Don't worry, the only thing governments will learn from this is that they need to exert even more control. They'll use this as a convenient excuse to centralize the age verification in the interest of security, which conveniently

That's missing the point. This is not a value judgement about whether the refugees contribute to society. By being employed they are in fact helping to keep wages lower than they would be if there was a lower supply of labor. The point

Being pro-immigration used to be a right-wing sentiment, because it was a good way to get labor costs down. And it used to be the left-wing labor parties that were against immigration for that very reason. True left-wing politicians like Be
