    Doesn't mean we need to bring in more especially when we don't need anymore.

    That's true, indeed.

    What an inane comment. Yeah, the Pakistanis I met in high-level math classes were smart, too. Guess what? They were nothing like the often violent, gang-like low-class migrants invading both Europe and the U.S.

    That's like 3 logical fallacies rolled into one sentence.

    Yep, this clown obviously doesn't know history well, either. The sort of thoughtless, mass immigration being attempted is how empires fall and is sometimes done intentionally for that purpose.

    Those Poles can stay as ugly as they wish to be and eat their polish sausage for what it's worth. Who cares? The rest of Europe is getting older and uglier and some fresh blood does not hurt. Have you checked up on the history of Syria and Persia and checked how Persian and Syrian migrants do 10 years after arriving in Europe? There are plenty of cases to look at, many of them have made more out of themselves than the average citizen of the country they now reside in. If contribution and effort and hard work was a differentiating factor then I would on average choose Middle Eastern migrants in Europe any day over African Americans. Any day. But that's just my own opinion derived from past experience.

    Because they are leaving a despotic regime behind where you can get to nothing regardless of how hard you work. Persians are on average way more highly educated than the average American. Their history is uncountably longer and richer. They have a on average way better healthcare system than Canada or the United States. When you can only get somewhere in life by selling your soul then you might perhaps also consider emigrating and going where you can build a career based on education and hard work. Think about it

    Based on exactly what do you conclude that "we" don't need more? An aging society disagrees. A significant number of lazy people in our western countries who rather collect welfare cheques than work hard point to the contrary. What rational do you use to argue we don't need more? Who will wipe your ass when you get old and family won't want to inconvenience itself? Wanna count on some hick or depressed western nurse that smokes weed to deal with her anxiety attack or rather be cared for by some Filipina immigrant nurse?

    Don't apply to morals, when one applies to facts.

    You're probably @thecoder , or , somehow related to him.

    Name us one empire that fell because of over migration and migrants who destroyed the country. Just one. There is none. Empires fell because of the overindulgence by local citizens who could not inconvenience themselves to work anymore. That's how Rome fell. That's how the US is declining now, relatively speaking. And that is how most other empires fell, domestic pride and arrogance. None fell because of some violent migrants.
