That's because nobody with your standpoint ever has any evidence to support those claims.

Also South Korea (and Japan for example) need to do something about their aging population. Investing in educating migrants is a whole lot better than destroying your economy because you can't pay pensions and don't have enough workers to keep your industry afloat.




while on the other hand, you have evidence to support that immigration is beneficial ? the correlation between growth and immigration is because immigrants flock to affluent countries that are on the way up. correlation, not causation.
