We already have programs for granting preferential immigration to high-skilled foreigners. Every advanced country does. Unrestrained immigration is incompatible with a welfare state. Which would you rather have?
- oconnor663 11y agoThere's not necessarily a conflict between the two. One middle road would be to maintain the welfare state, but to add a rule saying that only people whose ancestors were citizens before year X could receive welfare. The result would be extremely visibly racist, but I think the right response to that is to understand that existing immigration laws are in effect equally racist. It's the visibility that would change, rather than the degree.
- rewqfdsa 11y ago> existing immigration laws are in effect equally racist Now it's racist for a country to provide services to its own citizens that it doesn't provide to the citizens of other countries?
