I wonder how much of the global north productivity is the result of immigrants from the global south. Every level I've worked at, from being paid cash for physical labor to salaried bullshit office work, other immigrants were always better workers than Americans.

I feel like when it comes to white collar work the difference between immigrants and non immigrants is actually slim.

If you're working a desk job in America, how is it different from a desk job in any other country?

Also, what about immigrants from the global north?

To where, other global north countries? Immigration from the west to the global south is far overshadowed by its inverse, therefore negligible.
