In a lot of western countries, we have declining birth rates, aging populations, and shortages of skilled workers including nurses, doctors, engineers, etc. Many refugees and asylum seekers are actually very well educated people, or seek to become so. They might be able to contribute substantially to our economies and the richness of our cultural life if we give them the chance. |
