The real pity is, I believe allowing this type of immigration would actually create more jobs than it would displace.

Uber, for example, has more operational employees than engineers, and creates many more jobs for drivers.

These are the jobs of the next generation, and if they aren't created here, they'll simply be created elsewhere. So even if you buy the fundamental assertion of the anti immigration argument, I still consider it deeply flawed.

Of course, major lobbying industries probably would be displaced with a stronger tech industry. I wonder if this is a factor in the current immigration climate?
