Do you think we have too many foreigners, workers form abroad in your country or too less? Some see foreigners as people who only use the social system without wanting to work and if they work steel the jobs of the own citizens, others think we should have more foreigners because they bring even more jobs and possibilities and also go shopping etc. and so stimulate the own economy.

I think it's a very complicated question. First we should know why the foreigner come to your country? For work or just tourist? Tourist can make benefits for local people, not many people will disagree with it. workers sometimes can make benefits to the local society if they pay their Tax and spend money in local shops. however sometimes they also take the job chances of local people. The typical example in Dubai. Dubai was in big success before the credit crisis. Foreigners in Dubai did do big contribution to it. But now the foreigners left the economy in Dubai is going to die. So it's really difficult to say good or bad. I think for local goverment they should realise it and balance the job chances for local and foreigners.so their economy would not be controled by foreigners.

I don't think that too many foreigners are a problem to any country and ofcourse in this age of globalisation we should consider the whole world as a single country and we should move forward.So we cannot avoid immigration and in my opinion we should cope up with our foreigner colleagues and treat them alike.. happy mylotting
