Re: Dig Down into Immigrants and our/their Luck!

There are 7 billion people on the planet and about 5 billion of them live in crap countries.

It isn't possible to accomodate all 5 billion in the better countries and so why should the law breakers who enter illegally be given priority?

I respect the President of El Salvador who said the death of the young man and his daughter in the Rio Grande was the fault of HIS country and HIS Government for not creating a safe nation and opportunities and not the fault of Trump or the USA,.

First step on the path to a better future for his nation, hopefully.

Well said.

Present situation =
5 billion living in crap countries
2 billion living in pleasant countries

Do-gooders' proposed situation =
7 billion living in crap countries

What do they hope to achieve?

Another thing to consider is why are some countries crap whilst others are pleasant?

Perhaps it's something to do with the people who live in them.

Marge's father, now dead, was a sergeant major in West Africa some years ago and described seeing the indigenous people just lying about in the sun. Yes, it's hot and dry, but yet Africa has some of the best farmland in the world. And they've been living like that for hundreds of years.

Over the same period, enterprising people in Europe (especially the UK) were inventing and developing the technology to make us the 'workshop of the world'. And, yes, we had poverty too but we have managed to improve our lot.

The truth that dare not speak it's name

Races are not equal, and genetics do play a major role.

Sadly we have only to look at Zimbabwe once the bread basket of Africa and now a ruined desperate place.

Yes, and it looks like South Africa is going the same way
Search YouTube for the 'Loving Life' channel or 'South African Parliament'.

Dare not speak it's name indeed

The question that none of the do-gooders are willing to answer is why are Muslims so desperate to go and live in Christian countries, and not other Muslim countries

Indeed.
How sad that so many people dare not even mention it. We live in the 'PC Age', which precludes logical argument.
