Replying to @Noahpinion @reihan
Do you agree with the foundation of his analysis that says low-skilled immigration paired with increasing automation will necessarily create a permanent underclass?

Replying to @UpsetPatterns @reihan
I think that A) mass low-skilled immigration *can* create a racialized underclass (see: Malaysia, Singapore), but that it often doesn't, and America seems less likely to have that happen, and B) the automation thing is possible but I doubt it.
