    Fucking hell I almost wish they could get their wish and we could just have zero immigration for two years.

    When not a single pound of produce is available in stores and every industy grinds to a halt because all the people who did the actual work are gone and every institution fails within 6 months I'd really love to see all these dipshits completely incapable of doing anything for themselves start demanding we import foreign labor.

    It would be pretty similar to a general strike as far as demonstrating who's actually necessary to the operation of the country.

      They’ll airlift Ukrainian refugees in to replace all the workers from Latin America.

        And then be confused why there's only 4 people on the 200 person transport they paid for.

        They're already trying to do that. Nobody's having kids in this economy and the price of childcare will sprocket if there no immigrant labor.

        Also babies are the answer to the labor shortage 10 years from now. A bunch of 1 year olds aren't picking vegetables or working BOH.
