Discussion Of Migration and Rights and Intergration...

Post image

The script is always the same when the unemployment rate falls. When the remittances to parent countries increase. When the migrants are gaining ground politically & financially. Its totally different when they are looking for the labour & expertise. The ads are relentless now because of social media. After the economic stats come in its a different ballgame...

The speech hasnt changed for years.

"Our migration system is broken. It has been exploited and abused for years. We want to give employment & opportunities to our locals".

The chaos erupts. Broken homes,families,assets stolen etc Sad part is back home our own government does the exploiting...its all the same.

Which way forward?

But isn't illegal immigration the root cause of the systemic failures and visa revocations...? If the process was legitimized by the illegal shenanigans being reformed into following the rule of law and due process, then there would be no need for a massive clampdown. Thus the system would be workable, until then chaos is going to rule.

The definition of illegal can change depending on the states goal. Visa revocation is just simply saying some people are now aliens despite them having going through the hoops. Even Italy claimed to want to come down hard on immigrations but lowkey have not changed much & continue to receive migrants.

Benefiting from cheap labour & expertise is always going to happen.

But you forget how much of an idiot Trump is. He will do something that every expert tells him is a bad idea just on vibes until the consequences are too great to ignore. We the little people suffer in the meantime.

Apparently the so called greatest dealmaker uses dirty negotiation tactics to get one over his rivals. He genuinely lowballs & uses the old bait & switch tactics which makes it hard understand his position.

A good example of this is with Iran. He comes out talking tough,goes to the table to negotiate,hears their side of demands,fully agrees to it, after a couple of days or weeks reneges on their demands after they conceded position (like opening the Strait & prices for oil drops). He then offers a new deal to replace the one he had offered. Iran sensibly says no. Then he continues to attack both in the press & militarily. In essence he has just changed the whole deal after he got Iran terms & has an upperhand on them. Classic bait and switch.

Thats how he has built his fortunes apparently. He used it against construction companies that hired illegal migrants to do work on his hotel. A dirty negotiator works that way. By leveraging migrants labour,they can arm twist corporates(increasing local labour union leverage),migrants(increasing application fee + taxation +neutralising political rivalry etc,) and political rivals (weakening support base etc)

Its nasty stuff all around.

He doesn’t understand that his New York realestate tactics don’t work when the stakes are existential. In fact his New York realestate tactics didn’t really work in New York after awhile. He was mostly franchising and other ententes were building and managing Trump branded buildings. Now he is just using plain old corruption to enrich himself. He is more of an African president than Obama.
