IMMIGRATION thread

[Fragony]

A better way would be to send food aid only in the case of famines, and otherwise try to keep to digging wells, building schools etc. Provide money and assistance to good governance NGOs. The only long term solution is to help the regions filled with poverty to grow out of that poverty. Your solution is a short term destruction of their economies and long term a flood of refugees and economics migrants on a scale hardly imaginable. At which point we will either see violence on a horrific scale to "defend the borders" or the slow death of Europe as we know it. Now me I think that sounds like a bad future and not something we should work towards.

I don't even disagree with you but first things first, a total lockdown of European borders, and giving aid to those affected by regional problems. I find it kinda silly that we are making deals with Turkey the problems there don't belong in our sphere, it's their region not ours, we can help but it's not our problem. Same for Africa, not our sphere either, nor our obligation. Helping in the short term is good enough for now imho. Emergency supplies, medicine, food. Long-term is a much bigger question that can be asked, but why ask it really, it's not our mess. We would have to become some sort of creepy light jedi's to fix it all.
