https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/07/08/immigrants-america-workforce/ Stephen Moore is a giant douche but he is mostly right here. Declining immigration weighs on GDP growth, with little impact on inflation https://www.barrons.com/articles/migration-employment-growth-inflation-01fdab43 Net immigration could be around zero in 2025. Boomers are retiring and the domestic workforce is declining. Population growth is below zero population growth. Expecting high GDP growth in such an environment is folly.
Yeah but MAGA owns the liberals and Rump will tariff our way to prosperity like we did in the roaring twenties. Duh!
I’m not opposed to immigration, per se. I work for a European couple who immigrated legally. They jumped through all the hoops and at some expense to themselves. And I am confident that we contribute to the GDP.
