If you’ve ever faced anti-migrant rhetoric, you’ll be grateful for this carefully compiled, insightful work. It will arm you with the facts, statistics and historical precedents to push back. It is a persuasive, evidence-based assertion of the hugely positive role migrants make around the world.
It is also a plea for common sense. Plummeting birthrates and ageing populations mean developed countries are in dire need of workers. Instead of surreptitiously allowing migration while simultaneously decrying it and promising to ‘bring down the numbers’, wouldn’t it be better to integrate migrants, highlight their contributions and harness their energies? The world needs migrants, so let’s be honest about it and stop creating ill-feeling for the sake of cheap votes.
After migrating to the UK as a teenager, Dinesh Dhamija contributed millions of pounds to the UK economy. He founded the pioneering travel website ebookers.com, employed thousands of people and helped to transform an industry. He went on to serve as a Member of the European Parliament and now funds charitable foundations in the UK and India.
This is his third book.
