If you believe that you’re way too far gone.

The entire reason that they say that is because there will be “less workers to build houses” lol. It’s based on the ridiculous and false idea that all these immigrants we’re bringing in are building houses, which they aren’t because we’ve brought them in in record numbers yet houses aren’t being built at record numbers, are they?

Also you ignored all this from the article didn’t you? Why is that?

On the other hand, a smaller labour force means employers have to compete harder to attract workers.

That means wages would be 7.5% higher after 10 years of no migration, and the unemployment rate would be 0.2 percentage points lower than the base case.
