You want cooperation from all these different people, but you get extremely
abrasive quickly. People are less likely to help you with shit if you just act like an asshole.

"Immigrants are Less Likely to be Criminals Than the Native-Born Higher Immigration is Associated with Lower Crime Rates"

“Both contemporary and historical studies, including official crime statistics and victimization surveys since the early 1990s,
data from the last three decennial censuses, national and regional surveys in areas of immigrant concentration, and
investigations carried out by major government commissions over the past century, have shown instead that immigration is

ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF DIVERSITY AND IMMIGRATION

"The economic benefits of immigration are unambiguous and large, but the fiscal effects are dependent upon the specifics of
government policy over a long time period, which means that the net fiscal impact of immigration could be negative while the

"…immigrants’ children—the second generation—are among the strongest economic and fiscal contributors in the
population. Estimates of the long-run fiscal impact of immigrants and their descendants would likely be more positive if their
role in sustaining labor force growth and contributing to innovation and entrepreneurial activity were taken into account."

"...this study shows that the influx of Mariel immigrants had virtually no effect on the wage rates of less-skilled nonCuban
workers. Similarly, there is no evidence of an increase in unemployment among less-skilled blacks or ocher nonCuban workers.
Rather, the data analysis suggests a remarkably rapid absorptioil of the Mariel immigrants into the Miami labor force, with
negligible effects on other groups. Even among the Cuban population there is no iildicatioll that wages or uilemployrnent rates

“Cities and regions that embrace diversity do better economically: Income inequality, geographic concentrations of the poor,
city-suburb disparities and racial segregation are all associated with slower growth over the last three decades. Economists at
the Cleveland Federal Reserve have found that high levels of racial inclusion and progress on income equality also correlate
with strong economic growth. Regions with higher levels of income inequality and racial segregation are less resilient to
economic downturns.”

balance, diversity is an important social asset. This conclusion reaffirms Dr. Putnam’s views, based upon his experience as a

Ethnic diversity will increase substantially in virtually all modern societies over the next several decades, in part
because of immigration. Increased immigration and diversity are not only inevitable, but over the long run they are
also desirable. Ethnic diversity is, on balance, an important social asset, as the history of my own country
demonstrates.
In the short to medium run, however, immigration and ethnic diversity challenge social solidarity and inhibit social
capital. In support of this provocative claim I wish to adduce some new evidence, drawn primarily from the United
States. In order to elaborate on the details of this new evidence, this portion of my article is longer and more
technical than my discussion of the other two core claims, but all three are equally important.
In the medium to long run, on the other hand, successful immigrant societies create new forms of social solidarity
and dampen the negative effects of diversity by constructing new, more encompassing identities. Thus, the central
challenge for modern, diversifying societies is to create a new, broader sense of ‘we’.
“…Scientific examination of immigration, diversity and social cohesion easily could be inflamed as the results of research
become part of the contemporary political debate, but that debate needs to be informed by our best efforts to ascertain the
facts. It would be unfortunate if a politically correct progressivism were to deny the reality of the challenge to social solidarity
posed by diversity. It would be equally unfortunate if an ahistorical and ethnocentric conservatism were to deny that
addressing that challenge is both feasible and desirable. Max Weber instructed would-be political leaders nearly a century ago
that ‘Politics is a slow boring of hard boards.’ The task of becoming comfortable with diversity will not be easy or quick, but it
will be speeded by our collective efforts and in the end well worth the effort. One great achievement of human civilization is
our ability to redraw more inclusive lines of social identity. The motto on the Great Seal of the United States (and on our dollar
bill) and the title of this essay – e pluribus unum – reflects precisely that objective – namely to create a novel ‘one’ out of a
diverse ‘many’.”
