Migration always means poverty migration, not wealth migration

[Tchocky]

That article hurts my head.


Put it this way - if a blog post purports to discuss economics, using the heading "STATISTICS CAN PROVE ANYTHING" is not the way to go.

Just as water flows downhill and hot air rises, migration—which is always poverty migration—goes from poverty to wealth. There’s no such thing as “wealthy migration,” unless we’re talking about Gerard Depardieu. That this more or less scientific fact is so insistently denied has to do with broken promises.

This more or less ridiculous statement is more or less rubbish.
