| JuliusHackebeil said: But apart from cultural enrichment, people also make an economic argument for immigration. How much does housing cost though, for legal and illegal immigrants? How much for food and transportation? How much for education (learning english as a start)? How much for the additional strain the NHS? How much for additional policing and a higher crime rate in general (Sweden saw a staggering increase since taking on a staggering amount of migrants)? In Germany I heard that almost half the money for the unemployed goes to migrants now. If this veritable mountain of money would go to the native population (the source of all this money), perhaps people would feel more inclined to have kids |
There is documented data that shows immigration is a good thing for economies, when controlled. The issue in Europe is immigrants from muslim background are refugees and were accepted in humanitarian way, it was not a controlled (or planned) immigration. Well-educated Immigrants are an actual very good investment, since they come in legal age for working, unlike investing in raising kids that will take 20 years until they become labour force
No amount of money is convincing people to have kids. As SvennoJ said, to convince people to have kids we will need to rework the society to see raising families as a full-time job, it's not a matter of only economic order, but also cultural. Will take a couple of decades to change how people perceive kids. Until there I see no other options other than bringing foreign-born people
We are all going to get old, and there is a gap in population in their 30~50 and kids from 0~10 years. Who will take our jobs to keep society working? We will all need doctors and nurses eventually
