Why Australia should be talking migration at the G20 : Comments

By Carla Wilshire, published 1/8/2014

People movement has now become one of the most powerful tools for development and a significant player in global growth. Fueling this age of migration is the reciprocal benefit for both sending and receiving countries.

Curious that in quickly scrolling down I could not find any mention of how developing countries benefit when we seek out their most skilled immigrants. I would have thought that it was immoral.
I wouldn't repeat all the arguments about excessive immigration. For those of you that want less, write Reduce Immigration on your ballot papers, Federal, State and municipal council. Your vote is perfectly legal and you can then fill in the numbers for your preferred party.

That is actually a good topic or issue to raise at the G20 meeting. Economically rich countries pilfering trained people from poor countries.

It is the hugely immoral pilfering of resources from poor countries.

The excuse is that taking in trained immigrants from a poor country makes a rich country even richer. But if this is true, then it must also make the poor country even poorer.

Those who favour overpopulation and mass immigration don’t seem to want to mention that.

While countries such as the US spend almost $9000 per person on health spending each year, a country such as Sierra Leone spends about $95.

So a poor country could spend its very limited resources on training a doctor or a nurse, and then a country such as Australia takes that doctor or nurse.
