I think you articulated greatly something that’s been around my mind for a while. I’ve been a while thinking how migration policies should be revised in the EU, attending to human rights and seeking the best for everyone. Personally I think the route to take is improve the countries of origin, do whatever we can so people doesn’t even feel the need to leave all their friends and family behind for economic reasons. But as the EU is not addressing this because corporations profit from mass inmigration, the alt-right way of thinking about inmigration (which is basically genocide) is rising.

I might be misreading your comment, but I kinda want to be a bit on defence here. I apologise if my comment is misplaced. Some people migrate because they genuinely want to live elsewhere. I’m from Russia and migrated to Germany for family, but before that I also lived in other countries. The reason was not because living in Moscow was bad (years ago before the current war, it wasn’t), but because it’s exciting to embrace new cultures and maybe fall in love with a city and its people on another part of the Earth. Similarly, a few of my German friends migrated to the US, UK, Spain and Southeast Asia because they followed their hearts, not because they can’t make a living at home… And a couple of my American buddies now live in Germany. Is it that bad? Do the foreigners really bring thar much unrest? I think the mood changed significantly in the last decade. Now everyone is seen as a part of evil mass of immigrants. (And more often than not, racism plays a significant role in those discussions. the darker the skin, the least welcomed people are).
