Anyway, even if immigrants make a net contribution - so what?
is continued economic 'growth' sustainable or in fact desirable?
I think the whole argument that we need continued economic growth is pretty poor in view of the situation of the world and resources.
Net zero growth, or even negative growth (shrinkage) in line with net zero population change or decline is more desirable, IMHO.
The only 'excuse' for the need for continuing economic growth is to pay for future expense - i.e. pensions, or to cover national debt incurred.
