I don't understand this argument

Especially when a larger population theoretically means better tax programs for everyone.

Norway is white as fuck and hardly suffers from problems caused by diversity and welfare.

Imagine you're having dinner for 4 people at your home. You're in charge of preparations.

Ok now let's imagine you're having dinner for 400 people, and you're in charge of preparations.

Let's put it in terms you will understand: does Norway have a problem with mass immigration with a large percent of the population who are coming over with the intention to abuse the welfare system?

ah yes, it's those illegal ayyliens who are keeping our economy down, and NOT the actual rich and powerful in control of the vast majority of our nation's wealth

keep believing the racist and xenophobic bullshit if you want to be dumb and ignore the people actually behind our problems (super pacs, banking elites, selfish ceo's, etc)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_the_United_States#Economic

A survey of leading economists shows a consensus behind the view that high-skilled immigration makes the average American better off.[98] A survey of the same economists also shows strong support behind the notion that low-skilled immigration makes the average American better off.[99] According to David Card, Christian Dustmann, and Ian Preston, "most existing studies of the economic impacts of immigration suggest these impacts are small, and on average benefit the native population".[100] In a survey of the existing literature, rn B Bodvarsson and Hendrik Van den Berg write, "a comparison of the evidence from all the studies ... makes it clear that, with very few exceptions, there is no strong statistical support for the view held by many members of the public, namely that immigration has an adverse effect on native-born workers in the destination country."[101]

So if I called you an idiot you're not allowed to discredit me for resorting to an ad hominem?

No, I'd probably like you more because that's my second favorite argument. :-*

And you have to coordinate those 100 people to meet the needs of 400?

Population density and raw numbers make a difference too. Not everything scales linearly.
