>>and see what has happened in Europe as a massive cautionary tale
As a European - what has happened to us, exactly? I'm curious what kind of thing you think is happening to Europe that is such disaster that even China should be afraid of it.
- 10xDev 6mo agoEuropean GDP per capita has not grown since the crash in 2008. Ever since we have heard that immigrants are being imported for jobs, yet the economy only gets worse, house prices increases due to supply and demand and crime rate is not equal among groups. Yes some people are just white supremacists but also, immigration hasn't solved anything in Europe in recent times. It is not like the US where you have a massive startup scene and get an Elon Musk from South Africa to create jobs and add meaningful value.
- gambiting 6mo ago>>Ever since we have heard that immigrants are being imported for jobs You do realize that most of European migration is internal, right? Polish workers going to Germany, that kind of thing? It would be like complaining that American migration is crazy because of all the people moving from Kansas to take jobs in California. >> house prices increases due to supply and demand and crime rate is not equal among groups As compared to....? >>It is not like the US where you have a massive startup scene and get an Elon Musk from South Africa to create jobs and add meaningful value. I'm like, honestly not sure what to say to that. I could maybe start listing successful businesses started and/or ran by immigrants in the EU if that helps? Or is the fact that none of them are as famous as Elon Musk a dealbreaker?
- mytailorisrich 6mo agoIt isn't true that most migration is internal, actually. Across the whole EU in 2023 77% of new immigrants were non-EU [1], for instance. [1] https://www.rfberlin.com/immigrant-population-eu/ https://www.rfberlin.com/immigrant-population-eu/

- amanaplanacanal 5mo agoHa! In the US women don't need to wait for immigrants to be abused or assaulted. Native born Americans do it.

- gambiting 5mo ago>>Complete demographic destruction In what way? Immigrants, even in France, are a tiny minority. How do you feel that your demographics have been "completely" destroyed?
- BoingBoomTschak 5mo ago>Immigrants, even in France, are a tiny minority I said "demographic", nothing about the legal concept of immigration/citizenship.
- gambiting 5mo agoOk, so please explain what you mean because I'm still not sure what exactly "complete destruction of demographics" means in this context.
