    Clown statement…

    Legal immigration is not much better:

    CBO estimated that net immigration was 2.67 million immigrants in 2022, and 3.3 million immigrants in 2023, the highest in its data going back to 2000, and about triple the average rate between 2000 and 2021 (1.05 million immigrants per year).

    I wonder why this would happen… What happened in 2022 that would require a large infux of slave labour?
