    I’m skeptical of anyone who says some demographic takes jobs, because it’s an intentional misplace of the blame.
    Nobody can take a job, but a company can give away a job.

    And strangely you don’t see these same people fighting to lower the birthrates of the majority demographics (since high birth rates will cause the same issues at immigration with a little delay).

    So how do you phrase your complaint while keeping the blame on businesses?

      yeah you’re right. i said there are arguments, not that they’re 100% waterproof or in all cases true.

      the thing you said about lowering birthrates is 100% correct, and businesses share a large part of the responsibility (through neoliberalism).

      still, the messages have to get out to the people and be discussed publicly, otherwise there is no progress in the discussion. one cannot just say that a certain thing has to happen or not happen without actually doing the work of discussing all arguments for and against something.
