One of the distinctive factors of a trade issue is immigration. There are countries that have open visas for all travellers. With a passport from Singapore, you can travel almost anywhere in the world without question.

So what is the benefit of this and why would somebody want to stop immigration or curb it?

The most recent dominant example of stopping immigration has been the wedge issue applied in Australian politics. Vocally illustrated to create a wedge in society, it was implemented as an anti-immigrant, anti-outsider movement by particular political parties. The reasons given is usually rights moving more in favour of the person who has lived in the country longer or, who has parents and parents of parents in the country.

In some cases, we can say this is understandable because anybody would want security but here is the crux and the main facet of this post. Isn’t it the government’s job to create a fiscal policy that looks after every individual?

What we find when this issue arises, is political parties begin to blame the previous government for problems. Then immigration becomes an issue so everybody starts blaming something, even immigrants for the problem.

Now I could start talking about this at length which has been done everywhere but the main factor that comes about is, finding something to blame or finding a reason for problems in society. My personal view is, parts of a country look crowded and we get trapped in queues a lot. That might sound crazy and I guess a different opinion would feel that way but it is about the illusions derived from many factors that add to our reasons.

Illusions create reasons.

So I stated two things above, it is up to the government to create policies to look after citizens and politics or even the media creates bias against somebody to blame.

Do we need immigrants? I’ll put it another way. Do we stop communicating with the rest of the world? Can we make use of another human being?

The country right now can cope with immigration and immigration is a common aid to the country. Some of the major services, the most important factors of the country that make the country work and are integral to defining what a country is, through care and help have a high immigrant employment rate. There are many statistics available showing how immigrants add to the fabric of society.

Now, we could say, what causes the problem but then we will ask, if there is a problem, why isn’t a government investing in those areas. Is it difficult to allow investment in terms of the production of goods and services in a well developed country? There are modern, skilled businesses in every corner of the UK and in every town so why isn’t more investment applied in these areas. Those are areas I will address at a later stage.

What can be defined by placing all the factors above together, of a well developed skilled economy with skilled migrants working in every area of modern technology and services is, we can grow and prosper and diversity, importantly diversity and innovate by using any individual, no matter who they are.
