Not actually true. UK is considering offering citizenship to 3 million HK citizens. So it’s really not about immigration in general, but the kind of immigrants (e.g. “immigrans taking our jobs” or “importing terrorists”).
- imtringued 6y agoHow are 3 million HK citizens not going to be "immigrants taking our jobs"? When you are thinking about something like the economical impact of immigration then lower numbers always mean lower impact.
- tomp 6y agoThere’s a big difference between immigrants that are willing to take low-paid jobs for even less money than the least educated locals (such as construction, fruit picking, ...), vs immigrants that are highly educated and can contribute to the society in novel ways (e.g. by performing research, invention, entrepreneurship, ...). People more frequently oppose the former.
