Pete Hegseth coming to Europe at a time of war and telling us, we have an immigrant problem, really reveals how little he understands about European economy.

In Denmark where I live, 12 percent of our GDP is created by foreign workers. If we said no thanks to that, we could not afford the impressive quality in our healthcare sector, our Ukraine aid, etc.

But the good news is, he will find out, because farms in the US have lost the foreign workers that were not white enough to the Trump regime.

@randahl I was talking to someone in a Norwegian tech company about how easy it will be to get a job, and he's like "it's competitive, but that's true for everyone. The real value is that is that you are a native English speaker" Computer science terms don't always float between borders all that well, because they're abstract and complex concepts. Immigrants open up the market of their native country because of language, culture, etc. And that's valuable.
