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!

The ironic thing is that the vast majority of those in the U.S. illegally have overstayed their visas. They're here from all over the world. But those physically crossing the border tend to look different and are usually poor. Easy targets.

And some more irony from where I'm standing? Having lived around a lot of, particularly, Mexican immigrants? Among the hardest working, family-oriented, and kindest people I've ever been around. Compared to say Russian and Armenian immigrants here illegally? Often to game the system? Not so much.

@Ynotisay the US can't afford to stop exploitation of newcomers and pretend to hate public health and science and still keep slaving.
