If all people from Africa, Middle East and Central Asia migrates to Europe, where Europeans have to go? Too many people. Everyone should stay home and build their countries..

Ilegal inmigrants always protest on other countries for rights but not on theirs 😂😂😂😂😂😂

But if you are illegal in one country You are already a criminal! So what rights one criminal person can have?

[@kenake8465]

Non-European legal immigration must be limited to minimal levels, otherwise the continent will decay into oblivion. One simply has to look at what happens to areas in Sweden with high numbers of foreigners. If you scale that continent-wide, the problems will be the same.

[@Rnankn]

Oblivion? Everyone in Europe immigrated there. The only people on earth who are not immigrants are Africans.

[@user-kg5lq6nd7q]

I feel for the European countries, They’re not America (forced melting pot) they actually have a common shared culture with values and customs and the immigration is disrupting that! Absolutely not fair for these white countries when white people are the minority

[@christineopiyo7769]

This is how Africa, Australia and Americas felt when European settlers colonized and took over indigenous peoples land and wealth 😢

[@kenake8465]

@@christineopiyo7769 Europeans created the greatest nations on Earth. Why didn't the aboriginals do anything with the land or use the resources? They had thousands of years. I would actually say the citizens now have it better than if colonization never happened. Would these same people want to to live in, say, Central Africa instead?

[@christineopiyo7769]

@@kenake8465 so you're saying it was ok for White European settlers to colonize indigenous Australians, Africans and native Americans take their land and wealth change their cultures and language and it is not ok for others ethnicities to come to Europe? What nonsense is this? Help me understand this double standards where some people are entitled and others aren't 🙄🤔. All these native populations were very much ok with their cultures, today as we speak the indigenous Australians were almost wiped out through genocide by the settlers I'm glad they still exist though sadly in minority and practice their culture and art!!

Without any qualifications or legal status, what job are they expecting? A white collar job?

[@satya_19_75]

A country has a right to choose the people it allows inside their country. Countries facing internal trouble are responsible for their citizens, just exporting them does not make them France or hosting countries problem. Lawmakers are just playing politics and ruining it for all legal citizens.

[@wobblybobengland]

écouter, France is not a country, it is one of the member states of the EU, they signed away their rights to chose who they allow into their states when they became signitories to the Schengen Area.

[@habtamuzewde1029]

Now Europe understand imigration problems make it more rough

[@raiconlan1]

They want to choose the job. They want to illegally enter someone else's country and choose their job. Well if that is what he wants maybe it's better for him to stay in his country of origin. Choosing a job involves leaving a job that involves not having a job. So someone who has broken the law to illegally enter France wants to be unemployed for even a short time it would seem he would have motive to break the law again thru theft or fraud because he feels he is owed. Owed the right to illegal entry owed the right to be unemployed this seems to be odds with what the interests of the French people are.

Most European countries are overwhelmed by mass migration from foreign countries. Therefore, the issue of rejecting the entry of immigrants to any one particular European country must not be compromised.

Illegal immigrants shouldn't have come in the first place. Let's bring common sense back to the table, please. And immigrants should also know and respect the culture of the nation they're living in. If you disagree, off you go.
