    Wow, so even the conservatives now realized that if you leave no legal avenue for migrants, they will simply come here illegally?

    But let’s not get too crazy. If you flee your country with no way of obtaining a work permit in your country, you are still screwed.

    How is this a good thing for EU citizens? Are there lots of these jobs now in need of workers that is not available? Or will many EU workers loose their jobs as firms shift to cheap immigrant workers?

      The economy adapts to the supply of workers, and as the UK found out after brexit, if you restrict the supply of workers the work generally goes away.

      They had produce rotting in the fields because they couldn’t find workers and the locals weren’t interested in that kind of work. Raising salaries wasn’t an option because consumers weren’t interested in paying more. Economics is fun, isn’t it?

    Did we learn nothing from 2015?

    Stop the brain drain from countries that needs their educated people at home.

    This is just white savior crap with the added effect of causing developing nations to take longer to develop.

    I strongly believe that to improve a country you need educated citizens, we should absolutely help developing nations with offering free/reduced cost education to citizens of developing countries so they get an educated workforce with a strong network of connections that will aid cooperation and development.

      Stop being a snowflake, if you’re too cucked to avoid being replaced by a brown person that’s strong beta vibes I‘m sensing and that sounds like a you problem.

      Hope I got the language right. In all seriousness though the whole 2015 migration trope was a right wing psy-op and you fell for it, congratulations. I live in Germany and the only thing I learned is that Syrians can cook much better than you whoever you are.

    As if people can be motivated to come to Europe on a whim and only haven’t come because we only accepted them from a dangerous entrance by sketchy boat.

    Even if it works, it’s an expression of values that will corrupt the EU forever. *

    * Not because we invite foreigners but because we treat workers as objects.
