   Bring back the primary sector, and the birth rate will start booming. You don't need to be 18+ to work. There are jobs that don't require years of training.

   The West is economically addicted to the cheap labour from mass immigration and as everyone knows, any addiction, left unchecked, results in the junkie in question deteriorating and eventually overdosing because the junkie feels that more and more of the 'substance' is needed to get the same effect.

   Earth is a human body. It needs migration or blood circulation for everything. But the question is how much blood circulation is gonna be there. (For eg how many immigrants a country can afford without damaging the country and system.) Too much blood or too much pressure will kill the human body.

    It is very easy to solve the problem. Legislation looks like this:
    – Upon arrival, id must be presented.
    – If you do not qualify, you're refused.
    – If you cannot prove your identity, you're refused.
    – If you're unaccompanied minor without a document, AI tools will be used to determine your age.

    What does refusal look like? A detention centre, with no free food, like it would be for me or your travelling to any airport and losing your id, you pay for yourself and contact an embassy.

    It seems that the problem might be that it is difficult to plan a family living in <40m2, paying 1500Eur, from a 2000Eur income after tax. So yeh, let's not solve that, but rather import migrants.

    I think a country can benefit from a good implemented migration policy
    But it needs to have regulations and background checks

    Right now it's just too reckless
    People come in giant numbers with zero documentation and some of them are untraceable

    At some point we would find that the migration crises(plural) is an ongoing vector of "active measures" that Ruzzia usess against the west. As wvery other type, this act of war take an existing problem and accelerate the deepening of it, sometime having trolls argue both parts. Was it a border crises inat mexico USA border? yes. Does USA needs all tohoe migrants? yes. Can the crises be solved by "putting order in it" and helping economic recovery of the countries of origin? Yes. But If an Russia asset, let's say Trump, want to use it as one of the few issues to run on? well, FSB is on it. Same with Maghreb countries (Tunisia, Algeria) middle East (Syria, Lebanon), destabilised enough , kept poor, so the ppl have no way that to migrate in Europe. Londongrad has use it for Brexit..Further kremlin agenda of weakening the atraction of EU in satellit countries (Georgia, Ukraine Belarus Serbia etc)

    Most volumetric migrants are arabs from eurasia

    Syrians, Afghans, Venezuelans and Turks lodged the most applications for asylum – together accounting for almost 40 % of all first-time asylum applicants in EU Member States in 2022.

    Since 2013, Syria remains the main country whose citizens seek asylum in the EU. In 2022, the number of Syrian first-time asylum applicants in the EU increased to 131 970 (from 98 900 in 2021), however their share in the total EU first-time asylum applicants decreased from 18.4 % to 15.0 %.

    Afghan was the second main citizenship for a fourth year in a row (113 495, or 12.9 % of the EU total). Applicants from Venezuela and Türkiye each

    When Spanish and Portuguese migrated to Central and South America from the 16th century on and forcibly migrated enslaved Africans nobody asked if these migrations were needed, if they were good or bad. The same goes for all other colonizations. But now Europe wants to limit migration?! 🤔

    In the long term, eliminating causes for migration is the best solution, but since we won't be able to end all wars and poverty problems overnight, taking in refugees is still the only morally right thing in the short term.
    Same with the demographic problem. Migration helps in the short term, but we have to find long term solutions in the meantime.

    I've always seen the migrant crisis in Europe not as the CAUSE of problems, but the RESULT of a bunch of economic, political, and social failures ON BOTH SIDES.

    1. "Europe's population is old and shrinking so we need migrants": No, European governments need to raise wages, create more jobs, make housing cheaper, and invest in more young family policies (and actually effective policies, not just bandaid "here's an extra 100 eu if you have another kid")
    2. "We need to take in refugees for moral reasons": I agree 100%, a country that openly rejects taking in people who need help is an immoral country. BUT, the vast majority of refugees are coming from the middle east, a region completely destabilized by the US and not Europe. Yes there was european support, but the US is to blame and should take 1 million Syrians, Iraqis, etc if they're the ones who ruined the region. that way, if EU countries take in smaller numbers, the assimilation and settlement process is easier.
    3. "We can't take in these people because they make no go zones, spread extremism, violence, dont assimilate, etc": If the numbers were smaller, there would be more resources and it would be easier to set up actually efficient assimilation programs. Also, the social and political rejection of immigrants is part of the reason why they dont assimilate, cause violence, etc. Smaller anti-immigrant and more right-wing states and towns say: "we dont want them in our town" and so they're all concentrated in one area. If they're not spread out and only interact with other migrants, obviously they wont assimilate as much and will create an informal economy, which always ends in organized crime, gangs, violence. But then when the obvious happens, those same towns and politicians that said no look at the larger majority-migrant cities and say "SEE! this is what happens if you take these people, they cant assimilate, we say NO again" and the cycle repeats with more violence and less assimilation.

