I am sure the world will give 30x resources and attention to this as it did a bunch of billionaire fucks on a submarine joyride to see if a ship that sank is still down there.

    Not every country wants all immigration though.

    Sure everyone wants their own personal castle.

    I just think people can just have some slightly less nice things, maybe instead of buying a f150 truck get a small utility vehicle, stuff like that.

    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.

    Spain already has a large immigrant population. And is accepting of refugees too.

    If given the choice to freely immigrate to the developed world, what percentage of the billion of people in poverty in Africa would choose to do so?

    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.

    Fucking lucky you mate, want a gold star?

    For many people it’s not safe enough to stay where they are why they wait the 10-20 years it takes for the “official” route to let them in.

    You want a consolation prize?

    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.

    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.

    Thailand? The only country that was never ruled by the west or in the west. Still very poor but you did ask and I answered.
