Or you could build more housing. Many of those immigrants would love to work doing that! And a lot of it is actually not really immigrants anyway, but household formation in a large cohort: https://oregoneconomicanalysis.com/2023/10/26/household-formation-in-oregon/ https://oregoneconomicanalysis.com/2023/10/26/household-form...

A vacant house in Cyanide Springs, Oklahoma doesn't do much good if your job is in Mountain View, California.
