These examples are from Denmark and Japan, but they are true pretty much everywhere.
Denmark actually did the math on mass migration, and the results are brutal
Their Ministry of Finance counted every tax paid and every public expense for every resident, broken down by where they came from and how old they are
Immigrants from the Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Turkey cost the state about $11,000 PER PERSON every single year. Western immigrants pay in about $7,800 more than they take
The first group is a net cost at EVERY age of their life
“The economy needs migration” is one of the biggest lies ever sold to the West
Note that the descendants of immigrants are even worse than the immigrants themselves.
And Japan, which supposedly so desperately “needs immigrants” in order to support its pension plan, quite clearly doesn’t.
Only 55.0 percent of foreign residents in Japan paid into the country’s national pension in fiscal 2023, lagging behind the overall rate of 85.6 percent, according to recent health ministry data. All residents aged 20 to 59 are required to pay into the country’s pension scheme regardless of nationality.
They’re not going to fix their inverted pension scheme by importing a bunch of people who aren’t going to pay into it.
“Immigration is good for the economy” is almost certainly one of the biggest lies of the 20th century. Neither the logic nor the evidence supports it, and yet people are still repeating it mindlessly ad infinitum.
