    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.

      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 want to let people in who will contribute to our social system more than they take from it. This is achieved through a selective process, not by opening the doors to whoever wants to live here. That simple.

              I am an immigrant myself. I followed the law. I did everything I was asked to do. Excuse me if I’m indignant at the idea of other people getting in illegally after all the effort and years it took me.

              “How fucking convenient”.

        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.
