The report is a uniquely comprehensive and jargon‐free (to the extent possible) explanation of U.S. legal immigration. Contrary to public perception, immigrants cannot simply wait and get a green card (permanent residence) after a few years. Legal immigration is less like waiting in line and more like winning the lottery: it happens, but it is so rare that it is irrational to expect it in any individual case.
Good. We don’t need to be the world’s dumping grounds
Can we stop using the rest of the globe as our dumping ground then? We destroy entire countries so you can have your Walmart and then get mad when those refugees come here.
I read a book that you might find interesting, Open Borders by Bryan Caplan and Zach Weinersmith. Statistically immigrants add value to our economy, not take from it. Many parts of the world will also need more of them as the current population ages and there aren’t as many citizens being born.
10 bucks for reading something that’s probably just obvious propaganda? That’s not a good deal.
Add value for whom? The companies whose wages can be lower due to a larger pool of workers or the people themselves?
I’d recommend reading the book, I found it pretty interesting.
Why would you recommend a book you didn’t read yourself.

The asshole I’m replying to: “nah fuck that I hate foreigners” (probably white of European descent living in America, where white people didn’t exist until the very late 1400’s.)
Seriously, go fuck yourself.
Edit: also love how because of idiots like you rather than having seasonal migrant workers we’re lowering the age requirements for workers and reducing the protections for child labor, because dumb shits like you can’t handle some extra brown people running around here.
This is the result of fear mongering and “white replacement” conspiracy theories…
