    I’m in the UK and the handful of asylum seekers I’ve met who are unemployed, have significant trauma and or disability and shouldn’t be working as they are barely coping as it is.
    If we can support citizens with these conditions on unemployment, it’s nothing but racism to deny this support to people here under asylum.

    And unless some kind of supernatural magic occurs that stops capitalism, climate collapse, resource depletion, and all the genocidal authoritarianist politics humans seem to be so naturally predisposed to, birthrates should continue to fall. Adding to our numbers is nothing short of insanity at this point.

      We appear to agree about the situation as it is. However you are arguing you wish to make it worse. I, and most Europeans, do not.

        Because supporting people makes things worse? Wtf has to be wrong with you to consider providing basic resources to struggling people, a bad thing?

          No. Reducing the capacity of already strained social services makes them worse. WTF is wrong with you that you want to remove social services from struggling people??
