Very true, especially now when successful integration rates seems to be plummeting as we see 3rd generation immigrants reverting back to the anti-social behaviours that exist in the countries they come from.
Also when you consider migrants are much more likely to send money back home, you have to ask what about the costs of having workers who don't then spend that money in your own economy? How can you have these multiplication effects if the money being made isn't even re-injected?

- shard972 8y agoIt's something that is not easy to find information on due to the sensitive nature of the subject. But with just a bit of google, you can find things like this: https://www.thelocal.fr/20160109/immigrants-struggling-to-integrate-in-france https://www.thelocal.fr/20160109/immigrants-struggling-to-in... The article there seems to be saying even with 2nd generation immigrants from africa are reporting less integration as they feel more isolated from the identity than their parents and find themselves worse off economically. So if this is the case, I don't see any reasons why the 3rd generation and onwards would suddenly bounce back from their isolated and relatively poor positions on their own without more intervention from the host nation. Combine that with new waves of immigration, why wouldn't you see some of these 3rd generation ethnic africans find new identity in the africans that have just showed up?
