What's the connection between inflation and immigration?

The Economic Story

In this episode I plan to review the answer to this interesting question - What's the connection between inflation and immigration?

In the last 2 - 3 years the developed world has experienced very high inflation. And in the last couple of years, immigration has also been relatively high. Non only that, even during early 80's, there was a co-existence of high inflation and high immigration (per relative standard of that day and age). That leads us to an obvious question - is this just a coincedence or is there a connection between the two?

While coincidences do occur from time to time, there are also many connections that we fail to uncover. In this case, there is at least one connection - What is it?
