How Governments Use Immigration to Boost Their Economies

Michelle Jamrisko, Jason Clenfield, Sandrine Rastello, and Matthew Bristow for Bloomberg Businessweek how governments around the world are trying to best utilize immigrants to boost their economies while carefully navigating populist nativist pressures.  The opening paragraph:

“Governments the world over are grappling with how to make immigration work for their economies without fanning political flames. Nativism helped crystallize support for Brexit in the U.K. and almost cost German Chancellor Angela Merkel a fourth term. President Trump says the U.S. immigration system is `broken’ and while some of his opponents may grudgingly agree with that, there is little common ground on how to repair it.”
