      Mixed bag really. Increased labour supply drives down wages, but you also need people to do all the work and we have an aging population. Also need a tax base to fund our social services.

        Immigrants also buy stuff, creating more jobs, so actually the demographic benefits are the main effect. If you think about it, there’s always one worker per worker.

        Plus, I’d like to point out immigrants are people too and their opinion matters. The debate about this gets so dehumanising.
