Yeah, I know, more immigration talk. Maybe it's behavioral on my part but what the heck?It's just that I know someone very close and she's always mentioning the fact that her parents immigrated to this country. There are several reasons why people immigrate. One is a financially secured future. Doesn't matter if they reach it, just knowing the potential is there should be enough of an incentive. Along with potential a need for immigrant services must also exist.
Currently in Canada there appears to be a labor population shortage in Newfoundland province. There really isn't as there are enough unemployed able bodied persons around to do the job as a fish processor working in a fish packing plant. Not being able to fill the ranks locally, the company went looking elsewhere and believe it or not have brought in people willing to do the work from Thailand of all places.
It appears the citizens of a country that's attractive to immigrants are inadvertently or unexpectedly mailing out invitations to foreigners simply by their own inactivity or willingness to work. Somewhere along the way a line is drawn that indicates to what extent people of a nation are willing to do the things that for all intents would minimize immigration to their country. The euphoria of success is diminished by the misery of entitlement.
Call it work ethic, pride, self esteem, just plain laziness or possibly too much of a reliance on the government to sustain them but in the end the native population provides the impetus for immigration. In order for immigration to occur the citizens of the attractive country must believe that they no longer are of what they consider a low working class. I guess you could draw parallels to slavery (forced immigration) in some respects. People in these countries really don't have a leg to stand on when they complain about too many foreigners.
