If they are fed up with immigration they are stupid. “Gee we have declining birth rates and we want to deny this pool of labor that might correct course because they are brown.” The american empire was built on easy immigration. Turns out the tired and poor that we took in can build empires and win europe’s major wars for them.

The job market has imploded and the economy hasn't been growing since 2008. There definitely needs to be a cap.
If only there were more customers to grow markets! Hmm I wonder how that could be done…
You are not going to get more customers with higher house prices or through greater youth unemployment.

Prices are high from zoning preventing the market to build to meet demand.
Immigration is a duct tape solution to fixing things at this point. It is not going to build you an empire today.

Maybe, but lack of it will definitely lose you one.
