There are specific nations the US could give near unrestricted immigration from without limits or issues and it just wouldn't be a problem.

The problem is, since 1950, the nations historically on that list have effectively removed themselves with their own immigration policies. As late as 2000 you could just take any Canadian who said hey I'd like to work in the US and, just assume they would be productive and lawful.

Whatever your top estimate (8 million?) would not cause a housing or integration issue even if concentrated in metros.

Financial Media 1980-2020: The words inflation will always be coupled with interest rate as it's the primary mechanic the fed continuously hints at while trying to stay on target

Financial Media 2021: wow there is inflation everywhere (interest rate 🦗) Fed: hey we see inflation remaining strong through 2022

Also fed: hey we're commencing tapering which will have rates low until late 2022 because we need to get unemployment from 4.8% down to 3.4% even though we can't get people to interview

Media: wow all this inflation 😲

We'd do so much better if we just used RHD ford transit vans because we won't have 30 year old vehicles bursting in flames for lack of parts. And can we just put a robot arm on them already? Its 80% of the job.

The 70s helicopter attack on the Whitehouse did not stop being domestic terrorism just because the President wasn't there. *fires ak-47 at Whitehouse*

Well good thing the President was in California today.
