They steal jobs, drive down wages, don’t contribute to society, cost the country money, send money out of the country and they are only here for the benefits are all arguments used by xenophobics but they are all FALSE! Immigrants fill skill and labour gaps, drive up wages because they spend their wages, pay tax (About $11 billion in the U.S), rent and insurance and are unable to get most benefits. However, despite the fact that these true facts of immigrants are widely available, the myths and stereotypes are still used by people like Donald Trump to exploit people’s fear of immigrants to get a political foothold and to fan racial hatred across the United States. A real problem for the United States and Mexico is people smuggling which means the transportation of people through several countries illegally.

This mean that more and more people will be over 65 not working and therefore require more retirement benefits (Superannuation, Supergold card, Pensions). That will cause a shortage of workers who pay tax to support the old population. Imagine your father or your mother being denied retirement benefits that they have worked their whole life and payed tax for because the country can’t support the aging population To counter this countries like New Zealand could create incentives for immigrants to work and live in New Zealand by encouraging more immigrants to enter the live here, thus supporting the old
