That's why they let in massive number of immigrants from poor countries.

We should really be letting in an order of magnitude more if we don't want our economy to drive off a cliff

If you're a politician you can tax $500 from one productive member of society and redistribute $100 to four unproductive and lazy members. You get four votes instead of one. It's called job security.

Those immigrants will just vote for the same shitty policies that made their countries poor; it's not a solution.

It just sounds like you're a retarded racist. People like you are why this country is such a shithole. This is why we need immigrants: dilution is the solution

It sounds like you're statistically illiterate. Indian and Pakistani immigrants to the US overwhelmingly vote for the same socialist, anti-business practices that have kept their countries poor. And in business Indians engage in the same kind of anti-meritocratic caste-based discrimination.
