Some thoughts on this fascinating article by
Kelsey Piper on the use of 'automatic stabilisers' in immigration policy. These thoughts are inspired by Goodhart's law. Her basic argument is elegant and draws on the literature in macroeconomics: instead of Congress

The levy on foreign students is an export tax. Has anyone in government wondered why countries don't usually impose export taxes?

accommodation carries little value, while only sharp moves generate credible differentiation. In this context, the theorem of the second best (Lipsey & Lancaster 1956) becomes relevant. If moderate adjustments are seen as opportunistic and lack credibility, then approximating the first-best strategy

These are tentative thoughts, but I want to sketch what I think is the strongest progressive case for not only baulking at accommodating the radical right on immigration, but potentially adopting an unapologetically progressive stance, even though I’m unsure all the assumptions hold.
