Net benefit to the economy does not mean net benefit to everyone individually. That's one reason that made people at the lower end of the payscale vote for Brexit: Immigration keeps wages low. We're also seeing it since Covid: immigration keeps the GDP (barely) growing while the GDP per capita is decreasing. The cost is wholesale destruction of local culture, too. London is a city in England but no longer really an English city, for example. |
