Migration laws we have haven't been designed for the current situation of mass migration and weaponising migrants.

Agreed. I'm normally really socially liberal, but uncontrolled migration is having a tangible impact on the EU, and it needs to be controlled one way or another.

[@laid-backmonster1881]

This, I'm an immigrant, living in the EU, and am against such pushback against migration (cause hey, Europe needs immigrants to fill the jobs they don't/can't fill...). But I'm fully against this weaponization of migrants, and if I were in the Finn's politician's shoes, I'd probably vote for the push back as well, although it's against the international law...the thing is, no one is winning there, and the refugees just want a place where they can be safe.

Writing, in 1887, concerning the Tiyan comniunity, Mr. Logan states* that “the women are not as a rule excommunicated if they live with Europeans, and the consequence is that there has been among them a large admixture of European blood, and the caste itself has been materially raised in the social scale. In appearance some of the women are almost as fair as Europeans.” On this point, the Report of the Malabar Marriage Commission, 1894, states that “in the early days of British rule, the Tiyan women incurred no social disgrace by consorting with Europeans, and, up to the last generation, if the Sudra girl could boast of her Brahmin lover, the Tiyan girl could show more substantial benefits from her alliance with a white man of the ruling race. Happily the progress of education, and the growth of a wholesome public opinion, have made shameful the position of a European’s concubine ; and both races have thus been saved from a mode of life equally demoralizing to each.” Does it gives thiyas of malabar kerala India any rights in UK or right to emigrate USA or UK because thiyas are hindhus 😂

Asylum has become obsolete. It was instituted post WWII for displaced Europeans. It was then expanded to cover the world. During the Cold War, it worked for the limited number of people who escaped the Warsaw Block. But today, long-range travel has become cheap, and human trafficking has expanded to the point where asylum laws no longer work. But abolishing it is too controversial, so instead we create workarounds like those outlined here. Double morals is worse than no morals.

[@MiSt3300]

Laws dictating the treatment of refugees were designed in the 1950s right after WW2. 75 years later the world is DIFFERENT, and back then nobody weaponised migrants and people didn't migrate to rich countries on such a scale. This means we must change these laws, and protect the borders, and ensure swift deportation procedures for those who come here illegally, or get their visa rejected. What's the point of the entire visa system if after being rejected the migrants / undesirable people can just cross the border on foot and be granted 'asylum', which basically means we are providing housing and food free of charge for those people? This is absolutely ridiculous.

[@HarithBK]

a core issue is that for these poorer nations having there people migrate to richer nations makes them more productive for that nations as they send money back home and vacation there. so why would they stop them from going? why would the accept people that return when the asylum is denied? the laws aren't being honored by these nations so why should we honor them then?

​@@HarithBK On one hand your right immigrants from poor countries do often contribute by sending money back to their families. On the other your forgetting about a key factor brain drain. Poor countries need skilled and educated workers otherwise they suffer from not having people to fill important jobs and not having people to provide training for new workers. Of course a lot of these migrants are not skilled workers as usually they would come on a legal visa. Despite that they are still shrinking their population and labour workforce especially when a lot of these people are younger and are vital for the economy.

The UK also had a scheme for Hong Kong nationals and a (very) limited number of those who'd worked for us in Afghanistan. From pretty much anywhere else, there are few (if any) schemes to apply to enter a country from abroad if you don't have a passport, funds and several months to wait for a visa application to be processed. The UK is apparently the fourth most popular country in Europe to claim asylum by overall numbers, while the handful of research studies indicate the top reasons are the language and existing communities of their nationality (both likely a consequence of Empire) rather than expecting lots of freebies. Having said that, given the increasing numbers of entrants with very conservative social ideologies, maybe the government could compile a primer on prevalent British / European attitudes on things like gender roles, expect to see plenty of people wearing "immodest" clothing, we quite like LGBT+ people etc, and if they have problems with any of that, let someone know and we'll try to fine a more "compatible" country for them (perhaps cases like those could be where a vestige of the voluntary element of the Rwanda Scheme could come in useful: deals with countries for those who do have a likely genuine claim, but whose ideology is at servere odds with European social norms).

