    Yes. Just tell millions upon millions of suffering people they can’t cross the invisible line to find refuge.

    Genius strategy.

      Do you think the people who fear migration care the slightest bit about anyone but themselves?

      An awful number of them would support attacking rafts filled with refugees with military warships.

        Nah, but the sinking rafts bullshit is a super dangerous ploy and needs to be addressed somehow. We cant incentivize it. Maybe just jail everyone involved so no one wants to pay just to sit in an Italian prison?

          I’m sure people who accept the realistic risk of drowning - most cannot swim - will be discouraged by the threat of… being in a prison with better living conditions than their home?

        Are you suggesting people culturally removed from your own are a threat to you in some way?

        Cause damn. That’d be embarrassing.

        Like did they train your job in pantomime?

        Or are your own police not more violent to their citizens?

        What is it that allowing immigrants in doesn’t improve?

          Well yes, some cultures are dangerous. Rape culture for instance.

          As for jobs, short sighted management will always take a lower skilled worker for less money.

          Honestly, I dont see how immigration helps the worker, theyre scabs in my book.

            …rape culture? Wtf kind of truth social bullshit are you on about? This question is rhetorical.

            As for jobs, only if you have 0 fucking skills. Get good and stfu.

            Your arguing that “foreigners are highly skilled professionals here to take our jobs but also they’re criminals and rapist boogymen”

            They can’t be both, unless they’re, ya know, just regular humans like your neighbor.

            Christ.
