@InternetEh@dads.cool @ElleGray@mstdn.social I agree however the main argument used by racists and those opposed to allowing refugees in automatically is that they "cost money and are going to rely on the state and take UK jobs ,so I was answering that argument. Its something goverment like to gloss over to justify measures that will win them votes by those prejudiced against refugees .If you start from the assumption that we need them ,the need for refugees to establish a reason to be allowed to stay is gone

@Helengraham@ieji.de I'm for arguments that further the fact that people have worth even when they're not profitable. The project of the capitalist order is to create disposable sub-classes of workers like migrants, who can be either ruthlessly exploited or tossed into the ocean or a war zone when the economy doesn't need them. I don't think "but the economy needs them" is the best way to counter that. We're feeding enough workers into that meat grinder already
