For the time being, immigration is still causing the millennial generation to increase and is the reason why US population continues to grow. So for at least the US the result is that we may not face the same problems as other developed countries or the problem of an aging population may be reduced.
It will cause the US to continue to be a nation of immigrants and the resentment that may cause.
- Andre_Wanglin 8y agoIt is disingenuous to assert that immigration de facto causes resentment instead of the source population of the immigration.
- aurailious 8y agoI am not sure how you are implying those two things can be seperate. All immigrants have a source. Throughout US history there has been waves of immigration. Where that source is has changed along with the resentment of that source. It is not from any particular source that resentment occurs, but that there is immigration from a source at all.
- Andre_Wanglin 8y agoThat view is ahistorical. Anti-immigrant sentiment has always been directed at the source of the immigration. When Chinese began immigrating in the mid-late 19th century, immigration was suddenly a problem and so we had the national origins formula which ruled until 1965.
