Detailed study shows immigration is not making the Netherlands wealthier, nor is it benefiting the original citizens. It merely makes them minorities in an increasingly over-populated country.

Immigrants are thus neither a burden to the public purse nor are they a panacea for addressing fiscal challenges. In most countries, except in those with a large share of older migrants, migrants contribute more in taxes and social contributions than they receive in individual benefits. This means that they contribute to the financing of public infrastructure, although admittedly to a lesser extent than the native-born.

i.e. they drag down the economy.

This particular quote is hardly proof of anything. I agree that 3rd world migrants are bad, but you should focus on making better arguments for that point. From the perspective of the uninitiated this quote only means that migrants are doing the low wage jobs. That if not for the migrants the white natives would be forced to do those jobs and those white workers would be contributing the exact same tax revenue. This makes it seem that your position is unreasonable because you are inventing anti migrant arguments out of thin air. That you misunderstand the situation. This poisons the entire anti migrant message.

It is a natural expectation that immigrants will be lower class by virtue of having to start at zero. This is not a fault but a feature. Calling them poor makes you look bad. The real evidence that they are degrading the society they move into is not the first generation but the second and third. Compared to white migrants by the second and third generation there are huge discrepancies. White migrants also start at zero, however their intelligence and work ethic means that their children and grand children become productive and wealthy, while the offspring of 3rd world migrants remain leaches, increase crime, and take up space and resources away from those who would improve society.

You're going to take one statement of mine as my canon?
