The issue isn’t migrants themselves, at least not as long as the number of migrants isn’t overwhelming, the issue is that the economy in most countries has become too lopsided. Too many people feel that their livelyhood is already under threat and they will absolutely reject the notion of letting even more people come in and compete with them for resources.
While the current system is nowhere near perfect, you can’t just let everyone that wants to migrate actually do it. Whether you like it or not, there is a significant portion in every society that would vote for anyone that promises to close the border, as is evident by the rise of right-wing groups stirring up hatred against migrants all over western countries. You will achieve very little if you force the issue and incite a major backlash.
“What’s your solution? Have everyone who wants to come over to the West and get citizenship?”
Unironically yes.
How to destroy a country in 3 seconds flat.
“God these Irish and Italians are destroying the country.”
Lol your ignorance is hilarious, it’s not the 1920s anymore. The world is a large global market, and countries no longer exists in vacuums.
Nativist bullshit continues to be nativist bullshit.

Yep, but that would have taken them too much restraint to argue :/

Not that my heart didn’t swell with a little American pride thinking of that, but the actual number is only around 150 million extra for the US.
650 million new friends! _
