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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I bet you are fine with banks doing it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] aurelian@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago 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.

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? permalink fedilink source parent [–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (5 children) There are.
