Hi Stefan.


Thank you for clarifying 'economic imigration.'

The Internet can seem to erase boundaries of space as well as time, so 
I might clarify that I'm writing from America, whose indigenous 
population was pushed onto reservations by immigrant leaving their 
country to make a living elsewhere; sometimes due to economic reasons, 
religious motivation other times.  Over time, these immigrants would 
then become a new minority as new immigrants would arrive.

So the question has a particular resonance in America that it might not 
in a country where, say, the indigenous population has remained 
dominant.

In general, I think your questions might find pointed answers by 
offering a "for-instance" or existential situational example, for 
discussion.  (This is not a judgment; just a suggestion.)
