Based on what data?
The immigration we're talking about, the one of Africans etc. immigrants flooding west, is destructive to the economies based on pretty much every statistic I've seen.
Those immigrants are on welfare in disproportional numbers compared to native population.
E.g. in US 72% Somalis are on welfare and the same stats are in West Europe.
They cost the state gigantic amount of money.
And per-capita crime stats are so bad that governments are hiding them from public.
This is all documented by government's own statistics and reasonably well reported.
Immigration COULD be a net positive to the economy IF it was managed properly but it isn't and it isn't.
Tourism isn't immigration and I don't see what trade has to do with it.
- breakyerself 8mo ago> 72% Somalis are on welfare and the same stats are in West Europe. This is bullshit. Donald Trump isn't a credible source on statistics about immigration. The highest percentage I can find for food stamps is 54% and a high percentage of food stamps recipients are employed. https://cis.org/Report/Somali-Immigrants-Minnesota?utm_source=perplexity https://cis.org/Report/Somali-Immigrants-Minnesota?utm_sourc... Asylum seekers in the US are a net positive source of revenue. They also create jobs and drive economic growth. https://aspe.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/28fe4e756499bdab08b4e6cb3b952e22/aspe-report-refugee-fiscal-impact.pdf?utm_source=perplexity https://aspe.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/documents/28fe4e756...

- breakyerself 8mo ago54 is lower than 72 and only a fraction of people receiving food benefits receive additional benefits that would qualify them as being on "welfare" 2/3 of natural born US citizens will live in a household that receives food assistance at some point in their lives. 60-75% of Somolis are working. So there's a good percentage there that are working and paying taxes, but need some extra assistance. I don't see a lot of fake news/statistics going around about white immigrants to the US. Funny how it's all Somolis and Hatians that are stuck being smeared by misinformation. What could that be about.
