The job market would have to handle those fluctuations, but I agree that it would create some uncertainty, especially for small businesses.
beyond the scope of business though, what happens to a community if/when they go from all speaking the same language and eating the same food and sharing similar values to interacting with different sets of languages, food, and values on a recurring basis?
imo humans aren’t very good at dealing with rapid change, i worry that could be a limiting factor to this idea

We should be selective in who we let in- people that share our values. I’m in the Philippines right now and almost everyone here speaks pretty good English, has great work ethic, Christian and loves american culture. They are also so poor and would kill for the opportunities in the US.

As long as people respect each other, I don't see difference as a negative factor, on the contrary. But as I said, there must be mutual respect. If someone who arrives does not respect the culture and way of life of the host country, there is only one way forward.
