I too have issues with migration. Large and rapid arrivals can strain housing, schools, public services, and social trust and we see that. Integration requires real work from newcomers and from the country receiving them and there should always be a discussion about balance and approach. It requires language, employment, schools that work, housing that is available, clear expectations.

I don’t agree with everything in this piece (somewhat translating Europe into New Zealand and the US into Australia). But I agree vastly more than with DHH’s piece.
