CarolC, your point against economic migration is completely different in sentiment and content to the originator of this thread (WAV). Your point there shows a specific example where certain unfavourable conditions have led to migration, in turn creating further problems for all. What WAV is arguing is that economic migration is bad because cultures cannot and should not mix. The two sentiments are very different.

I am not pro-immigration as such, but when I see what I see as racist motivations behind an anti immigration policy or argument, I have to point it out for what it is!
