How many immigrants have you accepted into your home? Would you like a million more?
A grand total of 0! Amazing isn’t it? So again, how did you get that privilege?
I was born in a shit country and everyone here worked hard over the past few decades to turn it into a decent country, with help from developed ones. That's how.
Let us assume that you actually come from nothing and made it to a better life. Great job. That however still does not mean that the material conditions given to you are the same for everyone else. You assume that everyone has the same possibilities and opportunities as you do. That simply is not the case.
Ok, and what's your point? Some people don't get the same opportunities, therefore they should all move to countries which are doing well? What are they going to do once they arrive? Most of them are uneducated, don't know the language and don't have any valuable skills. How are they going to survive in these crowded, overpriced cities?
They can't all live on welfare payments.
That's why I support helping their home countries develop, funding education and healthcare, sharing agricultural and manufacturing knowledge. It'll be better for everyone if they turn their poor countries into developed economies.
