Someone really needs to get a hold of the migrant problem in Europe.
Realistically the far right seem to be the only ones willing to do anything. Everyone else wants to bury thr head in the sand and act like their are no issues.
Right wingers have done fuck all to curb immigration. They just say they will and then don't lift a finger. It's all empty platitudes. Virtue signalling.
The companies that fund conservative political parties don't want fewer customers and definitely don't want to stop an influx of cheap labour.
It's just populists offering an easy solution.
Yes the right fucked it. But the far right, I think they have different opinions altogether.
Yeah, like how Republicans just passed that huge immigration bill. Oh wait.
All the downvotes here show there's really an issue on the left in staunchly denying there's any issue with unlimited illegal immigration. To be clear, like most of Lemmy, I am very much on the left side of the political spectrum myself but I live in a city which now houses a majority "non-native" (whatever you want to call it) population and it very much stresses social cohesion. Until we find an answer for very rapid integration of migrant populations I don't see how this is sustainable.
Maybe the left is a bit staunchly but I downvoted because I don't see how the right is the only one willing to do something. (at least in Germany)
Yes I'm very left wing. High taxes, high government spending.
But I always want to live in my country that feels like my country.
The more I have travelled (in the west and outside) the more I realised that the west way of life, my way of life is what I want to preserve. I've lived in my own country and felt like an outsider because the city (at least downtown) is predominantly Islamic.
There is nothing wrong with saying I want my country to look out for our citizens first, then our friends then everyone else.
