It would just be too bad if a bunch of people from, say, Africa and Asia, decided that it was about time to civilize those backward European savages and set up colonies on their land...

Pretty much everything people opposing immigration said came true.

Nah, the capitalists just pitted them and migrating people towards tension for a smoke screen while making working class life harder overall. Immigration opposers have been and consistently keep on being wrong with their paranoia.

So propping up the housing market by keeping population artificially increasing or keeping wages low by hiring lower paid foreign workers isn't bad for the working population? What about increasing crime or cost to the government. Both of which have been recorded in government stats (though one is Danish).

"The capitalist" if anything want immigration. You want higher wages, better jobs and cheaper housing you want less immigration.

You're all blinded by what you wish the world was like.

Making a class without agency always leads to crime, it doesn't matter where they're from

Wanderer ,

What does that even mean?

Climate change is going to create millions upon millions of migrants

Kaboom ,

You can say no to migrants. Just dont let them in. Its that easy.

Wat?

Yes. Just tell millions upon millions of suffering people they can't cross the invisible line to find refuge.

Genius strategy.

We should tell right wingers that if they don't stop climate change there's gonna be more migrants. That will unironically work better than warning them about the world ending.

Their solution will be "shoot migrants" not "solve climate change".

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Europe has seen a sharp rise in the share of people who say that reducing immigration should be a top government priority, according to a study published Wednesday.

At the same time, there was less desire to prioritize fighting climate change in the same countries, according to the survey commissioned by the Denmark-based Alliance of Democracies Foundation think tank.

"Nowhere is this reversal more striking than in Germany, which now leads the world with the highest share of people who want their government to focus on reducing immigration — topping all other priorities — and now nearly twice as high as fighting climate change," the report read.

The authors found that the greatest perceived threat globally was war and violent conflict, followed by poverty and hunger, and then climate change.

"In the past four years, this perception has remained highest in Latin America, lowest in Asia and has steadily increased in Europe since 2020 — particularly in Germany, the report said.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, chair of the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, said the figures were "a wake-up call for all democratic governments."
