immigration

Migration into a place, especially migration to a country of which one is not a native in order to settle there.

Greenies, immigration and environmental degradation.

Greenies and immigration.

I just don't understand some greenies. I can't help but question why they go on and on so hyper-enthusiastically about how wonderful multiculturalism in Australia is without ever questioning Australia's very high level of immigration.

Do they think that by extolling the virtues of multiculturalism or 'diversity' they'll convince people that they are tolerant and sophisticated? Conversely, do they hope that by refusing to address the issue of immigration they can avoid being branded intolerant, or even worse, unsophisticated?
