    The immigrant crisis around the globe is also at a tipping point. Climate change and corporate greed have fucked many places in the world out of habitability.

    Immigrants aren’t going to stop coming because the alternative is a slow and miserable death or the threat of cartel governments. Now western countries don’t want to take care of them and don’t want to deal with them at all, because immigrants demand resources and we need all that money to hide in congress’ ratholes.

    Well if we hadn’t fucking destroyed the planet in the blink of an eye maybe they wouldn’t all need to come to europe. If we hadn’t waged this stupid fucking war on drugs then maybe south/central americans wouldn’t need to flee cartel zones for fear of their entire village being beheaded and dumped in a pit.

    America and Europe are only beginning to reap what we’ve sown over the last 50 years and we already want to throw in the towel.

    Shit is going to get far worse, everywhere, imminently.

      Maybe it will get worse in the future, but what resources do immigrants require? They don’t need nannies or childcare or schooling…they just work, consume and pay taxes like everyone else. Has this ever been a problem for the US? Up to the 1930s, the US had an immigration of over 11% of population, the same as it’s been since the 2000s. https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/immigrant-population-over-time

      I won’t even mention the EU, we’re in demographic suicide here because raising kids people until they have a job and a house and stability is fucking expensive xP
