You guys move around for opportunity all the time.
Some not most
I think you meant all. All moves when disaster comes.
Meanwhile where there is food there is no need to move.

No not really. Maybe in Ellis Island days. Most born Americans certainly have no fainest clue how hard it is to legally immigrate to the USA already.
there's a lot of businesses simply built around hacking the US immigration system. the people most likely to immigrate aren't the smartest but the people with the most money who can pay to hack the system
There really isn't much "hacking" going on, it's mostly fraud. Fictional marriages, fake jobs and so on. I was talking about legal ways.

America didn't used to be the country that offered those opportunities. Yet people built it and made it that way. Nothing is static people csn change anything These people need to do that in their own countries.
The people that built it and made it that way in America were all immigrants.

is it though...
Both countries have a shortage of doctors, so yes.
That's not how it works. It depends on whether (how much) they are paid and if so what do they buy with that payment. Are they settled in US buying pizzas and Netflix?
Because if not, then investments to Nigeria past $x will grant it the upperhand since all that money can get you another doctor and more.

Actually it is incredibly easy. But keyword is not "productivity", it is "family". Who knew.. that the racist plan to ensure the population stays white actually had the reverse effect.. 2024 and nothing's still being done about it because That's racist doh!
Family reunification with your uncle is impossible. You literally just proved my point.
You can't do it with an uncle and that does not make it hard. It is in fact incredibly easy.

>That's where everyone in America came from. What about the people who were already there? Surely they'd still be a substantial portion of the population? I guess they must have all left voluntarily because they didn't agree with Western values.
> What about the people who were already there they got conquered if you look at history books > they didn't agree with Western values. you don't ever disagree with people who you share the same values and culture with?
They got killed by germs, then divided by political moves, it wasn't really a conquest like the race for Africa was. It was really inspired by what the Spanish did to the Canarias,and used the same idiotic rethoric.
I don't agree with Cesaire much, but you cannot discuss about colonialism without reading him first.

I think you'll find people in the EU compare their situation to the economic situation of their parents. That comparison goes very badly. In the 70s-80s-90s an uneducated worker could support a "suburban" house (newly built, that they'd own after 20 years or so and retire in), stay-at-home wife, car, send 2-3 kids to school and college and have money left over for a yearly holiday with 5 people. Compare that to even…
> In the 70s-80s-90s an uneducated worker could support Then the entire West started buying cheap from China and imposing rigid environmental constraints locally, and manufacturing jobs left forever.
Also we still had gas and oil from the north sea. Since the production peaked, energy is expensive, thus everything is.

The research is pretty overwhelming. Immigrants contribute much more than they take, and the increase in prosperity benefits everyone. You should actually sit down and study the topic, because your belief system is terrifying in its ignorance.

a lot of insults and not a lot of information
Because when someone goes British and Russians "same culture, same history, same values"...
And ends it with America is "high trust" like as if they never heard of Japan...
And I still can't leave a darn Chromebook in the library for a 5min toilet break without losing it because the trust is so high.
