Why would we need new infrastructure? We've had high immigration rates in the past, we could just do that again.

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Think about it... housing, medical care, transportation. These need to keep up with population growth. If growth is achieved through immigration, then you need infrastructure to support more people. I'm in Canada, immigration has been seen as a positive thing for a long time, but there is a resource squeeze right now and increasing immigration is seen as adding fuel to the fire.

We are trying to address those issues, but it would have been a lot better to put infrastructure in place before aiming to increase the population size.

I don't realy see how it's more expensive to keep a few immigrants alive, who are willing to work and often already have good education, than raising and educating a child for years to come.
