Mark Miller was the one who said it. He said immigration helped us avoid a recession, which means GDP would have shrunk without them.

    Our population grew at 17%.
    Our GDP grew at 17%.
    That is how we got a near-0% per capita GDP.

    Are you really saying that all these immigrants, many to most of whom work minimum-wage jobs because they have no ability to leverage their own foreign education and certifications, are really going to be equally as economically productive as citizens who have advanced/established careers and domestically-recognized certifications and education?

    Ya gotta use your brain once in a while, man. Otherwise your ignorance ends up bleeding out all over the place.

    It’s just as bad as Schrödinger’s immigrant: simultaneously lazy AF and mooching off of social security, while also taking all of our jobs. It’s a recipe for racism and ignorance, while also being intellectually bankrupt.
