Tina's post reminded me of something that I think is often forgotten in the heated debate that surrounds immigrants, in my own country, Thailand and many others: immigrants might take a few jobs from locals, but those same immigrants generate a lot of demand and therefore a lot more jobs for a lot more people as well as boosting an entire economy that is lucky enough to have the extra labour and value creation of immigrants who want to work.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's an accident that nations such as the US, with relatively open and welcoming immigration policies, do better economically than nations that more actively restrict immigrants. And the US, Australia and others would do even better if the politicians did not listen so much to the prejudiced irrationality of many voters. Just because a policy is popular does not make it right, and certainly does not make it good for a nation - Thailand, for example, would now be a much wealthier nation if more foreign businesses could come in and if Thai citizens were free to sell their land at fairer prices because non-Thai people wanted to buy and develop it. There should of course be laws to prevent exploitation, but those laws should apply the same way to Thai people and non-Thai people. I am sure that most exploitation in most countries is done by citizens to their fellow citizens, and anti-foreign prejudice is a useful tool to enable this. (This touches on an argument that Pree and I briefly had a couple of weeks ago - Tina's post has provided a relevant opportunity for me to repeat it here for further discussion.)
I agree that business travel involves different economy sectors. For instance when one buyer comes to visit the factories of Thailand, it puts money into various sorts of companies such as transportation, hotels, restaurant industry, the retail industry among others. In addition All the international companies that are in Thailand also help to develop the Thailand economy.
