Fair or unfair?
The immigration policies of individual countries often make global news. Take a look at some of these recent examples.
Many asylum seekers need financial support.
In Germany more cities are moving towards a card-based system for support, rather than bank payments. This is to prevent asylum seekers from transferring the money to others, such as relatives in their country of origin.
President Joe Biden of America tried to pass a new agreement that says the borders can be shut down if too many migrants are trying to enter the country.
This would mean the number of asylum seekers allowed to enter the country would be reduced to a minimum.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Poland offered Ukrainian refugees temporary protection.
This included education for children and healthcare - and some people could also request housing.
We want to hear what you think.
Which of these policies feel fair? And which feel unfair? Why?

I think that Joe Biden's policies are fair because if too many immigrants come into America, then the population would be too high and the USA won't want to pay all of that money for the education and healthcare that the immigrants need. The refugees would feel differently because their country has become unsafe so they have ran away from it, seeking refuge. If the USA only lets some people in ,then families could be torn apart and each other forced to never see each other again. From an immigrant's perspective this is a really unfair thing to do.
I agree with you and I also think that if there are too many immigrants it also affects, their home country because it causes a lack of human resources the economy of that country will also be affected causing more people to leave their country.
Excellent awareness highspirited_concept, Hans Rosling (A Swedish academic) does a brilliant presentation on immigration and the brain drain it can cause. Some challenges are that poorer countries may put money into educating doctors etc, who then once they pass their exams they move abroad to developed countries so they themselves can live a better life. This therefore causes the 'brain drain' where a country invests in its talent to only go and lose it. I would encourage you to do some research on 'brain drain' and Hans Rosling as it is very interesting and he has some great visual lectures.
Interesting suggestions Ollie.
It is really disheartening that after much energy, resources and attention given to individuals precisely doctors,
The finishing product would not be beneficial to their country.This increases the under developmental standards of the country and thus leading to an hazardous effect.
I believe there should be an awareness program that talks about this issue .
An academic such as hans Rosling are doing a great job in bringing this to the public notice.
Let the people who were invested in,invest in their country also.
Thank you for the suggestion, I really enjoy my new knowledge on the 'brain drain', I am learning a lot and I know it will be able to help me in future discussions.
I personally think that brain drain is not really the fault of the individual, many would choose to use their talents where is is more accepted and profitable for them. So I think the country should not only focus on educating minds but developing the country by providing more job opportunities, infrastructures, innovations and so much more to not only retain good professions but to lure others from other countries, surely the developed countries are doing something right to garner so many individuals of dexterity
So they shouldn’t only invest in their youths but the country as a whole to, or simply building a culture of patriotism that enables a citizen to always fall back to their country no matter what.
I agree because... having too many immigrants in the country can put a strain on resources like water, food etc. When a country cannot fend for the needs of all the citizens because the nation is overpopulated, this countries will not be able to carry the burden of other people who will want to immigrate into their country.
Very true reflective conversation, having lots of immigrant cause over population and it cause problem in a country for example a country like Nigeria where the government are not done taking care of their citizen's when immigrants come and gather in a country the resource will be small and it will not be able to take good care of the immigrants and also the citizen's.
Exactly!
Because the more people in a country or certain place with the limited amount of resources available, will cause serious problems.
Its disappointing to the fact that people leave their country for a safer place because where they were, was not safe enough. But that's the truth. The more people added in a country does not increase the resource to cater for human needs. Which will end up turning citizen needs into insatiable desires. So yes that my point of view and what it actually is.
hello highspirited_concept,
well that may not always be the case. like in my country which is to say to some level 'overcrowded' so it is of benefit to the country when there are immigrants
Yeah, but the immigrants are humans and they need to find a home. In my opinion, it's inhuman to not allow people to enter your country and force them to go somewhere else. Countries should think about this and all make some changes in their decisions about immigrants.
I totally support you steady maths as sometimes immigrants settle in other countries so that they can have a better life and they can financially support their families and everyone has a right to live a happy life Government think that for making their nations a safe place they should not allow immigrants step in their countries but, immigrants are not criminals.
I agree with you highsprited_concept because I think there are too many people in this world that are invading people's homes and countries. It is obvious that Biden's policies are fair because many people on this Earth are doing the wrong things to other people but when it's their turn to get their space invaded they'll be mad just like how other people were.
I agree because if their are no people in a country, there will not be any resources that can be sold for the country and the country will have poor development in the place and they can't be called a federation.
Thank you for sharing, how would you balance supporting refugees whilst also recognising the desires of the population existing within the country. Take the UK for example, what would you suggest?
To begin with.
In oder to balance supporting refugees and my country population desires if i were a president.
I would first of all consider the population of my country before considering the amount of refugees allowed.
This simply means that it depends on my country's population so is the number of refugees let in.
Before letting any refugees in,i believe holding a press conference about the insecurities/situational discomfort the refugees are in and how we could support them.
Futher explaining that all their desires cannot be satisfied and that we should be of great assistance to countrys around us and that any country could be under threat at any time either from wars or natural disasters.
I suggest that in oder to balance supporting refugees and the people's desire .
A limited amount of refugees should be allowed in .
Thus reducing the risk of overpopulation and under resources.
I believe with understanding and tolerance .
The issue of balancing would be reserved.
You are right vivacious engine, because when we have lots of immigrants in a country that country will be over populated and the government will not be able to handle them all this is a disadvantage of immigration, an another disadvantage of immigration is ,when you are coming from a country without training or disciple and you come to a country that trained their citizens to be disciplined you meant likely come and course problems in that particular country, so it will be better if the government reduce the way people come to a country. So, for me what Joe Biden is doing is very fair. Thank you!
I strongly agree with because I think countries are careful so as not to import criminals into their countries. some countries who do not have strong data base may not have adequate information on certain citizens of their countries. These people could be criminals who may likely come in and infiltrate their society and bring crimes.
That's right because for example in Nigeria we have leaders who are corrupt and are giving citizens the mind set of corruption and that is wrong. Lets image leaders like this go to well trained counties they can socialize with citizens of that country and corrupt them.
Knowledgeable_message, thank you for your comment.
You make a good point about immigrants who have committed crimes in their original countries.
Suppose someone has immigrated to country B from country A?
- What incentive does country A have to share its criminal database with country B?
- In what ways could the definitions of 'crimes' be very different in the two countries?
I don't really agree with you because the country minimizing the numbers of the asylum seekers entering their country is with a reason it doesn't really means avoiding the import of criminals into their country. Well in my own opinion, I think the reason why the country is minimizing the numbers of the asylum seekers entering their country is because of:
Residential area: most countries don't have much houses that can accommodate all of them.[the asylum seekers].
