So what do you actually believe? You never even made clear what kind of immigration you think has a positive economic impact on the host country, or do you believe all groups of immigrants have a positive economic impact like only the most extreme and brainwashed leftists believe?
The bulk of academic studies is on my side and I also know the counterarguments from the left. Do you know them? I am just trying to figure out how clueless you are.
References are given in Tino Sanandajis book, but I won't look for online links to them unless I have to, instead here is a chart from a Danish government sponsored study on the net costs of immigrants.
Fig 1.3: Cost by age, dark blue native Danish, light blue western immigrants, red non western immigrants. At no age group are non western immigrants a net positive to the Danish economy.
Fig 1.4: Light blue adjusts for age demographics, dark blue does not, the last two categories show the net cost for non-western and second generation non immigrants per year in thousands of danish crowns.
