You’re right, being born in a place is a violent act perpetrated against you.
Anyway, if you move to, say Germany, and are naturalised, or otherwise granted voting rights, and you vote for a regime that tightens immigration control, then do you not, in a sense, have a right to stop them letting other people in.
Elsewise, would you mind if someone had an opinion different to yours, and expressed that opinion, here in this forum, which, if I understand correctly, is based in the USA, a country known for its elevation of the principal of free speech?

- TheSpiceIsLife 2y ago> You have no right to stop them letting another person in. What exactly did you mean by this? Let’s follow it to its logical conclusion.
- abenga 2y agoIt's just a figure of speech. Obviously, citizens have the right to vote for whatever immigration policy they would like. Maybe I should have said "ethically, you should not deny others a benefit that was granted to you", which is what I meant.
- TheSpiceIsLife 2y agoEven if doing so is a net negative? Remember when Tunisian and Saudi nationals didn't drive cars through crowds at Christmas markets in Germany?
