My first reaction was that immigrants are not the solution.
But then, that's USA...you all are technically immigrants so whatevs, maybe it is the way.
Immigration is extremely important economically. New immigrants take jobs that average citizens wouldn't, and can provide a large low-income population base, which keeps goods and services flowing, where they could otherwise stagnate with a more settled customer base. Anyone that claims the opposite is just trying to obfuscate their racsim.
Maybe economically yeah, I rather thought culture wise where relying too much on immigrants brings it's own set of problems.
Also, I know that what you speak of is normal, but damn does it sound bad..."come to us to work for pennies in jobs we would rather not do"...
So like Japan and Korea?
Japan has a 2.29% immigrant population. Then look at their work life balance.
Korea has a 2.3% immigrant population and you can see the terrible work life balance there as well.
The US has a 14.4% immigrant population and work live balance isn't great either. As if immigrants aren't a truly massive problem that the media makes you believe.
Poland, 1,1% according to google, your point?
Both Japan and Korea have very specific cultures, and yeah, they screw their work life balance. IIRC Japan is currently working on changing that. But that's their culture - part of their nation - and flooding it with immigrants erases not only bad parts but also good ones. Hell, look at Germany that struggles with immigrants as far as I know.
The only struggles Germany has with immigrants at large is racist government officials using them as scapegoats.
What culture are you talking about? I'm not a dog, but that sounds like a whistle to me
