It's a quick hot take that many I know like to spout off without any effort to look into things. They aren't interested in looking any further into it unfortunately. Much like reading in school, they are done with that phase of their lives.

I think if they did, they would realize the major thrust of immigration are students to support universities higher tuitions and a continual new workforce for low wage jobs that others aren't going to work.

There is the added bonus of these people needing rental housing but it's not the main thrust of the issues which are too much for many to bother looking into.
