The ultimate case for immigration.

Tbh, the US population probably won't decrease for the next 3-4 decades. But imagine the rest of the world's population going up while the US population stagnates.

Not to mention by then, thebUS would have to worry a lot more than China as economic rivlas.  (ahem Brazil and Indonesia).

The short-term consequences of being anti high skill immigration is making sure people who are making $150K now will make be making $200K (like that's really gonna help out the country). Long-term consequences? You create a giant complacent workforce that can't compete with the rest of the world.

Maybe there's a reason beyond orange man bad? Maybe your second point has to do with corporations (particularly big tech) flagrantly abusing these work visa programs to undercut wages and jobs for American workers? Sure, these visa programs are intended for "high skill" workers, but unfortunately, that's not the case in reality. 

As someone who's currently trying to immigrate stop giving him MS - he's absolutely right. Trump is cracking down hard on any sort of immigration and he's created so much hassle/red tape that very few companies are willing to sponsor anymore. 

It also sucks that the only visa available is the H1-B: an American-system educated student has no real advantage versus someone who's never stepped foot into this country. 

The reality whether most people want to admit - most merit-based immigration is non-white and with the republican party going full white nationalist, it's no surprise that they're doing this.

Cringe globalist take, as useless as it can be, the gov can and should be utilized for the people’s benefit and gov can ded incentivize increasing birth rates

Restrict abortion or provide higher child subsidies

Very easy.

Subsidies for having children can replace costly immigration administration via the civil service. Do you have any idea how much it costs? Shit ain't cheap.

Encouraging procreation through media.

The options are numerous.

I hope you learned in your Econ class the concept of diminishing returns . Greater economic potential as a whole does not imply greater economic potential per capita. Once scarce resources are used , the marginal benefit starts to decrease. A good example of what I am trying to say is average quality of life in NYC versus a rural hometown. For comparison the median household in NYC earns $64,000 while the median household in South Dakota earns $56,000. I don’t think it’s difficult to know which median household is having a better life. Yet the economy of NYC is far greater and more developed than your average town in South Dakota.

Probably bc your testosterone dropped significantly.

Seriously - why is it crazy to figure out a solution for our own people first? What's so outlandish about that? If the discussion was about a lack of scientists, for example, I could understand the need to import scientists, but we're talking about the birth decline of our nation. Of our people.

Think of it this way. America is great bc of Americans and our culture. Why do ppl go on vacation to Japan, Spain, Italy, etc? To experience and enjoy a different culture. But now what if these countries were majority non-natives, would the cuture still remain? The answer is no. So then what would be the point of going to them then? To mindlessly visit another geographical area of land? 

Minorities vote Democrat because the Democrat party touts itself as “the party of equality”. The same party of course that legitimize systemic discrimination of Asians, pushed “planned parenthood” into Black communities to reduce the Black population, mentally degraded Blacks by making them believe they need “White help” to succeed, and supporting criminals and looters that have ravaged communities. The tide is starting to change however. Trump with his criminal justice reform initiative and economic opportunity zones has gained unprecedented Black support for the Republican Party. People who keep saying the GOP is a white nationalist party are living under a rock. Among those who vote Republican this cycle, we’re set to see the percentage of those who are White to be the smallest in decades.

OP is about the decline of birth not a lack of skilled labor my friend.

Yeah, I think part of it is racially motivated...  You do not look like us or sound like us, therefore you can possibly be a good fit for us. 

I know that it is good for the US to have more high skilled labor but in a way, I am more opposed to immigration focused on high skill because these people compete with us in schools and in high paying jobs.  I think immigrants with low skill take the jobs that many Americans do not want.
