Britons have suffered a slump in living standards, official data shows, as a surge in net migration wiped out any gains from economic growth.
So-called real GDP per head shrank by 0.3pc between April and June compared with a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, suggesting living standards have slid backwards as the population grew.
Every industrialized country with a generous welfare state is coming to the reality that immigration is doing more harm that good.
It’s literally hopeless discussing immigration with libs as that term along with “multiculturalism” and “diversity” has become sacrosanct components of their ideology. The consequences of having an open border are essentially irrelevant as their belief in the efficacy of big government to bring about a better life for all is also a fundamental component of that ideology as well, evidence be dammed:
In the last two years, the migrant population in Pittsburgh has soared by 2,000%, and now it’s reaching crisis levels.
According to a Sept. 15 segment aired by CBS Pittsburgh, Charleroi – a borough nested along the Monongahela River – has been especially impacted by this influx. Schools are overstrained. Local stores are seeing less business because of crime concerns. And residents are watching their culture vanish before their eyes.
This isn’t an accident. Since 2021, the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies have allowed the entry of millions of inadmissible aliens at a completely unsustainable rate.
And I’m sure you noticed, he responded by accusing me of comparing those people to mud rather than addressing the point. They always deflect when they can’t rebut.
The thrust of this thread has been about the ECONOMIC and SOCIAL (strains on hospitals, schools, housing, etc.) impact of immigration in various industrialized countries with high costs if living. And the only response from those on the Left here is RACISM, RACISTS, RACISM, RACISTS, AHHHHH!