Actually I agree with you about your say about the comment the person said and I agree with all you said, that yes the reason why some countries don't allow asylum seekers is because of the lack of residential areas are not much for more asylum seekers to enter. But don't you think that more countries should have connections all over in the world so as to ensure more comdation for those who are asylum seekers any in the world. Thanks 👍
Hi brave reindeer, you made a very good point but I both agree and disagree with you, we should note that everything has it's advantages and disadvantage. I do think that Joe Biden 's policy is both fair and unfair because... In the aspect of fairness it helps to maintain the stability of the government to provide the basic amenities for the government and also to avoid overpopulation which might also lead to hunger issues and food scarcity.
In the aspect of unfairness, some immigrants migrate because of the crisis and wars going on in their country and not allowing immigrants into the country might lead to the risk of lives of individuals therefore making them to live in fear.
THANKS 👍
I agree with you brave_reindeer because you see, there are lot of imigrants in a particular country,the country will be over populated and congested.If you are not a good citizen and go to another country either for a vacation or educational purpose,you should have being trained as if you want to serve a particular country.So I think what Joe Biden said is fair.
THANK YOU 💕 😊
I agree with Joe Biden's policy because he is actually being considerate in his decision. If there are too many immigrants he would not be able to cater for the needs of everyone in the country and the country would become over-populated which in turn would lead to unemployment. Over population can cause a lot of problems such as: increase in crime rate and poor living e.t.c.Well I feel like this policy is the best among all
Yes, I agree with you on what you have said and that Joe Biden's policies are fair. I also think that if too many immigrants come to the country,terrorists can also use that as an advantage to gather themselves to go on with their work there. It will be so devastating to patriotic citizens and can make a nation fall apart.
Can you explain the link that you have made between an increase in immigrants and terrorist activity?
Hello Vivacious_engine,
I agree with your statement on this. Joe Biden's policies are fair because with an overflow of immigrants coming to America, leads to an excessive population which the U.S will be unable to afford the education and healthcare that the immigrants require. However, the refugees will have a different pov from it because they are forced to leave and are seeking new beginnings and help. Now if the USA only lets a limited amount of people in this can cause torn apart families. With torn apart families the people that are restricted will deem it as an unfair policy.
Interesting ideas. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?
My information was found at pewresearch.
It stated that Joe Biden made the rules about immigration. For that point on the information, based on what i seen I made relevant and possible assumptions to why he made this rule.
I strongly agree with you and I will also like to include the fact that when the immigrants are so many other refugees may see the country as a ‘refugee camp’ because so many people will be entering the country and their population will increase by a lot which won’t help because in USA their school fees are free that is if you go to public school.
Well done for giving a reason for your opinion. Are all refugees likely to go to school in the country that they arrive in? What about adults who would like to work?
I absolutely concur with your perspective and I also believe that Joe Biden 's policy is fair as it will achieve social cohension and it will prevent overpopulation from happening.
In my opinion, personally the most fair policy is the one from poland. When a war happens, it is pivotal and essential for the affected country to find support from another countries. Giving educational opportunities to children, household and even housing is a great manner to help and protect local citizens and urge them to be patience until this war comes to an end and that is what Poland tends to implement.
I agree with you because when the number of immigrants increases then it can lead to lots of problem such as overpopulation, crime rates because people who are migrated do not always find employment . Some of them look for means to earn money through illegal ways . This leads to increase in crime rates ; traffic jams, pollution etc.
What measures could be taken to prevent this from happening?
I agree with president Joe Biden ' decision that he passed the policy that the borders can be shut down if too many migrants are trying to enter the country which can lead to alot of of problems.. helping the asylum seekers is on the other side , but too many asylum seekers would enter to the host country then the host country would itself undergo in trouble. So my suggestion would be if you are helping the asylum seekers then the host country should allow limited asylum seekers in their country so that the host country would not become overpopulated .
I disagree because most of the asylum seekers go to America to seek greener pastures, so preventing them from coming just seems a bit inhumane . Also most of the asylum seekers are hardworking and goal-oriented, which really improve America's economy since there are now more people working and spending money
I will have to disagree with you rational_sealion, the reason being is that it is true that most asylum seekers think of America as the land of milk of honey and go there to seek greener pastures, however, USA is not the only developed country in the world. Some examples of developed countries are: Norway, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong etc.
As you stated, is true that most asylum seekers are hardworking and goal-oriented, but when the numbers of asylum seekers entering a country exceed the limit, the country will face lots of problems such as: Overcrowding, unemployment etc. Thus, the USA is not being inhumane by having a limit to asylum seekers entering the country, they are making sure that their land, their honor, and their home country is well kept and is in a good position, and not facing any crisis.
It will be unfair if the hardworking asylum seekers cannot get their way into the USA, So, I think the USA government should line them all up, and look for what they are good at, and what they do best. If it benefits the USA, they will keep them-but only a certain amount- if they don't benefit them, the USA can contact other countries that need the skills of the other asylum seekers and work something out to have them enter their countries.
What are your thoughts on estimating the 'acceptable' level of immigration? I note you mention 'if too many enter' - how would you quantify that to help policy makers decide on a most appropriate response?
You're right, when there's a large influx of immigrants, it can create challenges like overpopulation, increased crime rates, and traffic congestion. But it is also crucial to recognize the potential challenges that can arise with increased immigration. However, it's also important to remember that immigrants contribute to the economy, cultural diversity, and innovation in many ways. Striking a balance and implementing fair policies can help address these concerns while also benefiting society as a whole.
I agree with you that it can lead to crime rates because as you have said people who have migrated do not always find employment easily because some are not documented. Some go to countries illegally and when they try to find work, it becomes a problem because they are not there with permits which is necessary to get legal job. As a lot of time goes, most of them look for the next faster skim that they can get money to sustain both themselves and their families and so most of them go into illegal jobs. Because of that, the country can turn into something else[bad] and can also be devastating to citizens of the country.
You made a good comment vivacious engine but my question is, if the population of immigrants become to high in America do you really think they will not be any plan for larger market to sustain everybody in the country?
It's understandable to have concerns about immigration and its impact on resources, but it's also important to consider the unselfish aspect. Balancing both perspectives is important. It's a complex issue with no easy solution, and empathy for those seeking refuge is crucial in crafting fair policies.
I totally agree with you because...
Joe Biden made this policy so that the individuals in America won't suffer because of accepting too many immigrants. Accepting immigrants would lead to overpopulation therefore leading to the instability of the government to provide the basic amenities of the people and so they won't want to provide for the refugees. And accepting few immigrants would lead to the separation of families. So, in conclusion, I think Joe Biden 's policy is fair.
Thanks 👍
I agree with you that Joe Biden made those policies so that the citizens of America won't have to suffer for his actions. This is also very good because every leader of a country should be able to protect his/her citizens of the country ,with that the citizens would love appreciate their leader and it will make that country more stronger and firm.
Hello,
I agree with you because it is unfair to the immigrants searching for a better life. After all, I believe everyone should be given the same opportunities. I also understand the worry of overpopulation, as it can cause problems with housing, food, jobs, and other limited resources. As for refugees or asylum seekers, they should be, at least, given access to a safe location, with food, water, clothing, basically the bare minimum to survive. The refugees aren't leaving because they want to, they have to if they want to escape danger.
