    ‘Net zero immigration’ - dystopian, unworkable, self-destructive

    And repurposing the term “net zero” to drain it of meaning.

      I don’t even understand how net zero immigration would even work. If you are of the mindset and you wish to deport someone you deport them right away, you don’t wait until someone else comes in.

      In fairness. “net zero” has a precise but pimited meaning. If anything using “net zero” as shorthand for “zero net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide” is deficient in the first place. It’s snappy and (reasonably) clear but very easy to twist or repurpose or reframe.
