In a rebuke of the neo-liberal orthodoxy which has dominated both major political parties in Britain, a study has found that mass migration has not actually stimulated the economy and has been a major drag on public services and the housing sector. A report from the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) and co-authored by former immigration minister Robert Jenrick finds record levels of immigration imposed upon the country by the so-called Conservative Party — despite promising the public to reduce the influx of foreigners following Brexit — has not been correlated with an increase to economic growth per capita.

" . . . a study has found that mass migration has not actually stimulated the economy and has been a major drag on public services and the housing sector". I don't have a PHD in anything (except common sense) and I could have told you that. We are being screwed by so many people in so many different ways I no longer know which end is up.

So unplanned, uncontrolled mass migration of people that only want to move their little Hades on earth to another location isn't all that great. Guess nobody saw that one a coming.

I love it when the common man on the street prevails in intelligence and the ability to predict the future when the government and smarmy academia go so ridiculously wrong. With the Biden administration we have a lot about which to gloat.

Bringing in large numbers of marginally qualified workers is only going to be a net drain on a society that is highly socialized. If the government is obligated to take care of everyone, then everybody that comes into the country is another obligation. The only way to offset this somewhat is to bring in top tier people that have big earnings and can foment new economic activities and pay taxes. Indeed, that is home immigration is supposed to work; only qualified and self sufficient people can come into the country.
The whole idea behind "mass migration improving the economy" is so stupid you KNOW there is another reason for doing it. I wonder what that is? Undermining the government? Big payoffs?

In the late 90’s I read “Alien Nation” by Peter Brimelow. He saw the illegal alien invasion coming.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Brimelow is a white nationalist. As with the NYTimes, if the SPLC says something, it must be true. Right? /sar

Excuse the second post. FTA —- “In 2017, former Chancellor of the Exchequer and former right-hand man to David Cameron, George Osbourne admitted that the party (conservative) leadership never actually had any intention of trying to meet the (reduce migration) goal, with party leadership then and now holding the belief that mass migration was economically necessary.”
I believe many prominent GOP politicians who talk about “border security” are also disingenuous.

They do drive economic growth...in the countries they left. Fewer criminals, fewer parasites, fewer people to compete for food and housing. And WE, get the reverse. All part of the plan.

The narrative was a lie from the start. No one believed the narrative. So - what is the REAL reason behind support for mass migration? Replacement of White people? Ending Christianity and Western Civilization? All of the above?
