> If you add fifty million more people to the U.S.: how many people will Google need to hire to deal with the extra demand? Zero. This is a remarkably silly argument to make because there are multiple ways a company might need to scale. Let's say a hundred of those 50m people make a new startup that becomes the Netflix of [x]. Are you saying that said increased activity would result in zero effect to companies such as Google or Amazon? You implicitly seem to be assuming that these are 50m unskilled immigrants in order to setup a facetious argument. That these new immigrants are not creating companies of their own and spurring economic activity on their own.
