For Reference:

Light blue countries have restrictions (such as permanent residency) so I wanna hear your opinions as well.

    I’m not making an argument for or against it, just seemed really self-centred bestie. You could say the same thing about asylum seekers, though the obvious advantage is the cultural diversity they bring and, you know, being a decent human being.

      We should definitely accept refugees. They have an urgent need of safety. If they get a job and pay taxes I don’t see an issue with giving them permanent residency either. A permanent resident does not have the same urgent need of becoming a citizen.

      Why is cultural diversity an advantage? It’s mentioned in the political debate by both sides as either essential or with disdain. I don’t understand why either side would be correct in this case.
