"Jobs" are not a finite resource. That's just the broken window fallacy with a dash of bigotry.

Or from a macro-economic view, since immigrants are also consumers, studies typically show that immigrants increase aggregate demand for jobs more than they increase aggregate supply.

    Do the jobs that are taken by immigrants create jobs in the same field that the person who lost the job can be employed in? Because it creating a job in some other unrelated field doesn't really help the original person. Nor does the line for someone going up necessarily.

    It's important here to clarify, what do you mean by immigrant? Like do H1B status people who live in the country count? Because I can kind of understand you if that's what you're talking about.

    If your're talking about migrant people who get desperately exploited then honestly fuck off.
