I am Chilean, and here in Chile the problem of illegal immigration is brutal. In the last 5 years we have received more than 2 million immigrants, which represents 10% of the country's population (20 million). Most of the immigrants that arrive in Chile are Venezuelans, Colombians and Haitians...

I think the biggest reason many people dislike/hate large scale immigration is mainly cultural. Major immigration can bring big benefits economically, but it tends to drive social tensions through the roof, especially if the immigrants show little interest in assimilating to the native culture. In the US, it seems that most new arrivals are willing or even eager to become Americans, but that isn't always the case. Europe seems to struggle quite a bit more than Anglo countries on this issue. I think this stuff mainly stems from huge cultural gaps and historic conflict between civilizations, particularly the West vs Islam, or India vs Islam. Ofc, there are also the bona fide racists, who would hate immigrants whether there were 6 or 6 million of them in a given country, but there aren't that many of them overall

It would be interesting to separate those countries by the occupations or income of those immigrants. I suspect some countries are singling out skilled or wealthy workers much more so than others, and this can affect sentiments towards immigrants.

I’d assume they move forwards and sometimes side to side, like most humans.

Why isn't the Vatican on the percentage of population list? It should be really high on there 🤔

That zoom into the Balkans for "big burden" 😂

Estonian migrants are all Russian, and they actually have like 0 migrants from outside of Europe, while Finnish migrants are mainly refugees from middle eastern countries.

Saudi Arabia made sense, cuz it is the center of Islam. As an ex-Muslim kiddo back then, I fantasize of moving to Saudi, wanting to explore places I only hear in Islamic classes. So it made sense to me

When he talked about the British prime minister, I honestly had no clue who currently held that position and how he/she looks like.

btw, Are Mexicans United Mexican Statsians? It is, after all officially the United Mexican States. If they can choose the smaller name Mexico (as opposed I suppose to Mexican) then why can't the United States of America shorten it to America? All they are both doing is taking out "United" and "States". (Yes, I know there are other Americans. Interestingly, the Mexicans and Canadians don't mind us being called Norteamericanos. What? Are the Mexicans and Canadians NOT North Americans? How shameful to speak with such derision of the Great White North and El ombligo de la luna.)

Love ibx2xat's clever quip with working age graph "is the average valuable lifespan apparently you're Austrian". I'd say Peruvian instead as theirs is a vertical red-white-red tricolour? ;)

[@lzbscalle7943]

Controversial take: Capitalists and modern leftists benefit from immigration. Both for ideological reasons but the former for cheap labour and the latter for a voter base. The ones largely harmed by immigration are low to middle income and uneducated working class people. Class analysis brought to you by some random guy.

"Children are ugly" Finally, someone telling the truth! That's why I'll never unsubscribe

[@ToastieBRRRN]

As someone who's indifferent on migration the conclusion I've come to see it as both a pro/con.

[@angelazsz]

i def think it’s a mix of the two. rich countries are attractive to immigrants which in turn help make it richer. many value making a better life for themselves which then benefits the country.
