On World Refugee Day, Gerry Chidiac argues that countries that open their doors to the world are building a better future.
For numerous reasons, the global population is projected to begin declining in the next century. Most experts see this as a good thing, as it will relieve pressure on the environment and global resources.
The obvious solution is immigration. Contrary to the beliefs of many, immigration strengthens the economy of a country. Immigrants tend to be young workers who have families. They buy products, pay taxes, and encourage their children to get a good education. A viable argument can be made, of course, that refugees are not the most ideal immigrants. All countries would like to have the luxury of Canada where we attract our immigrants to suit the needs of our economy. Unfortunately, there are currently 108.4 million forcibly displaced persons in the world, of whom 35.3 million meet the legal definition of refugee.
