    Canada had an annual immigration rate of 1.4 million per year and the population is 40 million and that’s still with a limited non-open door policy, and it was way too much which Canada realized and started to restrict it, which would be the equivalent of America bringing in 14 million a year.

    I absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if 100 mil wanted to immigrate to America over ten years if there was an open door policy.

    Infrastructure isn’t tied directly to labour available.

    There needs to be enough time to construct, enough money to invest, enough space to have proper city layouts etc.

    You can’t just build a water treatment plant anywhere.

    You also can only build housing and schools and hospitals so fast, an extra 100 million people in America in less than ten years would mean and extra 25% or everything needing to be built in less than ten years.

    At the moment government doesn’t fund construction of housing, so that’s an entire system that needs to put in place before letting everyone in.

    Plus a bunch of other issues that I can’t even think about I imagine.

    I mean, I’m fairly liberal with immigration but I literally do not understand how it would even be possible to have completely open borders.

    What happens when 100 million people try to immigrate in less than ten years? Where would they live? Where would their children go to school?






  • Ive always loved my OnePlus phones.

    Started with a OP5, which lasted me 4 years until I upgraded to OP9, which lasted another 4 years and now I have an OP13.

    Compared to my Google and Samsung phones which both lasted less then 2 years each.

    My Google Nexus 5 was a beast which also lasted 4 years but then my first pixel shit the bed and never got another Google phone.

    My $1000 Samsung phone’s battery shit the bed within a year and the charging port wore down where it wouldn’t even charge unless it was in a very specific pressure and resting at a very specific angle.

    Never had a single issue with any of my three OP phones.
