Person A: I support high levels of immigration.
Person B: Weren't you complaining about wages being too low? High levels of immigration directly impact wage growth in a negative way.
Person A: Yeah, but we don't have enough people to care for and replace baby boomers, so we need those immigrants.
Besides telling boomers to get rekt, what's your initial response?
Obviously, it's hypocritical to dissuade citizens from having children, and then turning around and saying we don't have enough people so we need more immigrants.
But I feel like I'm missing something here and can't quite put my finger on it.
There's a reason the ones in charge keep pushing this and their useful idiots parrot it because they're idiots. The obvious problem that the foreigners being imported aren't going to care about the boomers, unless it's their family. There's also a lot of them that just leech off of welfare programs like parasites and contribute nothing back. They won't give a fuck about the people they're being brought into replace, regardless of the replaced people's ages.
Speaking of replacement, this is as real as ever.
