This is also what Canada did- maintaining high immigration levels by focusing on more professional immigrants. That was until the housing crisis, decreasing immigrant quality (more refugees and international students), and the stagnating economy turned Canadians against Trudeau’s ever-increasing immigration targets. This also explains why the UK wants to stop illegal immigration. It’s as much the number as the composition.

@xDomglmao They’re spending money, but not adding value via their labour. So prices for everything increase, especially housing.

@GonzoTehGreat You’ve proven my point. They don’t add money to the economy via their labour, they do it via their spending. They’re not helping the healthcare system function, or fixing pipes by being tradesmen, and thus plugging gaps in the skilled labour market. Usually, immigrants add money to the economy on both ends (working and spending.) Also, many popular tourist sites (eg. Venice) have visitor number control measures too.

The people who voted Brexit were generally lower-class. So they’re pretty happy by that arrangement. 😂
