Heaven forbid we allow more migrants, though.
That's John Mearsheimer's big case for immigration. He talks about how developed countries get that "inverted pyramid" demographic spread (lots of old people, low birthrate, fewer young people) and how immigration is actually America's edge over China and Russia in that regard.
America pisses it away, again.
I've actually seen immigration framed as superexploitation - labor is the superior of capital, so countries can suck up labor from underdeveloped countries and use them to advance their own economies even further. Even if they send back remittances it never makes up for the loss of labor power.
But America and Europe are too racist to actually take advantage of this dynamic.
At this point reactionaryism is the lysenkoism of social sciences.
Too stubborn to even do anything other than the most far-right thing possible, even if it saves your right-wing ass.
