    It’s crazy how every country and Earth is allowed to have immigration laws and policies in place, except the US…for some reason, it’s so controversial.

      Most of the world is wide open my dude. You fill out the paperwork and register in the right places and you’re set. The US treats it like a mixture of war and prison.

        Because most countries are not like the US. The US is one of the most sought after countries in the world to live in, while also being one of the most hated by countries all over the world. My safety is important, I don’t want some dude to just come in and decide to blow himself up in the middle of LA.

            They probably are but at some point we (1st world) will have to literally wall off from climate immigrants a la trump or collapse

            Considering we are built on suffering of many (mines,nestle,clothes,electronics) it won’t change much ethically. It’s like a next logical step

            Here in EU we solve it by opposing naciopopulists and saying: “yes we need walls but our walls are better, civilised walls, good guys walls, morally better”

            It’s just that the whole thing is so long gone that even the semi left prodemocratic majority is openly saying we won’t let them in otherwise they would lose a good chunk of voters I guess

            r/Europe is like as anti immigrant as you can be without being racist and that’s pretty good gauge on the ppl moods

          It’s odd to see this level of American exceptionalism in the wild.