Interesting ideas. Can you think of reasons why people might leave their home countries?
Good day everyone,
Accourding to my opinion , people leave their home countries for their work or for their economical growth and also for study and business for example, a man started a business in his home country and his product were don't liked by people so, he can shift his business from his home country to another country where his product were liked by people and for maintaining the staff and branches he have to leave his home country . They also leave their home countries during the war for their safety for example, many people from Russia and Ukraine also leave these two countries for their safety . People also leave their countries because of natural disaster or for further environmental factors.
Hello,
There are many reasons why people might leave their home countries. These reasons can be a push or pull factor, where push factors push a person away from their home country, and pull factors pull someone towards another country.
Push factors:
- Increased violence
-corrupt politicians
-unstable economy
-war
-increased poverty
-shortages of important resources
an event in history where people decided to leave their home countries would be the crisis in Venezuela, where millions don't have food or medicine. Increased violence and crime have caused many to fear for their lives and flee their home country.
Pull factors:
-more opportunities
-higher paying jobs
stable economy
-better education
-family
Many people choose to immigrate to another country to be reunited with their families or are just looking for a better life. I know that the Bracero's Program (1942-1964) was a huge pull factor for over 2 million Mexican men to travel to the USA looking for field jobs.
Thank you!
Hi 👋🏻
I think there are many reasons for people to leave their country they maybe forced(they went because their is a war or something like that)or they left by their desires(they wanted better lives)
~Maybe they are forced because
•A war with another country
•earthquakes
•Volcanoes
•tsunamis
•civil wars
•disasters
•The Climate change
~Maybe they left by their desires
•they wanted better jobs
•they wanted better chances of studying
•job opportunities
•reconnecting friends and families
Thanks😌
People may have various reasons for leaving their homes, such as family or personal circumstances, dissatisfaction with their current country, or preference for a different location. Another common reason is education, as some people may seek higher degrees or better opportunities in other places. Moreover, some people may be forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, or injustice in their countries. Others may simply want to enjoy life and explore new cultures, destinations, or experiences. These are some of the possible motivations for people to relocate. Thank you.
Hello, Chloe, I would like to answer your question
I think that people leave because of necessary things. They leave to find a better life and to have a better future. The parents come to give their children a better education. They come to find jobs so that they can have money to buy necessary things. They also come due to protection because let's say for example there is a war they need to move where it is safe. Also they leave their home country because they want to escape from prison. That's why we have criminals.
I agree with you because to many population will effect the country, the country get over population and also the big amount of money will be spend on the children education and the country get many more problem .
Tranquil_lemon, thank you for your comment.
Although money would be spent on children's education, many of the adult immigrants would work and pay taxes.
What other problems could immigration cause?
I agree with you because if there are to many immigrants in a country, they might not be taken care of well , making them feel unwanted in the country.
There will also be a lack of human resources just as high spirted concept pointed out and this will cause more people to leave the country.
I also agree with the vivacious engine because if a country has so many migrants the GDP per capita also may decrease the country and the inflation can also increase.
I agree because if there are many immigrants in America some of the immigrants may have bad attitudes and corrupt some people in America. and now Joe Biden needs to close the border for safety.
I strongly agree because... It's really hard to take care of a country that has a high population. Which means the government has to work harder and do more of exportation that importation. A high population could lead to families suffering, child abundance, drug abuse and even a higher crime rate. There is going to be a lot of cars accidents because of traffic.
Hello!
I don't fully agree with you, for the following reasons. I believe that for the most part, the law that Joe Biden tried to pass is unfair to people outside of America. Why? because according to the webpage "Understanding the U.S. Immigrant Experience: The 2023 KFF/LA Times Survey of Immigrants" most immigrants come to the USA for better opportunities, regarding financial situations, education, employment situations, or for their safety. Immigrants are people and they deserve to be able to leave a situation in their home country that they don't have control over. Most of them don't have the sole power to change the education system or increase the amount of jobs available, so they choose to leave in search of a place that fits their needs. A lot of immigrants say they are better off in their new country (from the same webpage) but everyone's life isn't perfect, the immigrants who decide to stay just have better pros of living where they are now than in their home country. Look at it this way, if you are stranded on one of two islands, where one island has plenty of food, drinkable water, good hunting gear, and nice hammocks, while the one you are at, has little food, is running out of water, and no places to comfortably lay down, wouldn't you want to travel to the other island? I would, and everyone should be given the chance too. It would be very unfair to be left suffering because that "island's" gates are closed. I do understand that overpopulation will affect everyone negatively as there aren't enough resources to go around, but I still stand by my point. To conclude, countries should not close their doors to immigrants or asylum seekers who need help. Thank you!
I agree with you, vivacious engine but in my own opinion, I think Joe Biden's policies are fair to the disadvantages of the immigrants. When too many immigrants are allowed into the country, it increases the cost of living for both the citizens and the government because the citizens would have to buy food at higher rate while the government would spend much on importation and exportation of goods into the country. Another reason is that it would cause overpopulation.
Well I strongly disagree with you because some people are in need of a safe place to stay either because of a war, an economic crisis in their country or personal reasons. Every human has the right to do anything he could in order to live a better life. Every country can make some changes in order to help the immigrants fix their life. Both the country and the immigrants can benefit from this situation. The immigrants will be able to efficiently find a place that meets all their needs and the country will respond with more money since the citizens will increase and have to pay taxes.
i agree with you because immigrants keep on coming to the U.S and the U.S is already over populated so if all these immigrants the U.S is going to way to many people so it makes sence that joe biden tried to shut down the border because to many people are coming to the U.S.
Hello vivacious_engine ,
I agree because America is a free country and can give you free education, health care, etc, but if there are a lot of immigrants coming citizens and immigrants will get less money or freedom. This could affect everything and there would be less training for everyone. I also agree with what you said that if we look at the perspective of the immigrants this would be horrible. I also think that this would affect their home country, because it may cause a lack of human resources in the economy of their home country which will affect people leave their home country.
I agree because... if more people come to America . The president Joe Biden will have to pay for more property. And also kids will need more supplies . So the government will have to help a little. And they will have less resources to use. Like you need trees to have wood and sometimes you need wood to make houses. So less creatures will have homes like squirrels.
I think Vivacious _engine thinks differently because he or she said because they thought of subjects that did not come to my mind.The reason I disagree is that I think that is wrong to keep other people out of our country .You do not want to go anywhere dangerous why should they?
I agree because too much people in one country can cause multiple issues , for example in need of resources. And like you said, people would have to be torn apart from their families and forced to never see each other again.
I agree also I think if the immigrants increased this will affect the both countries. The country of the immigrants will lose the thinking brains and intellectuals. Also, The country to which they immigrate will face Large population overcrowding, and this may lead to pollution in several things and may change the life systems of some citizens.
