I’m a South African who has used every ounce of privilege I could to escape to the Netherlands.
100% I don’t deserve it I have so many friends back in South Africa, some who have doctorates that would be way more deserving than me.
I am only here due to being privvilaged enough that I could run away while affording all the complications that come from immigrating.
Where I come from we have a ton of uncontrolled immigration, it’s only dangerous is you don’t look after the desperate people who need help and especially dangerous when you try isolate them.
When your neighbour is suffering it doesn’t matter how big your wall if you will suffer along with them.
I really doubt that PhDs have any trouble immigrating legally to any developed country using the existing channels. I did it years ago with just a University degree and some work experience.
What I’m absolutely opposed to is uncontrolled immigration where anybody who feels like it comes to my country. In the same way that I don’t let strangers come to my home without my permission.
When my neighbor is suffering, I address that problem through means other than inviting them to my bedroom.
Go right ahead. My area is full of old people living in plastic McMansions, driving trucks they don’t need, eating at franchise places that serve microwaved crap. I would love to see the types of communities and commerence here as I did in southeast Asia.
I want to let people in who will contribute to our social system more than they take from it. This is achieved through a selective process, not by opening the doors to whoever wants to live here. That simple.
I am an immigrant myself. I followed the law. I did everything I was asked to do. Excuse me if I’m indignant at the idea of other people getting in illegally after all the effort and years it took me.
How about we place a safe route for uncontrolled immigrantion right around where you live? See the problem now?

“How fucking convenient” that they think the laws don’t apply to them.
“How fucking convenient” they get to pick and choose which country to live in, instead of the other way around.
“How fucking convenient” that you move the goalposts as you are proven wrong.
