Population growth as an economic driver is the most ponzi of all ponzi schemes.
Non-European immigrants to the UK are far more likely to be long-term unemployed or economically inactive, especially those from the Middle East, South Asia & North Africa. In England & Wales, 27% of working age immigrants from the Middle East have never worked. That is more than 5x the figure for the native-born (5%).
In total there are 707,000 working age immigrants who have never worked, 1.2% of the entire population of England & Wales. All of these figures exclude students.
How were so many duped into believing that the key to economic success was mass unskilled immigration from the third world?
