Erm... Political Asylum does not immigration make.

Adding to the denominator is the only way to increase the numerator in some conditions.
Example: a restaurant suddenly has double the number of patrons, it needs more servers and possibly another cook to keep up.
A grocery store has more customers, it needs more cashiers available during peak hours.
This isn't that challenging of a concept. It's win win. More traffic = more spending = more earning = more jobs.
Eos, you're forgetting that the rich want to get richer, and will do whatever is sensibly feasible to cut as many costs as possible; look at how many companies outsource jobs to other countries, or cut entire sections of dedicated-to-one-task workers to have a smaller workforce of jack-of-all-trades employees. You're ignoring the inherent flaws in any system: the human element.
