@ffm 's comment generated some historical research. He wrote
Consider the Battle of Britain which we won by a small margin. 20% of the fighter pilots on the British side were not from Britain. 10% of them came from what are now EU countries. 5% of them were Polish fighter pilots with considerable combat experience. The "Polish" Squadron 303 had the highest success rate of any in the RAF. Actually the immigrants "won the war for us".
