There have been many fiscal studies about the effect of migration. Many would suggest migration has a positive effect, some would suggest a short term positive effect with a negligible long term effect, and there will be some who come to a small negative effect. I don’t think any would come to the conclusion that migration is the major factor behind the negative changes to our economy over the last 70 years, but Mr Scorpion doesn’t give credence to data or facts. Blaming immigrants is always an easy target, rather the ever increasing discrepancy between the top 1% and the bottom 50% – because changing the latter would require the politicians to make some unpopular decisions amongst their peers. Better to blame it on foreigners.
