Which harms the economy more? Covid lockdowns or immigration restrictions?

Is even close?
Bigots or economists?
Who get to be the experts we trust?
Who really wins?
It's not social science criminalizing immigration. It's bigots.

Lord knows how bigots hate a lockdown!

that depends on whether you are speaking about short term or long term. Covid lockdown was necessary to save lives. So, in the short term it hurt the economy, but, with fewer people dying, that economy should come back. If we restrict immigration, we lose the diversity that a population grows on, and the labor force expands as needed.
