First, the opposition builds their case entirely on a straw-man fallacy. The motion calls for prioritization of high-skilled intake over general quotas, not the total exclusion of general migrants.
Second, the opposition's citation of the MIT entrepreneurship study actually proves the FOR case. Immigrant-led job creation is overwhelmingly concentrated in high-growth, innovation-driven sectors that depend directly on specialized human capital. High-skilled intake acts as an economic multiplier, generating the net-fiscal surplus required to fund public infrastructure, social services, and vibrant civic life.
A society cannot support culture or community builders if its core institutions collapse under fiscal deficit. Prioritizing skilled labor is not treating society like a spreadsheet; it is providing the structural prerequisite for societal prosperity.
