The real solution has always been immigration to get more bodies in the country managing the economy. It’ll never happen though.

Doesn't that just kick the can down the road?

No. The world population will hit 10 billion in the year 2040. The only question is whether there will be enough people to keep the first world going or not.

Lolwat?

To replace the existing population, you have to throw open the gates and let people in. No country is willing to do that.

Annual migration rate into the US doubled since covid... Canada UK and AU experiencing similar spikes is my understanding.

What's really you talking about?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're listening to too much right-wing media. In fact, deportations have increased under Biden compared to Trump.

Ohh rly...

What was annual migrant I flow between 2000-20...

What is the avg migrant inflow post covid...

Basic Data anyone can check.

Also deportation argument is giant redherring.

Only number that matters is net... And I doubt they are deproting enough to offset the raise in imports.

So let's talk numbers...

You didn't put in any numbers which means you don't have them. You're being oppositional for opposition's sake and are not worth further engagement. /out

CBO came up with its own population estimates by combining data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with Census Bureau data.

CBO estimated that net immigration was 2.67 million immigrants in 2022, and 3.3 million immigrants in 2023, the highest in its data going back to 2000, and about triple the average rate between 2000 and 2021 (1.05 million immigrants per year).

But the Census Bureau has failed to account for the huge influx of immigrants

So tell me now how you were talking out of your ass on a topic you know nothing about while accusing me of being "right wing"

Clown fucking discussion. Get better.

And the reason why you can't be conversed with is that you are in it for the attack. I have an opinion and your response is "NOOO YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE OF NUMBERS" as if I don't have a right to believe what I believe. Then you made it personal on multiple occasions. What is really happening here is that someone has an opinion that bothers you and you feel insecure as a result and need to attack.

Having sent this message, I will now block you to make sure I never have to encounter you again.

Your poorly educated take based on the slop fed to you by the regime along with a partisan accusation is the proper way to have a discussion?
