No jon, Japan has very low immigration and has a higher standard of living than us. We've always had a relatively high stadard of living, even before mass immigration. It's down to capitalism. Anyway, higher immigration means the "lower trust" a society reports. So if you want to live in a low trust society with low social cohesion you crack on. Sounds like hell to me.
