Can you explain this? Its hard for me to imagine how letting someone through a border could cost more than providing healthcare and education to an individual for 18+ years.
If a government really wants the increase the tax base, how could you possibly find a better ROI than letting skilled working age people immigrate?
- zozbot234 7y agoIt's not easy to establish any single country as a preferred destination for skilled, working-age folks with pro-social, modern cultural values (as opposed to Third-World $#!+hole ones). It requires very high standards of good government, low corruption, strong economic growth etc. Canada can achieve this with relative ease, as can (potentially) other Anglosphere countries. Northern European countries as well, with their "socialism w/ Scandinavian characteristics". Other places, it's very much a crapshoot. But if you can just make more people, you're set even if your country has terrible policies.
