We need to recognize that everyone in this thread is being self interested. No one here is showing "solidarity".
Immigrants are advocating for more American resources to go to immigrants.
I, a native born American, am advocating that American resources stay among the current population.
The only difference is I'm in my own country, the country my parents were born in. I'm not going to another country and advocating that I get their resources.
A good 20% of future American economists in my class were descendants of or are recent immigrants. Heck, an insane number of math teachers near me are immigrants. Having names such as Bohuslav, Abrahamovic, and Saiqi in the class as teachers are not uncommon in this area. Take into mind that I go to a white bread private school, those immigrants are directly fostering “your” peoples’ skills.
Tell me friend, what’s your ancestry. Let’s see if I can’t find a recent immigrant ancestor no earlier than the Mayflower Puritans.
lol economists contribute jack to the economy. All they do is write papers about how we need more immigration.
We could deport every immigrant AND native born economist tomorrow and it wouldn't make a difference to the economy.
Do you know the names of any of these economists or their work: Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, John Maynard Keynes , Larry Summers.
