> Why is the number of the imported workforce relevant and not their added value? What are you gonna do with millions of unskilled immigrants if the workers you're loosing are experienced doctors and engineers? 200 unskilled workers can't replace a retired doctor you need right now to care for your medical condition. This is why official immigration really, really prefers anyone with experience. And while government remains government (you have the papers ready and notarized in triplicate, right? RIGHT?). If you have university education, or even a bachelor, you can essentially immigrate officially/legally anywhere, taking your family, even now into the US. And if you have a valuable trade, something like a medical degree? A 50+ people company? IT experience? Come on in! The rest is explained by "beggars can't be choosers". And by the fact that you need cheap food places, so you need kebab chefs. > throw unlimited unskilled bodies at the problem and expect it to solve itself while ignoring the additional problems this also creates Have you noticed this is a theme with Trump? But really, it is a theme with democrats as well. And, frankly, this is how it's always worked. The ancient Romans, and the many imitating them (e.g. muslims) did things this way, papering over any problem by just throwing bodies at the problem, preferring skilled people but eventually taking anyone they could (that were people they kidnapped through war campaigns). It worked, by the way, with many ups and downs, but essentially worked, until their rate of conquest did not manage to create population growth anymore. Then things destabilized and eventually blew up entirely.
