    If we had (…) immigration would not be harmful.

    I’m getting tired of repeating the simple fact that it already isn’t. Stop repeating the propaganda of those we’re fighting against, please.

    Without certain socialist policies in place first, high immigration weakens the leverage workers have.

    First of all: no. That’s simply not true. Second of all, the US has low immigration per capita compared to most countries.

      What you’re doing is propaganda.

      Notice how you don’t even bother to refute the claim I made, just immediately trying to shame me out of expressing it.

      I believe in dialectics, not giving in to name-calling.

        No, what I’m doing is disabusing you of false notions, that you haven’t provided any proof of yourself.

        Study showing that immigration depressing wages is close to zero at first and actually INCREASES productivity and wages in the long run.

        As for property prices, compare this to the fact that net immigration is declining. .

        I believe in fact-based arguments, not blindly repeating commonly believed lies and complaining about being shamed when others point it out.
