> Do you have the belief that the way immigration is structured can't ever "be a problem"? No i don't have this belief. I believe immigration can be a problem in two circumstances: - when it's a settler colonial project such as in founding USA / Canada, because it's accompanied by an actual genocide - or when it pushes restricted resources even thinner, as we see in 3rd world countries who house most of the world's refugees / immigrants (most of them do not even try to reach Europe) > Would you for example consider if rent/housing costs went up by 400% in a short period It depends on the context, but as we are talking about wealthy western countries where resources are abundant (and actually wasted) i'd put that on the economic policies and not on immigration. Housing prices are correlated with speculation and the legal status of squatting, not with immigration ; that is because the prices are disconnected from the laws of supply and demand as the supply far exceeds the demands, but very few of it is actually put on the market. You're actually giving a very good example of how rich landlords and racist politicians (sometimes they are the same persons) are blaming immigration for their becoming richer on the backs of poor people entirely due to their own actions.
