MASS MIGRATION IS MAKING US POORER IN EVERY WAY – FARAGE

Nigel Farage has said mass migration is making the country poorer ‘in every single way’.

Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said:

“Those of us that are slightly older remember when GDP growth was 2.5% to 3% every year and the world seemed fine.
“Now there is virtually no GDP growth whatsoever. The figures we got out today for the last quarter were utterly miserable, showing growth of 0.1%.
“But the really interesting thing is, what is GDP per capita? What is wealth? How do we measure it by the individual? And once again, it was down.
“Since the fourth quarter of 2022 GDP per capita has increased in two quarters, but fallen in six.
“We are getting poorer. And yet, it seems to me, the only way we get any GDP growth at all is through mass migration.
“Why? Because there are more people. So the economy is that little bit bigger, and that’s what GDP measures. It measures the size overall of the productive economy.
“I think it’s becoming clearer that mass migration is making us poorer as a country in every way.
“Interestingly, since the mass migration experiment began, productivity has fallen as well.
“And I remember for so many years, people said, look, Nigel, you may be right. You may have your concerns about population growth, you may have your concerns about cultural integration, but hey, they’re all coming into work. It’s good for the economy. So why don’t you shut up and order another pint.
“Actually, what we’ve learned is that the vast majority of those that have been coming in the last few years don’t work at all, and those that do, if they’re in low skill jobs overall, are going to cost the economy in the long run.”
