The social and economic implications of forced and unforced immigration to OECD countries are explored from the point of view of new immigrants, of previous immigrant cohorts and with respect to natives living in countries of reception. We start with recent case studies of immigration from the Middle East (Syria), Africa (Senegal) and Central America (Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala). Human rights and humanitarian arguments for in support of conflict or climate refugees are reviewed. Collier’s compelling but recently deflated 2013 case for immigration limits is reviewed along with policies that seem to maximize the benefit and minimize the cost of rising birthplace diversity are discussed with particular reference to “super-diverse” London and California. Finally, we review the complex issues raised by skilled (STEM) immigration by students and professionals, or the Brain Drain. We close by reviewing a perennial argument that the current cohort of immigrants will not assimilate as well as previous ethnic groups. LatAm Growth Unfulfilled Promises
