total clickbait, there's no evidence that immigration hurts wages, especially for high-skilled workers
breitbart willfully ignored the way that immigration-driven economic growth boosts wages for everyone through increases in demand etc.
just thought i'd point out that it's not just liberal sources that do this kind of thing
what point does that prove?
where's the causal link between immigration and that?
none of this actually proves the headline is all i'm saying
Stricter Immigration = Higher Wage Growth
get fucked
correlation does not imply causation
Immigration lowers wages
especially when most studies say there is no causation here
even conservative immigration scholars (e.g. George Borjas) haven't found that high-skilled immigration is bad for wages
Immigrant workers work for less, it lowers wages.
It cant get any more simple that that
it's not that simple tho
Alright, let's assume immigration improves wages
demand --> economic growth --> better wages
So what?
Is slight economic growth really worth a destroyed society?
so breitbart made a headline without backing it up
gtg
Even if strict immigration hurt the economy (which it dosent) it should be enforced
are y'all talking about illegal immigrtaion
da
Preservation of a country's nationality should be priority, it improves the economy, even if it were to hurt the economy, which in no case does it do that, it should still be done.
illegals help growth therefore the economy is improved.
yeah great logic
fuck those homeless natives
no we're not talking about illegal immigration
that's separate
from high-skilled legal immigration
which studies show has a positive effect on the economy, innovation, the deficit, and more
the same logic still applies
That high skill immigration doesn’t have a positive effect on the country we pouched the talent from. Those people should stay in their home country and make it great. Stealing all the high end people from the rest of the world isn’t ethical.
brain drain is a problem but we have high-skill work shortages so that takes priority
I'd argue otherwise to the point of high-skill work shortages. When it comes to high skill there are usually enough native-borns who can occupy it, but are not able to not only because of programs such as affirmative action but for other reasons such as how tightly employers hire now (the type of degree/years of study being raised higher). When speaking of western countries, native-born citizens statistically have the intelligence/skill capacity to do such labor. In regards to how fit they are/how fit they present themselves, that's a matter of culture (not just entertainment and lifestyle but things such as the cost of housing, of getting that PhD required to do a job someone with a bachelors, an associates, and even a high school diploma can do
