Americans like to extrapolate the impact of unchecked immigration through their own lack of knowledge on the subject and political bias driven by fear mongering the last few yrs. They use real low quality statistics driven by eugenics propagandists with horrible bias while ignoring decent outlets putting out numbers. Much like in American, I suspect the immigration issue is personal annoyance rather than substantive. Places like Germany which would be the most affected, are doing OK.
Take the absolute worst, most unreliable stats being hailed by Breitbarters and pumped by CIS/FAIR; they put the cost of immigration at 116 billion. That's a drop in the bucket to what COVID will cost us in corporate welfare (we've printed what 6 trillion already)?
Immigrants are a cheap shot and low energy scapegoat.
