Another issue hardly ever mentioned in the immigration/population debate is that those countries in the Global South used as a source of cheap labour for ageing Western nations are intentionally impoverished and dysfunctional societies as a means to keep the West enriched and at an artificially privileged position in material terms. Imperialism and exploitation don't factor into bullsht fraudian and shitlib debates over saving the immigrants. How about saving humanity as a whole and making everyone's homeland a liveable, sustainable society (I know, a novel, utopian idea)?
They say Ireland is underpopulated and we need more people. Do we fck. There are too many selfish, ignorant, greedy automatons around as it is, degrading and destroying everything they touch...the island already has the most degraded biosphere in Europe as it is but it's never enough...the little beauty and natural wonder that remains needs to be used up any way possible to turn that profit.
