A good discussion here, as exemplifiedin this extract:
"The migrationist vision is maddeningly short-sighted. Migrants will bankrupt the welfare state before they ever fund our pension plans, and massive changes at the bottom of society will most likely wipe out the Left as we know it – however many election cycles establishment politicians hope to win with migrant support in the meantime. In Germany, the rise of Alternative für Deutschland has caused some in the centre-Left establishment to wonder whether mass migration is such a great idea after all, but as with all policies, this one has a terrible inertia behind it. A formidable body of jurisprudence now mandates open borders and makes rejecting asylees essentially impossible. The establishment parties have filled with rabid migrationists, and they have entangled themselves with a wide array of refugee-promoting philanthropic enterprises and NGOs. Social entitlements paid to migrants have become an occasion for a new kind of self-perpetuating corruption, funding an international migrant-smuggling industry that has in turn developed its own symbiotic relationships with migration activists and politicians. It is a massive mess."
