This is borderline racist but I’m prepared to let it go for the sake of open discussion. Immigrants are an easy target, especially rich ones, but this doesn’t take into account the jobs that are created because of the wealth they bring into the country.
And then there are the people who do the crappy, low-paid jobs that Australians won’t touch. And there’s the fact that we can’t get our new homes built because we refuse to recognise the skills and experience of overseas arrivals.
The immigration situation is far from perfect but shutting the door to new arrivals will almost immediately plunge us into higher inflation and possibly a recession. Have a read of this summary in the SMH – it contains actual facts and real figures – not kneejerk “simple solutions”.
