And how exactly have the EU and the US lost out on economic side due to immigration into them? You do remember that US is a land of immigrants right?
You should read the issues of UK, US and also of the North Africans moving into Europe in detail and you will realise the problems. Even historically, Europe has been having problems with the Roma people. Of course, the US is a land of immigrants, but have you realised how divide the Americans are on the Mexican and Spanish immigrants?
Of course it causes economic hardships, because of their useless welfare programs and NHS nonsense, which provide doles for the unemployed. India is not that crazy(yet) in the subsidies department and so immigration into India wont have so much hardship on India.
It is because you have no idea about the NHS that you condemn it as nonsense. Even Obamacare is aimed to help the poor. So, if these rich countries realise that unless they keep their people in fine trim, to include the poor. then I wonder what makes you go overboard with everything handed over to the private sector. Are you aware that half the operations that the private sector hospitals do, are actually not required? And do you know how much it costs? It is all very well to talk from the high horse, but when it will strike you, you will realise where the penny pinches and where the shoe hurts.
Also, the moment India starts to give welfare to its citizens and noncitizens, it will make immigration a net negative for the economy of India.
Your view and not an universal view.
Watch this video if you want to understand how immigration affects a welfare and a non welfare state. Only then you will understand what I am saying:
Heard he said that 'It would flood us with immigrants from India'? It is the real reason. Racial disparity and the loss of power of the white citizens as has already been experienced because a Black could win to become a President!
And he says, then the US will be driven to bare consistence level. How come such a thought was not there when the Irish, Poles and Italians landed penniless in the US?
Free immigration to jobs and no free immigration to welfare says the man. What welfare is there in the US, may I ask? Who says that if you don't work in the US you can live, if that were the case, then they would not have coined the pharase 0
there is nothing called a free lunch.
The speaker is merely soft soaping to present the white American view. The basic issue is that the immigrants changes the demographic equation of the WASP and others and that is a danger to those who have ruled the USA ever since their birth.
He is complain about the illegal Mexicans. But are you aware that the very parts where the illegals are entering are actually parts of Mexico at one time.
Area Mexico ceded to the United States in 1848, minus Texan claims. The Mexican Cession consist of present day U.S. states of California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, about half of New Mexico, about a quarter of Colorado, and a small section of Wyoming.
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 is what is shown above, but not the part of the areas east of the Rio Grande which had been claimed by the Republic, The Texas annexation resolution two years earlier had not specified Texas's southern and western boundary. The Mexican Cession was the second largest acquisition of territory in the US history of 520,000 sq. miles
Socio poltical issues are due to religion AND culture
If that was the case, then why are the Britons complaining about the Poles, Romanians etc who have come to work in the UK?
Towns in the UK are 'swamped' by EU migrants, Cabinet minister warns
Michael Fallon, the Defence Secretary, says that communities in the UK are "under siege" from European Union migrants as he says the Tories will unveil a series of policies to "restrain" the number of foreign workers in Britain
Towns in the UK are 'swamped' by EU migrants, Cabinet minister warns - Telegraph
[quoe]But, I pinpointed Religion alone wrt India and Bangladesh, because Bangladeshis are the "same culture" as the Indians(West Bengalis to be specific enough) and so differ only on the religion wrt Indians. So the socio political issue with their immigration is limited to religion alone and not the cultural one.[/quote]
Culture maybe so but then where is the issue of religion? Aren't there a large Muslim population in West Bengal and have they not lived peaceably since Independence? Do we have had riots like elsewhere in India where the Hindu and Muslim are also culturally the same? Therefore, the point that the socio political issue of immigration is religion based is not valid. It is based on the view that once the Indian Muslims got their country based on religion and broke up the entity of India, then they cannot come into India because they divided India for their own convenience and now they cannot come in to usurp the territory that they had abandoned.. Simple as that.
But, wrt Britain, immigrations from other areas of EU will be from different "culture groups" and hence will cause cultural issues to be predominant in the socio-political problems. Of course, they would much more happily allow EU christian into their country than a Muslim Paki(where there is both cultural and religious difference) , all other thing being the same.
So, culture affinity is OK for India (as you have mentioned above), but when it comes to Europe, it becomes a cultural issue!
Can't have your cake and eat it too.
