Immigrants, even better that their source country paid for their natal care and education rather than us
- DAGdug 2y agoThat’s fine, but if the immigrants move from the developing to the developed world, that incurs a massive increase in their carbon footprint.
- rangestransform 2y agoit's better than paying for natal care and education for a local-born child who will still have a high carbon footprint, and might also not be as productive as the immigrant
- DAGdug 2y agoAnd one could argue that: 1. Immigrants typically have higher TFRs that within years wipes out the gains you allude to 2. Productivity depends on how skilled the immigrants are; much of Europe has a large chunk of immigrants with lower productivity than the native born. Anyway, this is a low signal discussion on both sides; this is my last comment on this matter
