seems there are lots of immigrants here (I’m the daughter of one!). some random Qs I can’t shake: 1. what parts of current immigration discussion are the most important to you? 2. why/why not should we distinguish between legal v illegal immigration? 3. who do you think is most affected by immigration in the US?

1. How immigration changes the structure of society. 2. Are completely different and should be completely separate. I guess naming it differently would be a great good step 3. Depends which immigration. But big companies benefit and the poor gets wrecked generally

Interesting questions. Allow me, an immigrant, share some of my perspectives 1. Immigration policies, especially the stupid rules on immigration based on birth place. European countries don’t discriminate like that. In addition, H1B visa lottery system. 2. Should, their ways to stay in this country are different.

1. Integration 2. We should, they’re quite different. 3. Positively, in aggregate: everyone. Negatively: low skill labor and services.

1. The US immigrant -> founder pipeline and how it isn’t emphasized nearly enough. 2. Someone mentioned old world scarcity mindset elsewhere and I think that’s big facts - also painfully uncreative 3. US citizens (but because they’re losing out on QOL gains from future startups not from labor replacement)

What a great topic, thanks for prompting the convo. 1. Most important: migration is natural. Species migrate to find the best conditions to live, there are no such things as countries and borders, those are a human social construct.

2. We should distinguish between those who have the means and access to immigrate legally v illegally & discuss how we can make “living a better life” possible for illegal ones. Where I’m living a ton of legal immigrants are living a better life while locals and illegals are struggling

The immigration system in the US is a bureaucratic, Kafka-esque clusterfuck. It *desperately* needs reform and simplification. If people want to work, study, or live in the US, let them be here with minimal friction. We’d all be better off for it, culturally and economically. Also, https://youtu.be/aKpgb2WrGo0

2. “Illegal” is an unfortunate label IMO. Yet, there needs to be a way to distinguish, since many immigrants are going through lengthy processes doing the right thing.
