@DuttyCoombs@KymJohnson Now $350,000/month isn't the greatest salary out there, but I'd wager that a lot of people here would consider you well off if you earned that, but that's only minimum wage in Florida.
@DuttyCoombs@KymJohnson South Florida might be worse in cost of living, but compare the median income in South Florida to the median salary in Jamaica. The minimum wage in FL is UD$14/hr. At that rate, a full-time worker would earn US$2240 - approximately $350,000 - per month.

This feels like y'all refuse to learn from other's mistakes, or benefit from repeated studies. There's so much research on Induced Demand yet we still choose this as a solution. You don't even have to look very far or hard to find some of these studies either

People who don't live in a country who won't be directly impacted by decisions made for that country should not have a say in what happens in that country.
U need to give this a rest Mark.
They've been on this talking point for some time now, and you'd think that the move would be to elevate the level of your citizens if you believe there's a dearth of talent. Instead, they've been talking about the need to import workers for years
