The issue for governments is that they like to show GDP with and the only way to do that is through immigration. So we end up pumping the Ponzi once again as everything gets more and more crowded, productivity goes through the floor and infrastructure crumbles.
Immigration is a Jedi mind trick played on gullible citizens.
It isn't the biggest issue though, is it?
But let's just pretend the challenges of working age population decline with an ever ageing demographic don't exist and magically everyone will have better services and housing. It's a fantasy.
