re: Help me understand the “pro immigration” argument

It’s impossible to argue immigration with a leftist and expect to make any headway. They will regurgitate the standard talking points like the ones in this thread (although the one that they are a net positive in the economy because they pay a bazillion dollars in taxes other than income taxes hasn’t been mentioned). Once you counter each one, they will eventually point out that your ancestors came her through immigration so you’re a hypocrite. They will be quite smug and consider you defeated.

Go do something outside instead like take a walk or fish.
