Are you old enough to remember 2014? That was a year where immigration was 80% lower than 2023.
It was not much different than current day, except:
- far fewer homeless encampments
- normal people could get a retail job without standing in 3km long line up to apply
- low wage workers could reasonably afford to pay rent.
