We stimulate people to migrate to cities without thought about their assimilation there or the burdens they place on the public institutions or the citizens already there. All sectors of this society have a real mutuality of interest in understanding the interrelationships between economic development and demographic change. Is the flood of migrants any better for the city than for the areas depopulated? Are there alternative patterns of population change? Would the cities benefit were the input of poor immigrants reduced? Would the extraordinary change of problems they now confront become more amenable to alleviation? I am introducing a joint resolution today which is well adapted toward attaining such an understanding.
