Legal immigration to the U.S. has become borderline impossible over the past few years. I’ve even seen wealthy company owners get denied, it’s so bad. And yet, most of the country is at record low unemployment rates, with some areas losing population.
Water flows downhill. Air fills the vacuum.
We can hardly be shocked that otherwise normal people from a collapsing country think the dangerous journey is worth it under the current circumstances.
My most radical opinion is that American immigration has been running too low for almost a century, and a lot of the country’s pathologies are linked to that.
There hasn’t been enough immigration from the usual entry ports to make it far past the coast to areas that need people, or for communities to establish themselves in more affordable areas.
This country has forgotten what real growth looks like.