I agree because... it wouldn’t at all be fair for the US as they would badly struggle with financial issues and could easily gain a lack in bank interest and income
i agree with because the population would become extremely high if they keep on letting immigrants in the country, but towards a immigrant's perspective this would be an unfair thing to do due to them having to leave their home country to go to the USA, only to have to seek refuge somewhere else.
I totally agree because although some times an increase of population, in this case by immigrants can cause an economic increase and some times decrease, I think so many would affect the culture and the traditions of the country, an example is Spain, in some parts as there are lots of iligal immigrants they are changing some importantes thing that never could be changed.
I agree with you, vivacious_engine. The uncontrolled immigration can cause problems in both countries. For example, if the immigrants are very expensive to mantain, the price of products and foods could rose to cover the costs. On the other hand, this policy could separate families and lifes, put lives in danger and damage the economy of the USA because tourism could also be affected. Honestly, this policy blow my mind, I don't know what to think. Both options have very good arguments, I don't know what is right or wrong.
Actually from my own perspective, in a high scale i don't agree with you when it comes to that of Joe's Biden policies, why because not allowing asylum seekers ( does who are looking for a place to stay because of a war that is occuring) will or rather cause increase in mortality (death rate) which can be both good and bad in its own perspective towards the condition of a country. So very much I don't agree with your point of view when it comes towards the law that was made.
So in conclusion I will say that, that particular law is actually UNFAIR towards the individuals who are seeking for a place for living. Thanks.
Actually, from the other side of my perspective I agree.
Why because, yes there will not be enough of economic financial standard to be provided for the country because they have to take care of their asylum seekers who will need financial assistance.
So in conclusion, in terms of the country's personal needs to be provided, I will rather say that it FAIR. So we should all know this law can be fair and both unfair to different side of reasoning. Thanks.
I agree with your opinion because although from an immigrant's point of view it seems unfair to shut down the borders for immigrants but from a government point of view it is best to shut down the borders to prevent a major increase and population that can devastate the economy.
I think that Joe Biden trying to pass a law only letting some asylum seekers through is fair. This is because when a person goes to seek refuge in another country it will cost that country money to let you in and find a place to stay, this would come out of the citizens tax which they might say isn't very fair.
Letting only a small amount of migrants into your country still helps some people that are seeking safety, but it is also leaving your country in a place where they aren't suffering financially because of it. Many people in these countries that asylum seekers are going to feel quite threatened because of the possibility of their jobs being taken. With the large amounts of unemployment because of a lack of jobs this makes people scared of the possibilities of what might happen when a migrant enters their country.
If every country took a few then they would all have places to go and feel safe, but it can't end up with one country taking tens of thousands because that would have both economic and social effects on their population and government.
This is why I think it is fair to keep the number of asylum seekers to a minimum because it will have many knock on effects to the rest of the population and may also lead to them not feeling safe financially. As long as the country is still letting a few people in it is still helping people.
However, I think that an asylum seeker would think very differently to me. This is because they may believe that if they are at war in their home country or are being persecuted, then it is the rest of the world's responsibility to keep them safe.
As long as they find somewhere that is safe to stay then they will be able to rebuild their life and live happily, but it is important that one country doesn't take responsibility over every migrant as it will effect both them and the asylum seekers. As they will not be able to give the migrants the best place to live if one country takes so many.
I like that you have considered both your own point of view, and that of a migrant. That shows great awareness! Do you think we need nations to collaborate more to help with the migrant problem? What do you suggest?
I think that the collaboration of nations will be vital to help with our migration problem. If as a world we don't communicate then it can only lead to disaster. When it comes to deciding the futures of so many people, you need as many points of view from as many places as possible.
I am suggesting that in the UN's annual meetings they discuss this problem in great detail. As well as discussing they need to come to a definite conclusion of what they are going to do. This migrant problem needs to be put on their next meetings agenda immediately because this problem will unfortunately never cease to exist, so we need to deal with it now not later.
some people think there should be no limits on human movement around the globe. People should be able to live and work where they want to, without being constrained by borders and passports. What do you think of this idea accurate_outcome?
I think limiting movement is important for the safety of the entire population. Passports are there for both our safety and to show a form of belonging to somewhere. Without this belonging people may begin to feel lost and feel as if they don't have a true home anywhere.
If people could move wherever they would like without limitation then it could lead to people running away from the law. For instance someone may escape from prison and flee to another country across the border, if passports were no longer needed then it would make it extremely difficult for them to be found. The allowing humans to roam and live wherever they wish will only have negative consequences on humans and the planet.
Hello, I agree with you on the fact that many countries should be open to taking in refugees or asylum seekers instead of one country having all the responsibility. Mostly because some countries might not have enough shelters, housing, or resources to provide for every refugee, while other countries do have enough. I get that from the citizen's perspective it would be worrying to have so many new people come to your country that might also take your job or even affect the economy, but I also am very understanding with the refugees themselves as they have been through enough and most of them don't mean any harm, they just want a safe country.
I completely agree with you. It's important to have a balanced and fair approach to refugee resettlement, and it's not fair for one country to bear the brunt of the responsibility. It's also important for countries to work together to provide support and resources for refugees, rather than placing the burden on one country or community.
While it's understandable for citizens to have concerns about the impact of refugees on the economy and job market, it's also important to recognize the humanity of those seeking asylum. Many refugees have faced unimaginable hardships and simply want a safe place to live. Finding a balance that addresses both the needs of refugees and the concerns of host communities is essential. Thanks for bringing attention to this important issue.
The Poland rule is the most fair because everyone deserves access to education and healthcare. However, I believe the rule set by Joe Biden is unfair. He imposed a limit on refugees entering the US, which could put them in danger since they won't be under the protection of the US government. People may have different opinions on this issue, and that's okay because everyone thinks differently.
Thanks for sharing your opinion! Do you think Joe Biden will think it will make him more popular to be tougher on migrants? With an election coming up, do you think politicians think more about what will win votes than what will be best for a country?
I don't think Joe Biden would become more popular if he is tougher on immigrants. In fact, it might decrease his popularity. Some US citizens have immigrant friends and want to offer them hospitality. If Biden doesn't allow immigrants in, citizens could get angry and may not vote for him. They want a president who is welcoming to everyone, regardless of their immigrant status, because they understand the challenges immigrants face.
I don't think he is doing it for the fame. Though if he is, he would be making himself infamous rather than loved. He is simply being rational about the entire situation. He is probably considering the level of resources he will need to accomodate all those migrants. Not to mention that too many migrants will cause an imbalance in the population of the country. He is just putting the facts into consideration.
I agree because as we all know, leaders are people who are meant to make positive impacts on the people and the society instead of trying to be famous, so I don't think he is taking this action for the sake of fame, but is trying to do this in order to properly care for the needs of the people in his country, but I will not blame him because he is trying to do what is best for his country, but I would rather encourage him to at least allow specific people who come into the country for educational and business reasons because statistically in 2022 701,945 people come into the country for educational purposes alone, so at least if Biden won't allow other people to come he should at least allow people who come into the country for educational purposes because they can be helpful in the running of the country and the world at large.
THANK YOU.
