Pensions and taxes are the main reasons governments want immigrants because without more people paying in they can’t pay out (without highly unpopular moves like additionally heavily taxing retirees, consumers and businesses) As mentioned elsewhere, there are a lot of jobs that 3rd+ generation people won’t do, at least for minimum wage. It’s been proven time and again that migrants are more law abiding and less violent, pay more in taxes than they extract, plus have on average a better work ethic. They also tend to be over qualified for the jobs they accept. The reasons against almost always come down to racism and “replacement” fears. It’s funny how in Canada we never faced any suspicion despite our obviously non Canadian accent. Strange huh?

>Pensions and taxes are the main reasons governments want immigrants Except, if they can't get jobs, both of these don't happen. >As mentioned elsewhere, there are a lot of jobs that 3rd+ generation people won’t do, at least for minimum wage. For sure. And, a lot of second and third generations, are integrated, and are highly educated, but still carry a work ethic. Fourth generation, not so much... >The reasons against almost always come down to racism and “replacement” fears. This is the current argument for sure. >It’s funny how in Canada we never faced any suspicion despite our obviously non Canadian accent. Strange huh? Not sure how long you have been there, but has it changed over time?

We were there 12 years but had to return to England after my dad passed away and then my mother in law right after. I was born in Canada, my wife had to immigrate there and then passed her citizenship. All the time we were there we were accepted, though people didn’t always understand our Yorkshire accents (they often thought we were Scottish)
