What do we really know about immigration?Immigration is one of the
most controversial issues these days. Keeping them out. Taking back
control.Building that wall. Whether the debate centres on economics
or identity, it is often framed as 'Them' (bad immigrants) against
'Us' (good locals). But immigrants aren't a burden or a threat -
and if we make the right choices we all can thrive together.Drawing
on first-hand reporting, compelling stories and the latest research
and evidence from around the world, Philippe Legrain explains how
immigration benefits us all in many ways. Immigrants start new
businesses, bring different skills and help spark valuable new
ideas. They help save lives - including Boris Johnson's.As key
workers, they keep coronavirus-stricken societies going, while
young newcomers care - and help pay - for our ageing population.
For sure, learning to live together can be tough. The book also
addresses tricky issues such as 'illegal' immigration, what
immigration entails for national identity, what newcomers need to
do to fit in, and how societies ought to adapt.And it suggests new
ideas for how to persuade moderate sceptics about the merits of
immigration. If patriotism means wanting the best for your country,
we should be welcoming immigrants with open arms. It is time to
close the gap between myth and reality - and, in the process, close
the gap between 'Them' and 'Us'.