    Bottom line is, migration has always happened in the world and in Europe (most Europeans today are actually descendants of an indo-european group thousands of years ago). Migration will continue to happen especially with the HUNDREDS of millions of climate refugees that are already being created. People, and the politicians they vote for, need to zoom out and look at all the data put together and figure out policies which actually work.

    1. If the goal is to make europe's economy better, invest more in younger citizens and workers and there won't be a need for cheap labor from migrants.
    2. If the goal is to limit migration into Europe, invest in making the middle east and africa more stable and if you can't, demand the people responsible to handle the issue (the US)
    3. If the goal is to make the migrants already in Europe more assimilated and less violent, you need to be willing to put in the work of accepting these migrants and spreading them out instead of causing a problem and then pointing a finger saying its the other guy's fault.

    Europe absolutely needs migration, but it beeds to be the right kind. People who are educated, willing to work, respect the host countrys society and who want to be part of it. Europe has focused a lot on refrugee migration from 3rd world countries where the people who chose to move are the complete opposite. Since they don't respect laws or culture of the host country they commit crime, use up tax payer resources in the form of social welfare which they send back to their country of origin. That is only a big strain on resources, no matter how many kids they have. Also it does not strengthen the relationship between their country of origin and the host country as shown by the among many axamples the Iraq-Sweden situation where 2nd generation refrugee gang members flee to Iraq and have shoot outs in Bagdhad, whereupon Iraq is upset with Sweden exporting "their criminals". Europe should have large migration, but the right migration.

    @TLDRnewsEU in your video, starting at 1m 55s, you say "without a massive increase in productivity or the pension age… the obvious solution here is we need immigration".
    
    I disagree – what we need is a massive increase in productivity (regardless of how we tackle this, the pension age is going to be increased).
    
    If European countries import cheap labour, there is little incentive for European companies and organisations to improve productivity. Meanwhile, somewhere around the globe there is going to be some country that invests massively in automation, robotics, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) , and they will have both a higher productivity and all the "know how" relating to the automation/robotics/AI.
    
    What I am suggesting is also more humane – it does not rely on constantly exploiting less well off people from another country.
    Incidentally, AI is going to transform human labour in a way that very few have imagined. I suspect that twenty/thirty years from now we will be seeing vasts amount of redundancies – a level that we have never seen before. This is not something to be frightened of.
    At first there might be a reduction in everyone's hours, and hopefully we will develop societies where we all work a lot less, and less stress-fully, and hopefully improve quality of life, in particular family life – spending more time helping our elderly relatives, and spending quality time with our children. And taking care of people in general – regardless of there being a blood connection.
    Uncontrolled birth rates around the world will need to be reduced.

    Why do you need migrants if you in Europe have a HUGE youth unemployment? Why do you need more workers to contribute to the pension system if you have such high unemployment and underemployed people? Why you do not charge more on companies to make that gap? Why don't you cut rights and benefits of women who choose not to have children, after all that is an ancient civilizatory duty of them. Men's whole was to go to war and provide for the society whoile women had to make children for the survival and perpetuity of the people. Why does Europe want JUST sunni muslim migrants and not 4 million white africans, 3 million christian pakistanis, and refugees from hong kong? Most if not all of migrants to Europe are single men, not classified under international law as refugees (they are not persecuted in their home countries neither specifically nor ethnically or religiously).

    The Problem I see with this video is that it almost completely puts all migrants in one basket. When asking if Europe needs migrants it should be asked if it needs external migrants. A nation like switzerland leading the pack in net gain or other European countries get the gain mostly from European migrants as seen in the study from the Netherlands. Looking at the net gain africans are very damaging. With a net loss per sub sub saharan migrant totalling over half a million euros in their life. Therby not helping the pension system and an investment into a fund like the one Norway has would have been a more economically sound decision.

    So please make a difference between internal and external migrants and also between countries of origin as their average net contribution does differ significantly depending on where they come from.