Illegal migration is even more frustrating when you have people who worked hard and paid a lot of money to migrate legally. These people are the equivalent of jumping the queue and not having to pay a penny to the host country for the luxury.

If they were economic migrants of any value (ie doctor, IT, teacher), they would be approved a visa in many countries

[@leGUIGUI]

"Illegal migration is even more frustrating when you have people who worked hard and paid a lot of money to migrate legally." Not this trite argument, please. Migrating into a country and ask for asylum IS a legal way to migrate. You are then processed and if it is proven your life is at risk where you come from, you have the right to stay. The kind of migration you talk about are for people from country where they do not suffer from persecution and their life are not at risk, which means it's actually possible for them to work in the first place.

@@leGUIGUI not this trite again. These people are not refugees, many come from safe countries. A genuine refugee would be happy to be in the first safe country they reach. And quite frankly that's what the rules should be. Syrians refugees in Turkey do not speak Turkish when they arrive, they don't even get a particularly warm welcome either, struggling to get by, often discriminated by Turkish people and yet they are (relatively) safe, at least from war. If my country was at war I'd just be happy to get across the first border, I don't speak the language of my neighbouring countries. The rules have to change and these people must be processed in the first safe country they reach, we're being taken for mugs and letting this many people in who are not vetted and offer little to society is not compatible with the welfare states and trust based systems we have in Europe. I am happy for my country to take genuine refugees from Turkey, Jordan etc bordering conflict zones. Someone who is willing to pay criminal gangs 1000s to traffic them to their preferred country and travel 1000s of miles is not a refugee and should never be treated like one, they must be sent back immediately or detained. For the record I wouldn't consider myself right wing on this issue, I'm pro migration and I'm pro helping refugees, but what is happening right now is a massive problem and it is not being caused by genuine refugees.

Then, when the EU really started amping up the "Hungary is corrupt" narrative, Hungarians instinctively reacted with outright hostility. Von der Leyen's personal scandal with Pfizer and Germany's arrogance when Trump told them that buying Russian gas is going to come back to bite them really sold the narrative to Hungarians that whatever Fidesz is doing wrong (which is a lot, by the way), the EU is doing worse.

I mean, with weaponized migration, it is on the best interest of Russia and Belarus to choose the worst kind of migration, so when they go find people to weaponize they will probably get criminals or radicalized people.

The blame of these new migration laws existing and of their application should clearly be on the countries weaponizing those migrants, it can't be solved by accepting the attack willingly and then trying to find a solution. International laws should keep up with present realities or they'll just become "aspirational". Which now that I think about it, it is on Russia's interest to discredit the international law, as in if everyone breaks it, it means nothing, and they can claim they are doing nothing wrong on the invasion of Ukraine, so this move is a win-win for them. I hope the international laws change and add exceptions for these new form of attacks pointing fingers to the actual perpetrators and trying to fix things on the origin, so where the migrants are "enlisted" / "lied to". This attack is so brutal and is so challenging to counter act, literally using people as ammunition, very on brand now that I think about it.

I must ALWAYS point out this difference, because it is EASIER to change immigration law than to change your stance over asylum seekers, because, once again, it is mostly based on international law, but even though most "mass migration" problems usually happen because of the asylum seekers law, immigration law is the one that gets targeted all the time, basically making it more and more difficult for actual immigrants to even exist, while these people continue to do their thing, ignoring immigration law, and abusing the asylum status.

We have sent all these countries hundreds of billions, trillions since colonization ended. Infact, everyday Brits today are still paying off the debt taken on as slaves were released throughout the empire. Where has all that money gone? No more unskilled migrants in Europe. We has to be selective to the extreme who we let in the E.U and EUP has to back border countries with all the aid they nedd so they can withstand and keep Europe safe.

the question is why now and not earlier?

[@NoidoDev]

People cared more about not getting labeled as "something". Most people don't think politically, only care if things get really bad, but then it's mostly too late.

Because considerable numbers of Europeans are voting for populist nationalist parties.

Why don't other continents mandate migrants from foreign cultures the way Europe does?

[@rdorion9202]

Continents should only have to accept refugees from their own continent.

Same for Bulgaria. 50% of the population are non-Bulgarian people.
