I used to think like that, i.e. that only the bravest people emigrate, and that their ambition and courage would stand them in good stead in whichever country they ultimately settled. But I'm not so sure this is the case anymore. The really successful people, by and large, stay in their own countries. Those who leave are hoping for a better life, i.e. they are leaving because they can't get ahead in thier own country. Such immigrants, even where language isn't a barrier, often languish in their adopted country, encountering levels of prejudice they have been unused to and find difficult to cope with. Their lack of success in their home country often translates to even less success in their adopted one. Ask anyone with an English accent who has tried to make a go of it in Australia.







There is another type of immigrant, a vast mass of people with no hope in their host country , no skills to speak of, and certainly no language skills, moving, or planning to move, here right now. You think they won't be a burden compared to the native born population?

Information Daily is more worried about the unmployment which is rising - long term unemployment :

The TUC has analysed official government unemployment figures and found that 149 out of the 232 local authorities in the UK have become areas of mass long-term unemployment.

This means that nearly two out of three local authorities in the UK have over 1,000 people who are claiming dole money for at least a year. The TUC also found that over 250,000 16-24 year olds have been unemployed for more than a year.'

I know of only one individual who has stuck it out down under and made a success of it. He has a relatively nice property and nice lifestyle but he isn't any more wealthy than he probably would have been here.

I personally know three others who tried it but "gave up" and came home because of the prejudice issues and difficulty with employment once their original sponsor jobs "disappeared". They loved it there but just couldn't make it work (they say).

I think there is some truth in you last point, perhaps not all but significant proportion will be at some point.

UK unemployment falls as private sector jobs hit all-time high

Public sector pay roll shrinks to lowest level in a decade – but there are more private sector jobs than ever before, ONS says

The private sector is more than taking up the slack caused by public sector redundancies despite the UK's biggest customer, the rest of the EU, being in all sorts of trouble. Bad news for left wing ideologues but good news for everyone else.
