      Nah it’s fine, the jobs are gone anyway because China used to buy monstrous quantities of soybeans from the US, and will buy 0 in the last trimester - here’s a link from Reuters. Brazil, Argentina, Chile have ramped up their production massively to accommodate the demand.

      Since the jobs are now in other places, no point migrating to the US.

      That’s one way of solving the migration issues - nuke the economy and destroy the jobs, so people no longer come.
