, but don’t see how that would ever be accomplished. You would have to purposely target higher educated people, which wouldn’t fly in today’s political environment.But it should be done a much more deliberate and intentional manner. Not the free for all we have now.

Well, we are experiencing the results of his "great society" legislation.At least someone said the quiet part out loud.
I just share Teddy Roosevelt's idea on immigration.At least someone said the quiet part out loud.
As Uncle Milton (who was generally a vocal advocate of immigration) pointed out, the question of how beneficial immigration is to a society needs to be examined through a lens of their productivity balanced against their consumption of social welfare benefits.In the US, immigrants consume less social welfare per capita than native born. Often, much less:
There is nothing that prevents us from changing our safety net laws to block immigrants from full access for 5 years (or any other number) to eliminate that concern. We could require 5 years of work before becoming a citizen.
I do not know when your family arrived but there is a damn good chance people did not want them here. Since its founding, this country has had a real love/hate relationship with immigrants.
