Baiting people to risk their lives on idiotic trips for a chance to become a welfare recipient is the standard migration policy of most western/western aligned

Baiting people to risk their lives on idiotic trips for a chance to become a welfare recipient is the standard migration policy of most western/western aligned countries. Much more prominent on the Mediterranean though. Governments set up schemes where everyone who manages to enter the country gets free money/housing/food, but, after having invited billions of people in that way, set up no actual routes to enter their countries. Leaving the creation of the routes to human trafficers and NGOs for extremely dangerous trips across the Mediterranean.

Proof required that people make these trips to become “welfare recipients”. Sounds like a “just so” story to me.

  >Proof required that people make these trips to become “welfare recipients”. Over 50% of Syrians who have come to Germany are welfare recipients, the migrant crisis came in 2016. I also do not get why anyone in Germany would work minimum wage, seems really dumb. You can just get the state to pay for everything.

  It's a fact that allowing people who came to your country illegally is encouraging more people to risk their lives doing the same. For every 1000 of people who get to stay a significant proportion drown in the Mediterranean, end up being slaves in North Africa, are outright murder or die due to other reason while try to take this extremely dangerous trip. Supporting a system like this just because you can ignore the people who didn't make seems quite perverse?

"No actual routes"? The UK has taken in nearly 200,000 refugees from Ukraine alone.
