Every conservative argument against immigration is rooted in ironically enough...socialist flavored collective ownership over property.

what

You can easily call their bullshit out too on how theyre only against ILLEGAL immigration by suggesting to make it as easy as possible to immigrate here for employment with the catch being that they can pass a vaccine check, background check, disease check, and are illegible for any welfare assistance. They always move the goal posts too. They legit just hate brown people and will throw out another zero-sum fallacy about how theyre going to take someone elses job, when employment is not a fixed pie as there are no static set finite number of jobs in existence.

true that the size of the pie is not fixed; it grows at a certain rate

when the pie grows faster than the population, wages rise and job availability increases; when the population grows faster, wages stagnate

bad monetary policy exacerbates this but that's another discussion, though it's important to note that the economic growth of the past decade is unsustainable and driven by dovish monetary policy; a bubble, if you will, and the real state of affairs will be ugly when it catches up with us

there is absolutely room for immigration but any policy that does not factor its relationship with wages into the equation is not approaching policy from an economically pragmatic standpoint
