This is plainly contradicted by reality. I'm sure you've seen picrelated.

GDP is a bogus nonsense term using by bankers to push their "line go up" theft-based "economics"

Nations aren't economic zones. Without common culture and social cohesion, you don't have a nation at all. The entire question of whether immigrants "want to work" is one of the dumbest ever asked. I don't care about whether my countrymen "want to work", I care about whether we have common political and cultural views and characteristics.
