In the future, could you add the slideshows the speakers are talking about? They are very interesting conferences but some content escapes if I can´t see the graphics. Thanks.
+Santiago Perman true that, in fact speakers refer a lot to the graphs ,but we cant see those in the video,kind off defeats the purpose of the whole presentation !!
Labor cost goes down. -X income to workers, those workers reduce their demand by X, consumer buys all goods and has X more demand because of savings and then spends X back into the market generating X more demand. This is a net 0 exchange at best that is simply a redistribution from workers to consumers and then up to the consumer as to where it goes. This however assumes that the savings in labor is given as reduction of cost in full. Any additional profits is a redistribution of that loss of income of the worker up the economic ladder to the top.
So when counting immigrants do children born in the UK to immigrant parents count as immigrants or as UK citizens ? That alone could account for a doubling of the statistic. It is unlikely that immigrants are evenly distributed and that distribution will impact the perception, In the US the African American population is roughly 12 %, in my state its 18% and in the city its over 50% so if you asked some one here and they based that answer on their experience they could give 4 times the actual rate and be technically wrong about the US but correct in assessing the immediate population.
macroeconomics? more like little Britain. heavy parochial blinkers on here and missing the key skilled/non-skilled regional placement policies resulting in such: Mr Jens Erik Ohrt worker-representative on the Committee on Freedom of Association brought a complaint under article 26 of the ILO Constitution against the Government of Qatar for widespread and systemic violation of the Forced Labour Convention, saying: "There is no question that the nearly 1.5 million migrant workers in Qatar are today subject to a state system that facilitates forced labour, a fact that has been confirmed recently by: the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants; the ILO supervisory system; human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International; and major media outlets around the world. ...The labour inspection system is inadequate for the enormity of the problem, and workers have no effective access to a complaints system that provides justice when their rights are violated. Indeed, workers are dying at an alarming rate in Qatar, trapped and without any right to associate and defend their own interests." - Minutes from the International Labour Conference, Geneva, June 2014."

He doesn't answer the question about the social costs of immigration.
