closed borders and tight immigration is a terrible policy because it makes for no better way to solidify the welfare state and all the awful that comes with it.

the claim that immigration harms the domestic economy by lowering wages is total bullshit. trade (immigrant labor is trade) increases consumer surplus by a greater degree than it reduces producer surplus. it's kinda the easiest known way to increase prosperity.

immigrants outperform domestics on social mobility.

i suggest cracking down on illegal immigration, increasing legal immigration, and profiling.
