    Default Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm

    Why is modern immigration ALMOST ALWAYS one way? To the western world,.... meaning Europe, the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. ALWAYS.

    Furthermore.........If the United States is such an immoral racist country that is so horrific to minorities why is it exactly that so many from all over the world would do almost anything to get here? Is it that A....we are not such a racist country? Or B....the places that the immigrants come from are much MUCH worse then the United States because if they werent why would they ever come,...that would be stupid right?

    Inquiring minds want to know these things.......

    I think it may be high time that the Western countries start Over running the rest of the world again. Why not,.....we did it in the past and it seemed to work out pretty good for us!

    Silence. That thing you hear when "the woke" have no answer that can fit their own narrative.

    Mostly B, I believe. People are fleeing sectarian war, famine, genocide, economic collapse, ethnic cleansing, general extreme violence, and any other number of protracted hardships.

    Try not to be so over-the-top on the “such an immoral racist country”. But, do recognize that racism still exists in this country. This forum alone should convince you of that.

    I think history proves that overreaching imperialism finally collapses.

    Do this for once. Actually TRY to participate in a conversation. You might discover something in yourself.

    Of course there is racism in the USA,...just exactly like there is and always has been in every country on Earth. Furthermore it is committed by everyone , regardless of race.

    Yep. Doesn’t make it OK, does it? The best we can do is recognize that it exists and do what we can to minimize it.

    These days, it seems that even recognizing its existence is a hurdle.

    True....it doesnt make it right. But lets get this thread turned back to what it was intended to be about. That being.......WHY is it that almost all immigration is only one way? That being POC trying to get to the western countries in Europe, The U.S, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. WHY is that? Why do people from third world countries seem to be just drawn to us in the west like a magnet? Its interesting to me. Is it our culture, the way we speak, look, act, what is IT ?

    That's simply not true...the vast majority of any mention of racism here comes from people trying to lay the blame on others for things they're incredibly guilty of doing themselves...Mirroring what's happening in this country every day.... all day long...

    I found a thing called a “Corruption Index”. It ranks countries as to how corrupt their governments are. It correlates well with people fleeing their country. Also, take a look at where they’re fleeing from. Venezuela, Syria, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Sudan. Protracted violence, civil war, economic and political instability, persecution of all sorts (religious, national, social, racial, political), hunger, even climate change.

    It is not ALMOST ALWAYS one way. Prove it before you spew it.
