@JayantBhandari5 So the solution you propose for indians like yourself is to leave india?

@MyUnveiledTruth ad hominem.

@PaulaCrosswell @BGoodun76420 Then we're in agreement 😊, as I have no issue with the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@PaulaCrosswell @BGoodun76420 You do realise that the post that we're commenting under called for the deportation of every immigrant, legal or illegal.

I have never argued against the deportation of illegal immigrants, economic or not.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@PaulaCrosswell @BGoodun76420 Again you're right, but in the UK, spending such as on debt interest repayments, defense, natural monopolies, don't vary based on population size.

Overall, the fall in spending from removing every immigrant does not outweigh the loss of tax revenues in any economic forecasting

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@PaulaCrosswell @BGoodun76420 And yes you're right that demand reduces but infrastructure requires investment to maintain. Removing EVERY immigrant would mean the workforce shrinks faster than demand drops, and the UK gov. will have less tax revenue to maintain existing infra even if under less pressure.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@GreekTheNic @BGoodun76420 That's not an economic justification my friend.

The UK would become the 3rd world country that you're desperate to get away from. Our GDP would tank, so would standard of living, most job markets would also collapse, whether it's industries like finance or even toilet cleaning.

@GreekTheNic @BGoodun76420 👋👋

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@GreekTheNic @BGoodun76420 Facts don't care about your feelings my friend, we all hate illegal immigrants and the rape gangs and there is no economic issue with the deportation of these.

But when you use that to justify deportation of every immigrant, it just doesn't align with the economic reality.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@GreekTheNic @BGoodun76420 Also you do realise that legal immigrants, especially EU born, are employed at similar or higher rates than natives. (80.9% vs 74.6%).

I just want to know the reason why EVERY immigrants needs to go, without using a minority to justify it.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@GreekTheNic @BGoodun76420 I condemn the rape gangs and the people who did it, and they should be deported, but you're arguing everyone should and are justifying it with an argument aimed at a group of people.

I agree that these animals should not be present in the country, but that's not everyone.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@PaulaCrosswell @BGoodun76420 Also there's a loss of economics of scale. Networks like water, rail, electricity cost the same whether there's 1 person using them or 1000 since marginal cost is 0. With fewer legal immigrants paying for it through taxes, per capital cost on the remaining natives will increase.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@PaulaCrosswell @BGoodun76420 No actually it would increase, from an economists point of view.

Removing tax-paying non-natives does not decrease the no. of elderly natives who need state pensions and social care. (Aging popl.)

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@GreekTheNic @BGoodun76420 Also since you believe I'm miseducated, can you please explain how much of a burden legal immigrants are, and how their presence is an overall drag to the UK, and how without every immigrant, the UK economy and GDP would be no.1

Thanks.

[jeff @jeffjeffer5l]

@PaulaCrosswell @BGoodun76420 The native workforce also lacks the training, numbers, and demographic (aging population) to replace missing workers.

Obviously I'm also against illegal immigrants but if you ask any economist to run a simulation of what would happen if every immigrant is removed, its not good.
