Aren't there UN treaties on things like asylum? IIRC you can't just do a popular vote to stop following a treaty.

- BjoernKW 8y agoYes, but asylum and immigration are two different matters. They often get mixed up and as far as the individual is concerned one eventually might lead to the other but a country could very well opt against immigration while still granting asylum according to UN treaties.
- sloaken 8y agoYes Asylum is where you go the the first available country to get away from the problem. Not go shopping for the best opportunity. Most, not all migrants, compete with the lower class. This keeps the lower class wages down, and enriches the rich. There is a tired old argument 'we need immigrants, because the locals will not do the job'. Which is total BS. They will not do it for the cheap ass pay you are offering. Pay me enough I will clean sewers with a toothbrush.
