universities have limited classrooms and labs to fill. A country is not limited.

Of course a country is limited. Limited territory, limited resources.

the US is not being destroyed by immigrants coming and stealing the territory and resources. The US has plenty of unused fallow land that immigrants can buy/lease with real money and work with real labor. the US doesn't give free territory and resources to immigrants. It should allow them to freely trade in it.

You're strawmanning me. I never said anything about the US being destroyed by immigrant or a stealing of territory or resources. In fact I never mentioned the US.

The comment I responded to was:

> universities have limited classrooms and labs to fill. A country is not limited.

That's factually incorrect. A country is limited in a lot of ways.

To be honest I think that your definition of "immigrant" is biased.

universities are close to 100% full and have no more space. A country like US is not even 3% filled.

Most immigrants pay more taxes than they owe. In other words they add resources rather than cost them.
