This cartoon caught my attention.  I'm sure it's meant as a criticism, and is likely untrue.

Import the Poor, Export the Rich

However, a poor person can become a well-to-do person if decent work opportunities are available.  Immigrants in particular are highly inclined to start business which eventually create more jobs.  And they're practical folks.

Rich people don't work.  They just suck up resources.

It is much easier to turn a poor person into a contributing citizen than it is to make a rich person either decent or productive.  So I'd much rather have poor immigrants than rich loafers, because I know who is actually useful to have around.

thanks for someone that has intellingence on the matter. its basically gone from social media and the truther community. the poor doesnt get imported though. theyre too poor to pay for plane tickets, or like in europe/africa, to pay for smugglers to go on their rubber boats. i read about this, it was some racist outlashing, but only 3% of the immigrants in sweden are actually poor.

no one talks about this anymore. hospitals are swimming over with immigrant doctors. we are so priviliged. but the MSM only mentions the bad parts, and blow em up too. the greatest criminals and murderers are the state and the politicians. beyond this, its rich people, musicians, etc. these never get caught. then its a 1000th news article about "only poor and immigrants commit crimes". i used to live in a city centre. each day when i got home late, there was a big blood stain as i walked home. this was never mentioned on the news though, since its "bad for business".

even more interesting, is in the 1800s, all central banks that were created then got their own police force. so seemingly police didnt exist before then? also interesting book: björkgraphy. the writer says that before america made a military base there, iceland didnt have any criminality nor povetry.

the real reason for immigration has nothing to do with economy though. its simple. for a society to not die, it needs to have a woman:child ratio at 2.1 or above. without that, in a few generations (100 years basically) there will eventually only be old people, that the young cant take care of. interesting book: "världens lyckligaste folk", lena sundström. she says that denmark started importing muslims all the way back in the 1950s, because of low birth rates. japan also has this problem.

now, the wests problem is that weve had it easy for too long. we dont care about love or affection or happiness. we just want more money things and sex. africans and middle eastern people are less primitive than us and get several children. i love africans and muslims even more. just amazing people.

I think it's a brilliant idea, myself. All the rich people can go make their own country somewhere ELSE & the rest of us can actually get some shit done.
