| There’s a lot of information available already, feel free to look it up. No one reasonable says that (legal) immigration is bad, what becomes concerning is mass, unsanctioned movement. I don’t discount the humanitarian crises, which is why I think there needs to be a good faith effort to resolve the issues for people who are impacted by such crises. Sadly, the problem is realpolitikal, and that’s why there is no good faith solution which presents itself. See here for why immigration can be a net positive force, https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/do-immigrants-and-immigrati... And here https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w27075/w270... See here for why illegal immigration (everywhere, not just the U.S.) can be a destabilizing force, https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61464 https://www.irli.org/human-trafficking-is-proof-that-illegal... https://www.unodc.org/documents/toc/factsheets/TOC12_fs_migr... Some people don’t want to leave their homelands and are forced into it https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/Hot%20Spots/Docume... So the issue isn’t about racism, mass migration from a country is not a healthy indication of state of affairs, and in some way countries tacitly sanction bad governance by others when they absorb the problems of others. No one should have to leave their homelands for economic or safety reasons. |
