Sir, yes of course “Migrants mean money”, July 31, but they also mean so much more and do not belittle it. By being able to attract that kind of entrepreneurship, drive to move forward, restlessness, non-conformity and so much more that is embedded in the migrant spirit, aging societies are able to get that vitamin they need in order to keep up with a world that does not stop just because you might be happy where you are. Anyone that pushes away migrants or just wants to accept “adequate” migrants, with PhDs, do so at their own peril, since standing still you will just fall back.
