| Business think tank: Double the immigration rate |
| 2015-01-30 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna A leading Finnish think tank is calling for a doubling of immigration to meet the country's employment needs. The pro-business EVA warns that employment will remain low unless there is a strong influx of workers from abroad. ...Over the past quarter-century, they say, the number of individuals working in Finland has basically remained the same – only growing by some 2,000 while the population has soared by some half a million. And as the recession has brought a loss of 100,000 jobs, this adds up to an impossible equation, says EVA. |

| #4 Rents are the main reason immigration is subsidised. The establishment collect the subsidies via increased rents even if the immigrants dilute GDP per head. Lower wages costs falling on the middle and lower classes is just a "bonus" |

| #3 Employment will remain low with immigration? What is the point of having the natives unemployed and the immigrants with jobs? Control. |

| #1 Supply/Demand. Over supply and the price drops. Under supply and the price rises. Labor is no different. Why to you think unions want 'closed shop'? /rhet question. Same applies to the money supply. If you dump a quadrillion dollars into the system without backing, the money devalues (see-inflation). Restrict new money and existing money retains value. A leading Finnish think tank is calling for a doubling of immigration to meet the country's employment needs. Probably cheaper if we provide some Central Americans free air tickets to Helsinki from San Jose than to subsidize them here. |