Interesting ideas. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?
Your comment is really meaningful but if I may ask,What do you think that makes the leaders to promises and they will not fulfill it ?
I disagree because it is one of the roles of a president to accept and take care of everyone in his country not only citizens, also in the US there is more than enough space and land in the country to build refugee sites or communities after making my research so there would be no problem of over population for about an average of 4-10 years, lastly some US citizens may have friends that are immigrants or asylum seekers and maybe they want to give them hospitality but if there is a limit and they ar not allowed to enter the us citizens will feel like the president is a bias person and he doesn't like immigrants and this would ruin his reputation.
I don't actually agree with you because...
I think 🤔 Joe Biden made this policy because he would not want a case where there would be overpopulation therefore leading to the instability of the government to provide basic amenities for both the citizens and the immigrants. He did it out of his love and consideration for his people and not for popularity or fame. And also for the good and stable living condition of his people. So I think it is a fair policy.
THANKS 👍
I disagree with you because I don't think the US would be overpopulated by immigrants and asylum seekers at this time. There are many places in the US where Joe Biden could build refuge homes for them, so there's no need for him to worry about overpopulation. Also, I understand that Joe Biden wants to prioritize taking care of American citizens, but as president, his responsibility is to care for everyone in the nation, not just citizens. If he only focuses on citizns, people might think he's biased and doesn't care about others.
Hello!
I think that definitely Joe Biden has to do what is best for the country rather than what will make them popular among the citizens because he has the capabilities and he is in the best position to take decisions because he has all the information about the country and as such can make the best decisions for his country and apart from that he also has a host of other people to help him carry out his duties so they together can effectively carry out administrative decisions.
As humans definitely we want to be in a position of power and as such when one is given such power, he or she would like to retain it but as a well-educated man and a man who is not new to politics I expect Joe Biden to do what is right for the country regardless of how bad people may think of him I think if he does what is right he will be will be understood and when it is eminent that his decision is the right one then I think there will be no need for him to sacrifice doing what is right for popularity.
Thank You!!!
Hey!
I believe normal citizens of a country, more often than not, think of Asylum seekers as trespassers who will later compete for their jobs and their growth opportunities. It is more of a self-centric mindset that this nation belongs only to me since I was born here and that I need not share it with others.
And so, perhaps this is exactly the reason for this policy. Political Parties would only benefit from fuelling this desire of voters to prevent migration into their countries. After all, a very small legally voting population of the United States of America protests for Migrant Rights. All the others are more than happy not to have to share space with outsiders. So if Political Parties second this opinion of the masses, who's to stop them from winning the elections? Act of Kindness and Global Benefit often comes second to the ambition of standing at the head of Global Leadership - Being the president of the United States of America?
Should we blame them for this ambition? Well, some said Julius Ceaser was right, some didn't.
I concur with you. By enabling the Ukrainian refugees to reside in their nation, Poland performed a tremendous job. They demonstrate their concern for neighboring countries. The American government did something that was really unpleasant. The refugees wouldn't even want to travel to America if they were contentedly living in their home nations.
You're right; as kind humans, we ought to make an effort to take other people's interests into account in addition to our own. You can only imagine how helpless and hopeless they would feel if they were the ones seeking refuge and no one helped them. While it is true that citizens of a country should be aware of and cautious about others entering their territory for security reasons, do the innocent people really deserve to pay for what they haven't done?
No, they don't. It is morally reprehensible to penalize the innocent for the faults of others, but we also need to consider the advantages to the country's well-being. They may be cautious, but that doesn't give them license to damage innocent people.
I understand your point, ambitious_panther.
. It's essential to consider the fairness of policies like the Poland rule, which prioritize access to education and healthcare for everyone. On the other hand, you believe that Joe Biden's limit on refugees entering the US is unfair because it could potentially endanger them without the protection of the government. It's true that people may have different opinions on this issue, and that's perfectly okay since everyone thinks differently. The key is to engage in open and respectful discussions that take into account various perspectives.
I agree with you ambitious_panther . And I do really think that the policy made by the Poland is fair . And giving health and education is very important . Also Poland didn’t see what the people were , they only supported them to grow and be intelligent.
And also helping someone is very important and this quality everyone should have . So I think Poland did the right thing in giving the opportunities to people by education …….
I also think that the Poland rule is fair ambitious_panther because after the war the Ukrainian citizens will most likely want to go back to their country. I also like the fact that Poland will provide temporary healthcare and education. The people psychological health care as refugees is very important. Receiving education is also very helpful so that returning to their country they can help to build on the infrastructure.
I think you are right ambitious_panther. Poland is doing a great job helping to Ukranian refugees because they have left their country becuase they are been invided by Russia (who might not support Poland's help to the Ukranian who have left their country because of them), and the best thing we can do to help Ukrania is helping their people that have probably lost their homes and they have difficulties to speak with other people because of the language, and that is exactly what Poland has done.
Now refering to Joe Biden, I think that if he imposes a limit for asylum seekers, he should also help them in another way like dividing them into different countries that want to help, so they keep safe and US eis not saturated with many people.
I agree with you, education is very necessary for the development of humans. Education is crucial in mentality and it helps people find it easier to avoid conflict, this could help the refugees avoid conflict with the native civilians.
I agree, Poland offered Ukrainian citizens education and basic facilities as they were in danger in their own country, while USA government imposed a limit on refugees. In this way, asylum seekers can be in great hazard, if they are sent back to their countries. Even though, I think that sometimes many people entering in a country has many defects as it's quite hard to handle a large population, but if people are threatened due to war, political issues or something else, it would be inhuman to sent them back is danger.
HELLO!
I think the policy in Germany is unfair because now asylum seekers will not be able to give their relatives money to live in the village. and if the asylum seekers don't give their relatives money, the relatives will not have money to buy food.
The policy in the USA is unfair, which means the number of asylum seekers will be limited from entering the country. This means the asylum seekers won't be able to get money for their families.
The people in Poland are nice because, they helped the people in Ukraine in tough times.
THANK YOU!
Hi Calm_cloud, Thank you for sharing your opinion, Do you think the average American would agree with your point of view? How do you balance the needs and desires of the existing population whilst being empathetic to the needs and desires of the migrants seeking a better life?
Hey! I wouldn't exactly call the policy in Germany unfair.
I mean, I understand the Asylum seekers need to send money to their relatives far off, but then, isn't it unfair to the people of Germany, that these seekers are earning money out of their country's resources, out of the charity made from their taxes and out of the kindness they bestowed to them and sending this money outside of the nation for their relatives? When a person sets foot on your countries soil, morally you become obliged to cater to their needs. However, the German Citizens are not obliged to protect the seeker's relative.
Their money is leaking out to people they are not even required to protect, while Asylum Seekers sleep on pavements because they don't have enough money. What does this make Germany seem on a Global Level? A country with no regards for Assylum Seekers because no one knows the complete.
