Simon (1984) articulated the first and perhaps most controversial economic assessment
criteria of a nation state’s immigration policy. The proposition is as follows:
If the marginal immigrant makes a non-negative contribution to the
treasury you continue to admit immigrants until the contribution goes
to zero.
This rule has many staunch liberal and conservative supporters. In the liberal or
republican state (Sicakkan, 1999), immigrants are acceptable if they confer a net
economic benefit on the host country’s residents. From a more conservative view,
Milton Friedman has argued that the host population should have no interest in the
number of arrivals if there exists no welfare state. Thus the political extremes agree on
the Simon Principle.3
