    Immigration isn’t a huge deal. It’s a completely manageable concept that’s held up as this bogeyman in rich countries like Canada, the US, and the UK. The people holding up the bogeyman benefit from a disenfranchised underclass that can’t amass wealth or power due to the precarious nature of their existence in that rich country.

      Exactly this. In my real life I do a lot of work with recent immigrants and when there is a reasonable system in place, there are very few issues. Having NO system for immigration is the root of the worst of the problems IMHO.
