And I would rather pay that and more to do so. Integrating people rather than trying to send them away is more humane and better for our society. We need immigration, the breadth of culture here is a massive positive and makes this a great country. The cost argument for restricting immigration is absolutely insane, we end up spending so much more on getting rid of people than we would just taking them in.
