That would make about as much sense as counting immigration between different US states. I know it's fashionable to pretend someone immigrating from a neighboring country is the same as from half-way across the world, but it's just not so.
- alright_scowl 4y agoRomanians moving to Germany (as an example) should definitely be counted as immigration. They are still foreign nationals for Germany, with the caveat that due to agreements within the EU they are free to live and work in Germany without any extra bureaucracy. That said it makes EU countries actually a lot less restrictive in terms of immigration than the US. EU member countries are not in anyway way equivalent to US states.
- lostlogin 4y agoHave you been to any many EU countries? I have only been to a few, and the differences between them are massive, comparing them to US states isn’t even vaguely close to accurate. It would be interesting to compare the two most similar EU countries to the two most different US states.
