The US has a lot of space and a lot of farmland. Most countries don’t. As ocean transportation of food (amongst other resources) becomes less reliable due to lack of security, people will be fleeing their failed or failing country to one that’s more stable.
You’re right to think that the US has shit policies for immigration now but I think that will change once population decline starts affecting how much food is stocked at grocery stores.
I anticipate things being a lot worse than they are even now over the next 15 years. Multiple wars, state-sanctioned sea piracy, and a failure in the complex supply chain that creates advanced chipsets used for things like servers/workstations, satellites, weather prediction, stock markets, etc. leading to a mini-collapse as a best-case scenario.
My dude, it's not just the shit policies for immigration, its the fact it's rapidly turning into to the sort of country most migrants have fled from
I’m well aware. I think it’s temporary though. I believe that there will be significant problems when the cost of importing food skyrockets, the cost of domestic food skyrockets, and the farmers are telling their local news that they need immigrants back.
This might happen soon too, we just signed a deal with the devil to try to cap the exploding cost of diesel. That fuel is used to create and move food.
