    Sorry typo, meant to say taking not talking. I used to drop acid in my youth and know how it affected those with psychological problems.

    Mott is great. Dude is just good people. You can argue with him and then just start b.s.'ing like good buddies. Last time I visited Columbus I tried to hook up with him for a drink but unfortunately our schedules couldn't coordinate. I wanted to be able to give him sh*t in person instead of just over the board. Haha.

    He keeps saying that he wants to come to Thailand but his missus keeps him on a tight leash.

    What we need is more workers to take summa those jobs that by being unfilled are causing inflation.

    We know where we can get lots of willing new workers who just want to be good Americans!

    " ...welcoming more low-wage foreign workers could address acute labor shortages in certain industries, helping hard-hit areas of the country recover while staving off higher inflation. "

    "Low-wage workers, many of whom have been deemed “essential” during the pandemic, are particularly important to ensuring that those places can bounce back. According to an analysis by the Brookings Institute, low-wage workers make up between 30 and 62 percent of the jobs in nearly 400 metropolitan areas nationwide and are the backbone of “Main Street” businesses that support jobs for others and make neighborhoods attractive places to live and work. "

    "Increasingly, Americans don’t want to do these jobs. Immigrants have already seized the opportunity to fill that void, especially in the industries seeing the largest increases in job postings amid the pandemic. Given that these industries already lean disproportionately on immigrants, they are well positioned to capitalize on policies increasing the supply of immigrant labor. "

    "What’s really required is a rewrite of the country’s immigration laws that sets a much larger target for admissions under all the categories and probably adds a fifth category for climate migrants, which is going to be an increasingly large part of the flow that we see from the Southern Hemisphere in the coming decade ... "

    Immigrants could fix the US labor shortage
    The border has not been closed since Slow Joe became the illegitimate president.

    So you support illegal immigration.

    Hello cawacko,

I'll share a famous Bay Area example. During the Trump years and his anti-immigrants sentiment a lady in Berkeley had a 'Immigrants Welcome Here' sign in her front yard. She was then seen at a Berkeley city planning commission meeting fighting against a new multi-family development next to one of Berkeley's BART stations. So the sentiment of course was she was fine with immigrants coming, as long as they didn't live near her.

    For the educated immigrants this is less of a problem as they are for more likely to be able to afford housing. But for the now infamous "poorly educated" types of immigrants its a different story. The areas with the most wealth and job opportunities often have the most restrictive housing policies. We can say ship a bunch of immigrants to BFE Kansas but what exactly are they going to do there?

    To me, calling for more immigration doesn't jive with having anti-growth policies in place. It's a contradictory position.

    (And yes, I believe we need increased immigration)
    I don't see that as a big issue. Many immigrants are able to work in the construction industry. Their presence and participation in the consumer market will drive demand which will create new jobs which will pay them to be able to afford to pay rent and/or mortgage for new housing which they will build.

    What's the problem?

    The problem is not allowing the new building of housing. It doesn't matter how much you pay people if you don't allow supply to keep up with demand. But you knew this already...

    The longer this goes on unchecked, the further I dig into a position of no mercy. No sympathy, no empathy, no mercy, no compromise. Anyone who came here illegally, overstayed a legal visa, was born here to someone who came here illegally, you can all return to the country you came from, either voluntarily or involuntarily. No compromise even for DACA adults and anchor babies. Even citizen anchor babies. Apply, and get in line.

    That is only a problem in the most desirable locations which have all been built out. All we need to do is build elsewhere and create awesome public mass transit.

    Desirable areas can increase density, we just don't because well to do home owners fight against it. And we're not China where the federal gov't just declares we're going to build essentially new cities and move a bunch of people there. It doesn't work that way.

    As the density of desirable areas increases, they become less desirable for those who prefer less density. Those who settle in growing areas are fighting reality if they expect the area to remain the way it was when they moved in. Meanwhile, there is still plenty of land to build on in other areas. That is the logical place for expansion. Efficient affordable quick transportation is the key. Develop that, and all the squabbles over living in one particular area become less pronounced.

    Poverty causes over-population. Poor people have larger families than rich people. The solution is to eliminate poverty. When people have all their basic needs met, they have fewer children.

    People have more opportunities to escape poverty in the USA than in Central America. If we refuse them entry, poverty and over-population grows faster than if we allow them in.

    The USA can help the world avoid over-population by letting more immigrants in.

    It's all good, with no downside. We let more immigrants in and it reduces inflation, reduces poverty, reduces over-population.
