Adds demand for resources. Demand for jobs reduces wages and increases unemployment. Demand for housing and land increases prices. It accelerates inflation significantly, especially when birth rates in the population are low. Increased energy draw from the grid, which is usually running near capacity nowadays anyway due to the industrial revolution 2.0. Increased load on hospitals. All the typical problems associated with population growth, without any time to adapt because you’re bringing in a lot of people who need things suddenly and not gradually as they’re growing up and moving out of home.
Most people are already struggling with cost of living issues and inflation, some of these people want to clamp down on immigration to control growth. In Australia immigration is one of several factors causing some of the most expensive housing and rents on Earth. It doesn’t help that other factors include supply reductions because our builders all collapsed during covid.
Govts generally see growth as good, a numbers go up game.
This isn’t even touching on other reasons people might have for thinking that way too, like erosion of culture when rates are high instead of integration into culture when rates are low
Yeah, i mean for instance, all native American culture has been pushed out of America and most of the European immigrants that moved here replaced the cultures and religions of the native population. It really has been awful to force them out and replace them with what is here now. We barely know anything about the vast numbers of people who used to occupy the lands we currently claim to own because the immigrant governments murdered them and forced them out before settling here.
That’s a fantantic example, rapid immigration destroys the way of life for people that have been living in a place for generations with their own culture

The environment has paid for it too
