As countries on both sides of the Atlantic ramp up deportations of undocumented migrants, Spain’s left-wing government is preparing to give legal status to hundreds of thousands of irregular workers. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has championed the amnesty as a way to not only give informal workers legal protections, but to also bring more money into a social security system increasingly under stress by the country’s ageing population.
Hi. Thanks for bringing the data. I found this source that talks about low skilled immigrants impact reanalysed in US but might extrapolate to other cases. Suggests that they are actually a net positive but of course it is debatable. That said, it is quite sad that nationalism and individualism became so standard around the west. Africa and Latin America have historically been the backyard to do what the imperial west pleases for ages. A bit of solidarity does not hurt, and the impact on quality of life that this has for immigrants is never considered in the total positive, just “the economy”. We’re worse off bc of super rich parasites. Let’s stop this reverse robin hood.
I bring the data saying some countries bring immigrants who represent a net loss
Then you say the study you read “suggests” the opposite is true.
And while I repeatedly said first gen immigrants (from years and years ago), have way better statistics, not discriminating them by their race, you still point me out as using this data to discriminate. I specially pointed out latin americans have integrated really well in the country, getting almost to the same stats as locals, which is awesome, and I think immigration is good if that people integrate and assimilate, otherwise it just isn’t working man. Doesn’t have anything to do with nationalism individualism or anythingism, just logic and being fair.
