Immigration is one of the most controversial issues these days. Whether the debate centres on economics or identity, it's often framed as 'them' (bad immigrants) against 'us' (good locals). But immigrants aren't a burden or a threat - and if we make the right choices we all can thrive together. Drawing on first-hand reporting, compelling stories and latest research and evidence from around the world, Legrain explains how immigration benefits us all in many ways. Immigrants start new businesses, bring different skills and help spark new ideas. For sure, learning to live together can be tough. The book also addresses tricky issues such as 'illegal' immigration, what immigration entails for national identity, what newcomers need to do to fit in, and how societies ought to adapt.
