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.
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.
10 bucks for reading something that’s probably just obvious propaganda? That’s not a good deal.