I believe more than unfair, these people are just being patriotic, which is so respectable in it's own regards. But of course, I respect your point of view just the same. Perhaps Asylum Seekers themselves need to find a middle ground? Maybe send SOME money to their families and use the rest to survive better in the country?
Would it be fair to apply this rule to ALL people working in Germany, including German citizens?
Of course yes, all people must be treated equally, because no one is superior to the rule of law
Hey Tiff!
I don't think this act should become a rule that dominates the actions of all those involved in the German Workforce. The country belongs to them. Bank transactions today are the easiest modes for payment and highly convenient. All citizens do not deserve to be inconvenienced for an issue to which the government can work on finding alternatives. The nation belong to everyone living in it - Asylum seekers and citizens alike. Just because these people are legal citizens of the country does not make them automatically obliged to bear all the pain and pressure for the country. Hence, I believe that the German Government can find a roundabout route for solving this problem for the Asylum seekers than bind the citizens to a system of inconvenience by making this rule an act or a law.
I disagree and think that the USA policy is fair. I think Joe Biden set this law to prevent overpopulation in his own country. There is also to think about the unfairness there is to citizens of America and the impact of many migrating into the USA. It costs money, time and the migration is due to what's happening in their own country. I don't think it's their fault and it isn't fair for the people having to migrate but at the same time it wouldn't be fair on any other country who has to take millions in.
Interesting ideas. Do you think immigration has any advantages?
I think that the advantages of immigration are allowing people to have a safer life and future. For the people immigrating it might not have been their choice and had to leave a lot behind but they have a chance to live a much safer life, however immigrating has strong disadvantages as well. There are multiple disadvantages for both sides, the immigraters and the USA they're immigrating to. For example, immigrating to the USA would require almost up to $8,000 which is a huge amount of money for just a safer place to live. It also means there are less job options for everyone.
Firstly, why do you think that immigrants leave their home countries in the first place? Secondly, can you tell us where you found your evidence?
Hello there Chole, I would like to answer your question.
I do think that there are some advantages as well as disadvantages from immigration. Some of the advantages from immigration are that the country will have a bigger standard of living due to that immigrants work hard for the e people of the country can have the necessary needs with them. This was thank you to the immigrants. Also many of the immigrants grow crops and that’s how we have many food to eat.
From my point view this is an extremely agreeable opinion because the person that takes a desision to immigrate from
his country to another country, he's under pressure so countries like USA and Germany must have more mercy. I really appreciate Poland because it allowed the Ukrainian children to learn and to live in peace.
Honorable_language, thank you for your comment.
Poland has allowed Ukrainian children to come, but not children in other countries which are at war. Why do you think this is the case?
I think that this is because Ukraine is a neighbor to Poland so Poland allowed Ukrainian children to immigrate to them for education, treatment and to live in peace.
I think that if there is a country that has a war, the neighbor country of it must allow the children to immigrate to them because it is not the children's proplem to live in a country that has a war.
I disagree, Just because Germany give refuge to some asylum seekers, does it make it their responsibility to take care of their families and relatives too? While granting asylum doesn't necessarily mean taking care of entire families and relatives. Germany has the responsibility to manage their economies and care for their citizens too.
With regards to USA too, You may feel the policy unfair but its not possible for America to allow unlimited number of asylum seekers because once again it has to take care of its own economy and own citizens. If they allow a number of immigrants too, this might lead to over population of USA.
I disagree with you because, while it's good for asylum seekers to send money to their relatives to help, don't the relatives have jobs too? In Germany, asylum seekers can't get money to take care of themselves because of the new rule they had set unless they become German citizens. So, how would they be able to send money to them?
I agree because all the asylum seekers want is to provide for their families that are in the countries that they left, if they are not allowed to do that, then their families would have to fend for themselves and that is not a good way to leave your family after you leave the country.
Most asylum seekers leave their countries to have a fresh start in life or to get better job opportunities, if the USA isnot allowing them to do that how are they supposed to make money to provide for themselves and/or their families.
I feel that President Joe Biden not allowing asylum seekers is really unfair because according to my researched, I learnt that there is nearly 1 billion square feet of vacant space in America. If he was to put himself into their shoes now how would he feel? Imagine there is a war occurring in your country and you notice that there is a country with enough space, when you finally arrive, you are pushed out for no valuable reason. Some of these people face lot of difficulty just trying to arrive there just for them to pushed out in denial. They are also human beings like you and I who deserve a chance to live and have a future, so I feel it is very very unfair not to allow asylum seekers in.
This is an interesting point, reflective_cymbals. Do you think that, if President Biden allowed it, immigrants would want to live in the vacant space in the US? What do you think might be some of the drawbacks of that?
Yes I feel that if he allows it, the immigrants would gladly come in. I probably think that the drawbacks might be very few but let me just try to say what I think. Firstly, I feel that their attitude might have a negative affect which could cause conflict between them and the indigenes. Secondly, there might be unfair treatment on either the immigrants or the citizens. Thirdly and probably lastly, it could possibly increase the rate of unemployment in the country. Through all these facts that I have stated above, it shows that everything has a good and bad side and this might even probably have more good than bad.
I can see the point you are making. What other parameters do you think are relevant in designing an immigration policy? While the land may be aware, it is the infrastructure that may not be in place? For example, schools, medical facilities, economic (job) opportunities.
I feel joe Biden law is fair , because those immigrants will only cause more problem in his country,this people came to other country because their country is not doing well economically.he is passing this law in other to keep his people save.if all migrant are allowed their is possibility that they can also cause problem in his country.the best solution is for them to find solution to their problem and seek assistant from other countries instead of migrating and disturbing people peace and adding to their financial budget.
It will make people if the country they are migrating to feel insecure and deprived of freedom.the migrant also will be restricted to some things.
So I think joe Biden passed a fair judgement.
I strongly disagree with this comment as we benefit from immigrants in many ways. Immigrants pay taxes, purchase stuff, and may even start businesses helping us economically. Even so, I understand your point as you believe that they will cause problems in our country. This is a reasonable point as they might come from a bad country or environment. Although, I believe that instead of not letting people migrant at all, they should let certain people come to our country; people who we can benefit from such as people who are capable of helping our economy or people who are seeking education.
You make some great points admirable_butterfly!
Is there such thing as a 'bad country'?
I agree with you. I think that Joe Biden's policy is fair. I understand that if you don't want people from outside your country to enter it then that is totally understandable. I think that immigrates may cause more problems. But maybe if a few immigrates came to America it wouldn't effect the country that much. I think that your right admirable butterfly. Even though, the immigrates could purchase items and help businesses grow like unique expression said I still think that if you don't want people from outside your country to enter it then that's fine.
Hello,
I disagree with your opinion. I mostly believe immigrants have done more good than bad. I do understand that citizens in the US might feel more threatened by immigrants than welcoming, but they are only focusing on the bad, and the good outweighs the bad. Immigrants are the ones feeding most Americans because they are dominating fieldwork. Not only that, There are a lot of immigrants building this country's houses, roads, and buildings, and there would be a huge difference in the US if their hard work suddenly disappeared. Because of immigrants, the US is how it is today. Also, most immigrants aren't here to threaten US citizens, they are here in search of a better life.
