Hi John, I’ve been reading several studies on the benefits of immigration… and most economists say it generates wealth, with all the hardworking, hungry immigrants (though not immediately, of course!). The US of old is an example, and the richest ethnic groups there are Indians followed by Japanese according to the most recent census.
I guess immigration gives us exciting buzzy cities like New York City, Oxford’s Cowley Road, and swathes of London. Obviously, it comes at a cost, but is absolutely inevitable, I think, and maybe just looking and seeing and accepting and seeing the good is a way to deal with the dramatic changes that may be just beginning to happen.
