why did the west commit to multiculturalism?

[ICantSpellDawg]

I think it had mostly to do with economics. Immigration tends to be heralded by the elite who prefer more people to rule over, cheaper goods and services domestically to compete with wages globally.. Certain nations were seeing major growth levels and most of those levels were from population booms. Most things are desired for financial gains and then sold to the public in ways that they will understand - guilt, new foods, new and better beard designs, etc.It was always funny have the first American states to allow women to vote, did so to fluff up their populations in congress. Other states saw this benefit and sold it to their people. Of course, there are already people who strongly believe in certain things and popular swells, but quite a bit of that is a new thing; things happening because people actually want it on their own.Look at nations who refuse to accept immigration- the ones who are seeing growth are the ones who have an invisible population that are now becoming visible, a simulated rural to urban immigration. The ones who are struggling have hit a wall where the entire population is now visible and dwindling.Mobile typing is a great excuse for poor paragraph form

See, this is what I mean. Whip out your Websters and you'll find that migration -/- multiculturalism.

I have a history of disagreeing with TuffStuffMcGruff, but I think he hit the nail on the head here. I think the primary driving factor for allowing immigration is because it allows a cheap labor supply to whatever industry needs it in the host country-- agriculture, low end service, whatever else. As to the 'policy rationalizations' for immigration, I doubt very much that politicians are sitting around hashing out the finer points of multiculturalism or the imperialist legacy of the west-- I'm sorry but the first two posters in this thread assigned WAY too high an assumption of education and IQ to the typical politician, lol.
