Immigration

A nation's Immigration rate measures the number of people who enter the country - both legally and illegally - in order to live in it indefinitely. Rampant immigration is typically a bad thing as it leads to Unemployment, lowers the Average Income, and causes Racial Tension among the native citizens. However, immigration does provide a small boost to the economy; any nation with a 0% immigration rate will experience a drop of 3.5% in its GDP.

Causes
Immigration will increase if a country's Health and GDP are doing well. Immigration is decreased by Border Controls, Citizenship Tests, Unemployment, and Foreign Relations.
