"Good Evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight," said Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker Carlson Tonight. Sorry, I just found that funny.
Last week, Tucker Carlson made the point that no one ever makes an economic case for mass migration because one simply can't be made. Of course, this is wrong. How do I know this is wrong? Because it's actually a very easy case to make.
Most of the "economic" arguments against immigrants always come down to the zero-sum fallacy.
"They take our jobs," they say while saying "they don't work and drain off our welfare," somehow. These people really don't make much sense.
Here's the objective fact: Even an unskilled immigrant creates 1.2 jobs for the average native worker. This causes a larger economy meaning more immigrants can come in with more jobs for native workers following.
So yes, Tucker. An economic case can be made in simply one paragraph. Congrats.
