My MMT view of immigration: let everyone that wants to come, come in; we give them education, we prepare them, and they become active members of the economy, increasing the economic output. Oh, and also, we guarantee jobs for everyone coming in. Have a good Friday!

Well, MMT has all the details. My extrapolation of MMT principles to immigration in a tweet does not. But the policies and processes necessary do not seem any worse than starting a war in the ME, vaccinating 100 million people, or spending 85B to build train tracks.

Sometimes I wish politicians would do things like this just so we could put it to rest one way or the other. Fling the borders open for 2 years, zero restrictions, what happens, happens. No more guessing.

Doesn't have to be a unilateral move for a single country; but MMT would suggest the degree a govt can invent money without secondary inflation effects is based on the available workforce to absorb it, more workforce more injection, more employed more output and more great works

Let people flow to where there is work to be done; obviously there are social complications like enough people in UK didn't like freedom of movement in the EU, hence Brexit
