Immigrants go to those states because they are already more prosperous, not the other way around.
-
How do you know that? Have you done a causal analysis, or are you bullshitting?
-
I don’t know but it was you who originally implied that it was immigrants who made those states richer. It’s probably both to some extent but I would bet it’s closer to prosperity leading to higher immigration than vice-versa.
-
Nope, didn't imply that, just implied that immigration doesn't hurt an economy. "I would bet" is pretty weak tea. Present data or go home!

CA and TX have good numbers, but New Mexico?

Not so great. But Hawaii is great!

Why care about the direction of causal relationship when it might hurt the agenda?
-
The causality almost certainly runs both ways.
-
That's fair I guess. I'd be lying if I said I didn't also require certainty from people saying things I dislike while virtue signaling based on "almost certainties" on topics I like.

Immigration only benefits capital. It stagnates wages for working class natives. A supply of cheap slave labor for the jobs they couldnt outsource.
-
Complete bullshit, contradicted by data.
-
This is the contradiction of capital, they must make a profit, while the worker must improve their wage. And so capital increases profit by outsourcing to third world sweat shops and inviting in third world labour over the border to stagnate wages and make profit

In general I think it’s unhelpful to put all immigrants in one uniform bucket, but high skill immigrants definitely help the economy and often work harder, in my experience.
