Immigrants aren’t taking jobs. The ruling class leverages their immense power in society to push down wages of the entire working class and instills fear of speaking out through exploitation of the desperation of immigrants.
“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.
There’s enough work to be done in this country that everyone should have the ability to place a job if they are willing and able. However capitalism demands artificial scarcity to maintain itself, so capitalists artificially restrict the amount of available positions.
Both. Both are bad.

If immigrants are employed then isn’t that a job someone else could be doing?
Jobs are productive. Every person that is employed grows the economy, so every job done by an immigrant creates another job.
AI has yet to be productive. Right now it’s just destroying jobs. Nothing is created, except maybe data center construction jobs.
That sounds dubious to me. Is there a study or something to back up the idea of every immigrant job creating another job?

What’s “this country”?
