Immigration: How much is too much?

If you genuinely desire to understand the topic then this debate is a must watch and then hopefully the invocation of discussion/debate.

‘In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges Sir Paul Collier, the former head of Development Research at the World Bank, author of Exodus: Immigration and Multiculturalism, and professor at Oxford University, on the costs and benefits of migration.

Collier tells Hasan that he is not “advocating stopping migration” but that “too much diversity” leads to an erosion of cooperation in societies that “shows up in much lower levels of trust”.

We explore whether increased migration threatens social cohesion, and ask: Does emigration help or hurt developing countries? Are stricter border controls needed? And what about refugees?

Joining the discussion are:

  • David Goodhart, author of the book The British Dream
  • Philippe Legrain, economist and author of the book Immigrants: Your Country Needs Them.
  • Titilola Banjoko, British-Nigerian doctor and advisor to the EU and the UN on migration issues
