Why limit immigration? - Lemmy.World

Aside from racism. I mean economically/socially, what issues does too much immigration cause?

Immigration only really causes economic issues with bullshit employee specific visas like H1Bs - those visas trap immigrants in powerless positions where they’re unable to advocate for fair compensation and drive down overall wages.

Everything else is fucking bullshit xenophobia.

Would more supply of workers (even naturalized ones) not drive down wages too?
Eh, it doesn’t really seem like that tends to happen… economies are weird and if you keep adding people you tend to just get more and more service jobs.
Doesn’t sound that weird. More people means more people to serve, so more service jobs are needed.

and now you need houses for people to live in and people to make the houses, and now there’s more people and they invent things, which makes things better and more people come and there’s more farming and more people to make more things for more people and now there’s business, money, writing, laws, power

Can we go on land yet?
