This is the geopolitics of scale that West is playing against at the moment which easily showcases the intent behind “unrestrained” immigration that is taking place in certain parts of the world. Make no mistake, it’s all planned.
Simply put: you need to throw many many bodies at the problem to even have a shot at keeping up with China. Collectively, the West is way behind in this regard.
- oezi 2y agoNonsense. People don't like to leave their homes. The immigration which is troubling to the US and Europe (in contrast to skilled immigration) is almost entirely from unimaginable suffering (Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan, Venezuela, etc.). If the West wasn't shunning to engage these conflicts, this migration would cease.
- dyauspitr 2y agoThat’s not true at all. People will migrate for a higher quality of life, more opportunities and better financial gains even if they are not suffering. That’s essentially the bulk of legal immigration in the US and it’s mostly from India and China.
- oezi 2y agoThat's skilled migration which is entirely controlled by the receiving countries. It is not the "unrestrained" migration that OP talks about.
- janalsncm 2y agoThis will only be true as long as the quality of life gradient is so heavily tilted towards the US. As developing nations improve and if the US continues to starve its social institutions (schools, infrastructure, housing) that calculation may look considerably less rosy. And to top it off, the US foolishly forces some of the smartest immigrants in the world to leave rather than give them a path to citizenship!
