    Out of curiosity, do these results only concern themselves with first-generation migrants? I’m not sifting through 200 pages to find an answer, but it’s important to distinguish. Countries are aware that taking in low wage earning migrants from developing countries has an initial expense. Those costs are mitigated by the lack of money spent on that migrant’s childhood and by the eventual productivity of their children and future generations.

    Interesting - now it’s expected to have an initial expense.

    Cool that you agree.

    We all have an initial expense to the government. Literally needing the government to exist in the first place assumes some sort of cost, and the little tiny humans you want us to have more of aren’t contributing much to the GDP.

    Whole families in the millions of third world migrants are a much higher expense and degrade systems that are needed to run the country. End of discussion and any policy that leaves the door open to this is one that will doom the country.

    The press covers whatever is most sensational. There was a ton of coverage of the French case involving the man who arranged for gang rapes of his unconscious wife. But it didn't titillate in the right way for some of the posters around here.
