Very short article at the link. UK "conservative" Johnson would be correct if:
1. There are plenty of jobs available for the immigrants, and
2. The immigrants are willing to assimilate.
Unfortunately, neither of the above seems to be true. So yeah, I'm disappointed to hear Johnson say what he did. Peace for our time, eh, Boris?

I’d add a third - high IQ and/or bringing a lot of their own $$. No reason to bring over a 70 IQ Somali even if he/she is willing to assimilate.

Migration of poor people with no skills who hate you gives no benefit. It harms the country.

Boris Johnson: Migration is 'fantastic' for the economy Sure. Because nothing revs up an economy more then adding millions of welfare recipients with a side order of Jihad.

Is it possible that Boris is talking about immigrants from Poland, Czech Republic etc.

Which economy?
Let me guess, the GOVERNMENT's economy, since it's a good excuse to take in more taxes and distribute some small portion of it back to the people.
It's of course anathema to the COUNTRY's economy, something that politicians seem to become blind to after only a few years in power.

Prove it. Defend that statement. With something more than feel-good platitudes, that is. I want someone to show me all these alleged benefits of immigration. I can see the COSTS clearly. But the benefits seem much more elusive.

Boris Johnson says immigration brings "energy and dynamism" to the economy - but stresses that people want it controlled. That's "LEGAL" Immigration!

We should take his advice to heart that migration is good for the country and urge our immigrants to keep migrating, to Mexico and Canada. It’s the neighborly thing to do. Those countries could use the help.
