I am sure the world will give 30x resources and attention to this as it did a bunch of billionaire fucks on a submarine joyride to see if a ship that sank is still down there.

- Not sure why you are making this political. There is an expectation that a country care for its citizens at sea. That should include the case of migrants, both to and from their country of origin and in support of a nation's coastline. Don't start doubting that this is the expectation because you saw a couple rich people get support that people get literally every week in other places.

Situations like this is why countries need to setup safe immigration routes.

- Not every country wants all immigration though.

  Sure everyone wants their own personal castle.
  
  I just think people can just have some slightly less nice things, maybe instead of buying a f150 truck get a small utility vehicle, stuff like that.

- Spain already has a large immigrant population. And is accepting of refugees too.
  
  If given the choice to freely immigrate to the developed world, what percentage of the billion of people in poverty in Africa would choose to do so?

  I suppose you are from Spain, so you can freely work anywhere in the UE. Germany, for example, is way richer than Spain, companies up there pay way more than the ones in the south. If your argument about free immigration is correct, millions and millions of Italians, Greeks, Spaniards.. .are already living in Germany or the Netherlands, right?

- There are. I moved from a third world country to a rich country without problems. I have now a safe job and I contribute back to society. No need to risk my life in a boat.

  I wouldn't say I did it with no problems but you can certainly do it, as long as you have everything align for you and you have what ever the people in power want 🙂
  
  I lucked out but many of my friends have no such opertunity.

  Fucking lucky you mate, want a gold star?
  
  For many people it’s not safe enough to stay where they are why they wait the 10-20 years it takes for the “official” route to let them in.

- How about we place a safe route for uncontrolled immigrantion right around where you live? See the problem now?

  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.

  As a Canadian, we're welcoming loads of immigrants and have been since the Syria incident blew up a few years ago. Last year was something like a million new people and we're a nation of around 40m, so it's not an insignificant number. We're not slowing down nor should we.
  
  Data's are showing this is a net benefit to our economy. Personally I see it benefiting our society.
  
  We definitely have problems that are being exasperated by the influx of people, our housing situation is clearly problematic and needs to be addressed but like most cultural and social shifts problems will need to be solved with new ideas for current times. It's not the immigrants fault the powers that be would rather fiddle with interest rates than alleviate the zoning issues that are a major cause of the housing shortages.

  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.
