    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.

    Was thinking about how dems firmly believe in human rights as long as they're not the ones holding the lash.

    Article

    The envisioned changes would make it much harder for officials to end the partial asylum ban by tweaking the threshold at which it would be deactivated.

    . . .

    Under the changes, however, the asylum restrictions would only deactivate if the seven-day average stays below 1,500 for 28 days. It would also include more migrants in the deactivation trigger's calculations. Currently, crossings by non-Mexican unaccompanied children are excluded. The updated calculations would include all unaccompanied children.

    Naturally the article goes on to accept all sorts of false premises about immigrants, refuses to examine the ways in which Biden and Trump have violated international law (beyond some token, detail-free quotations from the ACLU), and never once uses the word "refugee" or asks why people might want to flee their homes.