I think that the last two policies are quite fair. If too many migrants are trying to enter a country, it will lead to increase in population and this can have adverse effects on the country if they are not ready to cater for all of the migrants and the citizens. It makes sense that a president would want to put his citizens first. The policy seems fair because it is stated that too much migrants should trigger the closing of the borders. This means that people will still be allowed into the country. The policy will only come into effect when too many people migrate into the country. If not the borders will remain completely open.
Moreover, i think Poland did a really good thing by offering Ukrainian refugees protection. They even went as far as to provide education and healthcare. This is really good. Even though it is temporary, it is still a really good way to help. I think they decided to make it temporary because channeling most of their resources to helping the refugees for too long could affect the resources they have to take care of their own citizens. Nevertheless, they decided to give them protection until things in their own country get better. This policy is totally fair.
You say that it makes sense that the US president would want to put his citizens first, and at the same time, Poland is doing a good thing by welcoming Ukrainian refugees. What differences do you see between the immigrants and the refugees that make it important to protect the refugees but not the immigrants?
Well, first of all refugees are people who seek help by running away from their resident country. Immigrants on the other hand might not have a particularly bad reason to run away from their country. This means that refugees should be held in higher regard since they have been affected by a negative situation. Moreover too many immigrants can have adverse effects since some of them don't even have a solid reason to leave their country, they just see the need to leave. Refugees on the other hand need help and they go to other countries to seek for it. All refugees can be considered as immigrants but not all immigrants can be considered as refugees. Refugees are people whose human rights are being infringed upon, affected by war or going through serious economic hardship. This means they need more help then any mere immigrant that just decided to move. I think it is paramount to help refugees.
Well, I think that German's policy is unfair because of the fact that many immigrants came to their country for a better means of livelihood and these immigrants need to send money back to their homes, many Nigerians have immigrated to new countries to earn and send back to their families in their hometowns so stopping them from sending money to their families is unfair because that is a major reason for immigration.
I think that America's policy is fair and just, research shows that the U.S.A is the fourth largest country in the world, but it has the highest number of immigrants in the world, so closing their borders controls the number of immigrants in their country and reduces over population.
I also think that Poland's policy is heart touching and shows that there are still kind people in the world, now Ukrainian refugees have free access to homes, hospitals, food and education, I know that this policy will improve the relationship between the two countries, and it will also promote peace.
Thank You for hearing my views.
I think that the Poland policies are actually quite considerate and fair. Their neighboring country which is Ukraine is in a time of need and the offered to support them not minding the economic effects it has on them. I think that the citizens of Poland might think differently because of the situation that Ukraine is in. They might think that helping Ukraine is a way of also dragging Poland into the war. From a Polish citizen perspective, they do want to help, but they do not want to get in trouble with the Russians.
Hi!
In my perspective,I think some things about each country's immigration rules are fair, and some are unfair.
For example, Germany's rule to give asylum seekers a special card instead of money is fair because it stops people from using the money in the wrong way. But it's also seem unfair to me because it limits what asylum seekers can do with their own money.
President Biden's idea to close borders if too many people try to enter seems fair because it could control who comes in. But it also seems unfair because it could make it harder for people who need safety to find it.
Poland helping Ukrainian refugees is fair because it's kind. But it's also unfair if it doesn't help everyone who needs it or if it's only temporary.
Thank you!
This is a very balanced comment, agreeable_aspect. Do you think any of these pros or cons outweigh the others? Is there one policy that you would definitely support, despite the shortcomings?
Hi Sarah @ The Economist,
For me,It's challenging to determine one of the immigration policy because the positives and negatives of each often outweigh each other. Balancing aid for those in need with ensuring national security is crucial. Therefore, it's about selecting policies where the benefits outweigh the drawbacks as much as possible.
Thank you!
Hi,
To me the most fair policy is that of Poland, what they did for the Ukrainian refugees really gladdened my heart and I appreciate them for showing such remarkable compassion. What they have done is really great and it would change the lives of many people(Ukrainian refugees). The impact of the Russian invasion into Ukraine really did a lot of damage to their country and people whether physically or mentally, most of them had lost hope because the damage that was done seemed impossible to fix, but now because of this one act of Poland many of them have now been given a second chance to build a better life for themselves. After seeing this topic I decided to research more about it especially on what Poland did and I found out that they have provided a lot of opportunities and platforms for the refugees to get back a sense of livelihood, like providing job opportunities for them, by giving them a temporary place to stay, and also providing them with health care services. What Poland has done shows support and compassion and I hope that we as one world would try to learn from this example and not subject ourselves to disputes.
Thank you!
I believe Poland's policy of offering refuge to victims of the Russia - Ukraine war is pretty fair. It is an act of wonderful kindness where a country not related to Ukraine is offering them support at a time like these, including education and healthcare services. It is truly important to offer support to war victims - not simply refuge, but also education and proper healthcare services.
If the world unites together, we can at least make this world a better place for people to survive. After all Nelson Mandela did say "How do we change the world? One random act of a kindness at a time".
Germany's act of kindness is highly inspiring too. The citizens are ready to ignore their temporary inconvenience to ensure a better life for the Asylum Seekers. It is wonderful to see the citizens taking this initiative of their own accord without any government interference. With all due respect, hats off to the German Citizens for their deed of kindness.
However, I am not completely in support of the Unites State's president trying to limit the number of Asylum seekers entering the country. While I do understand the sentiment, I do not believe it right of a country as developed and as safe as the USA preventing those in need of protection and safeguarding entering the country. Are all migrants a threat? Is there such shortage of resources in the United States of America that people would die of starvation if asylum seekers are to partake in their food resources? The idea of such bill coming from the country of Paul Harris and Angelina Jolie is ironic...
It is a world super power's responsibility to protect those in need, not bar them from seeking protection.
Can you challenge yourself to consider a different perspective on any of the examples you've looked at. Why might someone think differently to you?
I think I would like to look at Germany's example from a different perspective. Asylum Seekers are immigrants who have certain responsibilities towards their families. Hence, maybe prohibiting them from taking care of their families for national security reasons is unfair towards them. German citizens and governments need to understand that these people suffer to help their families earn a single meal a day...
Therefore, I think German Citizens preventing Asylum seekers from sending money to their families is unfair towards them... I think those people who would disagree with me would do so because they have seen the troubles of Asylum seekers more up - close than I have. Hence, they understand this pain better than I do, in contrast, to understanding the pain of normal law-abiding citizens.
Everyone has a different perspective on issues that have 2 sides, because they have personally felt the pain of 1 aspect to some extent, and not felt the other aspect as much...
To clarify, enthusiastic_honeydew, anyone who earns money in Germany is still free to send it to their families. The card-based payment system referred to above only relates to welfare payments to asylum-seekers for basics like food and clothing, and those payments are financed through taxes. If you consider this from the point of view of German tax-payers, why might they think the card-based payment system is fairer?
