 Not looking for a debate neither, but why isn't migration a positive concept that helps the development of the country? Because people living in it are afraid of change, racists or just haters of the Other? EU has a responsibility not only towards the member countries but also towards the people turning away from armed conflicts, poverty and corruption, at least that is one of issues on the table. I know americans build the sense of self and moral judgement on nationalism, but that is just one way of looking at things. Why can't we be sailors of the land sharing our each unique offering? I know this framed, 4d, image driven era has turned us into brands from individual level, to corporate level, to state level, but most are devoided of truth and the shitty part is that we are training the collective intelligence through these exchanges at human scale.
