Yeah I believe you are a European. Go ahead and tell us what you think of other groups of people. I would say limit it to the places that your ancestors enslaved but that would be everyone.
Quick question, do you also say that type of stuff to black people who's ancestors sold the slaves to my ancestor for a very economically viable price?
I think you have a big image of how people in rixh countries live. Most people dont live in big houses, most people dont own trucks. Sure the average person has more things than an averga person in a poor country, but the average person is not going to sacrifice their small luxuries, so people from poor countries come to live with them, especially if the people coming dont have studies and are just going to be living frol the government's money.
I'm in no way saying the average person should have to sacrifice anything, the problem is that is exactly what your currently being force to do by the people above you.
Just think of how many people could literally be housed for life with the money spent on Jeffs latest yacht he sailed out of Amsterdam.
Where talking orders of magnitude difference between the average person and the rich never mind those who are desperately trying to escape.
But like I said in my other reply, have a great day. I'm going to do something productive and pull weeds from the yard and never speak to you again. Take care!
I suppose you are from Spain, so you can freely work anywhere in the UE. Germany, for example, is way richer than Spain, companies up there pay way more than the ones in the south. If your argument about free immigration is correct, millions and millions of Italians, Greeks, Spaniards.. .are already living in Germany or the Netherlands, right?
There are. I moved from a third world country to a rich country without problems. I have now a safe job and I contribute back to society. No need to risk my life in a boat.
I wouldn't say I did it with no problems but you can certainly do it, as long as you have everything align for you and you have what ever the people in power want 🙂
I lucked out but many of my friends have no such opertunity.
These people in power are NOW the people in charge of making the country where you live better. Its not they vs us.
I sometimes donate to my home country and/or promote touristic places fromy my country. What do you do to help people from your home country, other than expecting others to open easier immigration routes?
And those people where also the same people that exploited where I come from.
It's honestly pretty ironic that the home of the Dutch is where I ran away too.
On my end I do what ever I can, mostly education, I'm currently working on mentoring contacts back home in technical skills to hopefully give them a leg up _
It's not the rich countries fault that for many people its not safe in their countries. The rich countries are accepting a lot of people, and there are routes for same immigration. These countries cannot take everyone and anyone, or else they would collapse. Its not hard to understand.
It’s not the rich countries fault that for many people its not safe in their countries.
Care to point out which current unsafe country doesn't have it's recent history involving Europeans fucking them over?
Also rich countries take a pittance in compared to countries neighbouring conflicts, where's your concern about sharing the load there? Rich countries can do far, far, far more than they are without collapsing.
Your first comment made me think I would not agree with you but you have won me over.
I come from South Africa and watching the Dutch and the amount of resources that goes to just cleaning up from a single town party it's clear that so much more can be done.
Third world countries aren't under developed they are overly exploited.
I'm a South African who has used every ounce of privilege I could to escape to the Netherlands.
100% I don't deserve it I have so many friends back in South Africa, some who have doctorates that would be way more deserving than me.
I am only here due to being privvilaged enough that I could run away while affording all the complications that come from immigrating.
Where I come from we have a ton of uncontrolled immigration, it's only dangerous is you don't look after the desperate people who need help and especially dangerous when you try isolate them.
When your neighbour is suffering it doesn't matter how big your wall if you will suffer along with them.
I really doubt that PhDs have any trouble immigrating legally to any developed country using the existing channels. I did it years ago with just a University degree and some work experience.
What I'm absolutely opposed to is uncontrolled immigration where anybody who feels like it comes to my country. In the same way that I don't let strangers come to my home without my permission.
When my neighbor is suffering, I address that problem through means other than inviting them to my bedroom.
As a Canadian, we're welcoming loads of immigrants and have been since the Syria incident blew up a few years ago. Last year was something like a million new people and we're a nation of around 40m, so it's not an insignificant number. We're not slowing down nor should we.
Data's are showing this is a net benefit to our economy. Personally I see it benefiting our society.
We definitely have problems that are being exasperated by the influx of people, our housing situation is clearly problematic and needs to be addressed but like most cultural and social shifts problems will need to be solved with new ideas for current times. It's not the immigrants fault the powers that be would rather fiddle with interest rates than alleviate the zoning issues that are a major cause of the housing shortages.
The best thing is most developed countries are suffering from an aging population, they actually need the immigrants, without them long term the country has a downward spiral coming.
Maybe they should die. Really, think about it. The rich countries do everything they can to rest on their previous accomplishments and cut off any future growth. Regardless of what it does to their own young. Spoiled rotten, unable to do anything except teardown what they can't build.
If westerns can't fuck to save themselves from extinction and can't even stand the idea that they might meet someone of a slightly different background then let them die off.
Don't forget we are all going to be millionaires selling each other Bitcoin.
There is a huge difference between uncontrolled immigration, where anybody who wants to get in does, and controlled immigration where the host country decides who gets in and under what conditions.
Go right ahead. My area is full of old people living in plastic McMansions, driving trucks they don't need, eating at franchise places that serve microwaved crap. I would love to see the types of communities and commerence here as I did in southeast Asia.
I want to let people in who will contribute to our social system more than they take from it. This is achieved through a selective process, not by opening the doors to whoever wants to live here. That simple.
I am an immigrant myself. I followed the law. I did everything I was asked to do. Excuse me if I'm indignant at the idea of other people getting in illegally after all the effort and years it took me.
