Being relaxed about immigration: we should not manage cultural diversity, but value it



Another post with my thoughts on issues raised by the new Spanish social work journal, Azarbe.

What country is relaxed about immigration? An article in Azarbe on public policy on immigration says this is a fairly recent issue for Spain, but I wonder whether any country has really relaxed about the changes that increasing migration across the world has raised. We are all exercised in various ways by this issue because of its cultural consequences. As another article here questions: should we be less concerned about immigration and more about how we manage the cultural diversity that, in various aspects, we all have to cope with? But is it just about managing, or should it be about valuing cultural richness in our societies?
