This. Immigration is always the problem. What happens when a country gets flooded with people? Everything goes up in price (because demand exceeds supply) and there are fewer jobs. There are finite resources on this planet but humans are technically infinite as people keep shitting out kids so that's why things will only get worse.

Immigration has, time and again, been a benefit for growing economies. It essentially boils down to having a broader variety of skill sets and the benefits from an economy of scale.
The problem is making sure that the benefits of that growing economy are divided somewhat fairly.
The world is not running out of enough resources to sustain mankind, it just doesn't have enough to sustain a political system based off greed and consumption. We functionally live in a post scarcity world, but capitalism depends on scarcity to create a power structure.
Again, how's it going, knowing most of your education was ideology, designed to reinforce your entertainment media and your politicians? Critical thinking we never part of the plan.

There was a baby boom, so then there was a high demand for housing when they grew up. Then there was a baby bust, so there SHOULD have been a low demand for housing for the next generation, making them priced low. But they werent. Because of immigration (driving up housing prices), the Fed, and the wars in the middle east.

immigration raises gdp but not gdp per capita unless debt is taken to pay for it. debt spending raises gdp per capita short term quite effectively

also larger government size raises gdp effectively as government workers are counted twice in gdp = government spending + employer spending

This.
Add in the fact that wage growth is tied to the CPI, and the CPI is a load of shit that doesnt measure inflation, it measures consumer spending and the data used to calculate it can be massaged by politicians to spit out whatever CPI they want.

Real inflation is closer to 7% in most western countries post GFC

Immigration does dilute the earnings potential of the labor force, but that's only an argument for profits to be shared collectively, or taxed in order to provide better public infrastructure and amenities.
A system without those mechanisms will always devolve into feudalism.

People mass selling their Chainlink does reduce the price, but that's only an argument for the remaining buyers to offer higher prices, or to buy more.

See how retarded that sounds?

The labor market is a market. You're flooding it with immigration supply and have idiotic ideas to repair the damage.
