In no country where austerity has been tried, and it has been tried almost everywhere, has it worked, instead it has brought economic pain.

Studies on the effect of immigration shows it either has a positive effect due to having a larger work force, creating more demand in the economy, or a very small negative effect. There is no credible evidence that immigration have any sizeable, negative effect on the economy.

this is just wrong.

Because studies done in the US where said immigration comes from mostly highly educated asians is a good example for the rest. In the UK it's obvious the GDP is going to grow with more people, but compare the GDP increase versus the GDP per capita. You also have to account for a lot of things that affect quality of life, which is DECREASING with immigration where the GDP per capita grows far less than the total GDP.

I hope you realise that a large portion of "from americas" is actually returning US citizens. If we only took the effect on the economy by mexican immigrants the numbers look horrible.
