Governments now weighing up whether or not to try to slam the door on immigrants should consider this factor: the growing economic importance of diasporas, and the contribution they can make to a country's economic growth. Diaspora networks - of Huguenots, Scots, Jews and many others - have always been a potent economic force, but the cheapness and ease of modern travel has made them larger and more numerous than ever before. There are now 215m first-generation migrants around the world: that's 3% of the world's population. These networks of kinship and language make it easier to do business across borders. They speed the flow of information. Diasporas also help spread ideas. Diasporas spread money, too. Migrants into rich countries not only send cash to their families; they also help companies in their host country operate in their home country. Such arguments are unlikely to make much headway against hostility towards immigrants in rich countries.
