The paper just came out. I would assume they're posting it because it's interesting to a generally economically curious audience, and Brits in particular. No need for posting to be some targeted snipe at America.

Hopefully it leads to more investments in other places. That way the voters will eventually get what they want in a monkey’s paw way. Less immigration because the home countries get more investments and more opportunities.

The NY Times had an interesting article in the last week about Vietnam, which continues to embrace globalization, and with good results.

Do you mean it turns out America was already great (despite still having some problems) and that’s why the whole world was flocking to it. In fact, it was so great that it was sucking up potential greatness from other countries.

Is illegal immigration a problem in Vietnam?

Could you unpack your argument?

Is illegal immigration a real problem in US? It's a political issue for sure.

I would say a real problem is how current administration is fighting against immigrants at the moment.

Statistically, illegal immigrants behave better than american citizens. Less burden to the budget either as they are cut off from public services.