In my opinion, Joe Biden is much more appropriate. His point of view is much more valid than others, he tried to pass a law that limits the number of immigrants in a country, which is much sensible. An increased number of immigrants can be a problem for a country as an increased no of people can cause a shortage of resources, employment, quality education and it could cause security breaches too. Biden’s decision might seem to be unfair to the willing immigrants.
Meanwhile, Poland’s decision is also good but it isn’t practically possible because you can’t provide food, education, shelter, and security to almost a whole country as no one is happy with the war and don't want to live in a place that is turning into a graveyard. Poland’s decision can be seen as a burden for the citizens of Poland.
By the way, I am totally against the decision of the German cities as the asylum seekers should be allowed to transfer money to their relatives in their native country as they might want to come to Germany but failed to do so. Then in that case their relatives who reached Germany would try to help them financially but due to these practices, they won’t be able to do so.
I disagree with your comment and I think the policy made by the German government is very useful for the development of the country because of the following two reasons:
1) Digitalization - Introducing card payments will help the government cope with the digital world and help it improve its economy. It will also bring transparency in transactions so that no illegal amount can be transferred.
2) This policy will allow Germany to create a safeguard against unethical transactions by the immigrants so that they cannot disrupt the GDP of Germany.
Hi!
In my opinion all the three countries Poland ,USA and Germany's policy regarding immigration is correct because if there is someone like a terrorist, escaped prisoner or a smuggler enters the country then it would be proven to be dangerous for such countries, in fact all the country such immigration will eventually harm global peace. In the case Germany I think its a good and safe decision made by the government as this would reduce any type of fraudulence or robbery, but its also unfair at the same time like what if an immigrant is struggling to make ends meet and needs some amount so he/she is asking for financial support but the person willing to help can't help and this would make his/her life even more miserable and they also might get involved in criminal activities and make others life a living hell ,then the police will catch them and the cycle will go on.
In the case of USA its good that they are allowing only a certain number of refuges but according me this isn't fair as then a million hopes for a better life, education and job opportunities will be crushed under the tag of an immigrant, and the hope for a better future will be crushed , many people will also start exploiting and discriminating against these immigrants hence hurting their dignity.
In the case of Poland the government has performed the act of humanity by helping war-struck people who are not even their citizens. I think that all the countries should learn from the same .
I think that the U.S. policy is fair because if the population becomes too high that can cause problems for the economy. My country does not need anymore dabt for paying for too many people's housing , health care , and basic needs. I think that it would be wrong if they stopped the immgrants from coming all together permanently. I agree with Russia because it provides basic needs till they can go back or become citizens. I do not Germany because it is wrong that they cannot give money to their family members back in their home country, not everyone can make it out of a country at war or for other reasons.
Fun_mandarin, thank you for your comment.
How should it be decided that the U.S population has become too high?
It should be decided that the U.S population has become too high when they cannot provide needs of the country. When there are shortages in food, clothes, water, and housing.
I feel that the Poland rule is fair because people are also included in war, not just soldiers. I think it is great that Poland is offering Ukrainian refugees protection. It is hard to try to get back on your feet after running away from war. Many people lost their lives and homes during the war. Children were also involved and they needed to learn. Everyone deserves to have somewhere to live and food to eat. Also, everyone deserves an education.
I feel like with Poland's rule it is fair because If a country I support is getting invaded I would also try to assist them. Even though they have the risk of Russia invading them also they still are helping out the Ukrainians because everyone deserves healthcare and education. So I think that Poland's support for Ukraine was a positive thing and that is fair and I'm glad they aren't left in the dust.
I believe that Joe Biden is doing the most appropriate thing to do in such situations. He is showing compassion to the immigrants while maintaining the dignity and the decorum of the country. Too many immigrants can later prove to be a threat to the economy of the government. The number of immigrants arriving in a country is inversely proportional to the speed of depletion of resources for a country.
I partially agree with the polish government too, but as discussed earlier, too many immigrants can be a threat to the country.
In my opinion Poland polices are fair because it is going to help the country by providing foods to the needy and the healthcare to the people who need them.I would accept this offer because I know my country needs it and the offer Poland offered to Ukraine was really good Wich could enhance their security.
I believe that Poland actually did the best they could which is totally fair, because providing education for children and healthcare is so cool that Poland actually did a great job
I agree because... because providing education for children and health care is good . So we'll done attentive_meteor
It's great to hear your agreement! Investing in education and healthcare for children is indeed vital for their well-being and future success. Attentive_meteor seems to be doing a commendable job in this regard.
According to me, each of these policies being "fair" or "unfair" depends from which perspective it is being viewed.
In the first situation, the policy is fair towards the people of Germany as ensuring the prevention of transfer of money prevents the resources and money of Germany being wasted as ultimately, if an immigrant has settled in Germany, then they should work towards the development of that nation otherwise Germany is only in loss as they have an extra head to which they have to provide resources to, but they are not benefitting from it. But to the immigrant, this policy may be unfair.
Similarly , in the cases of USA and Poland as well, it depends from which point of view is the story being viewed. In the case of USA, the policy is not fair to the immigrants, but to the people of USA. In Poland as well, the case is same but this time, the policy is more befitting to the immigrants.
So in a nutshell, the policies being fair or unfair totally depends on a person's perspective. However, it is important to understand the fact that in such a situation, nobody is wrong. President Joe Biden's decision has also been ultimately taken as he concerned for his nation and its resources and people. But the people also are not wrong for considering this to be unfair. In this situation, there's no clear right or wrong; fair or unfair; it is all subjective.
Thank you
Although nobody might be wrong, policies need to be made. What skills and knowledge will help people make reasonable decisions on immigration policy?
Hi!
I totally agree with the policy because we all know that if people in the country began to increase it is not easy for the government to fulfill everybody's need and also if there is large number of population in a country it cause pollution, traffic jams etc. We don't know whether the people who are immigrants are sufficient for the government regarding the rules and regulations. It can cause a great trouble to the country.
I wholeheartedly agree with you calm maths ,because immigration is an issue that demands serious attention. Apart from the pollution they cause, people might think that immigrants may contribute to the economy through tax payments because of the population, the drawbacks often outweigh the benefits. There's a risk of them becoming informants for hostile entities, potentially leading to security concerns .
According to me the policies of Poland and Germany are very good and in favor of humanity, because due to the war many Ukrainian lives were destroyed and this kind of support from Poland is highly appreciable , this will gain Poland certain international benefits and trust among other countries . But on other side, some problems can arise, like economic constraints , depletion of resources, and security concerns as these regurgitation belong to country in war. But still, this is very nice and there can surely be some major advantages in future with some potential big disadvantages.
But what Germany is doing is not only beneficial for the county p country but also for the asylum seekers, as now the money will always go into the right and needful hands, and no resources will wasted making it easier for asylum seekers to access resources easily with a well organized SYSTEM of support.
I'm not comfortable with your last points in the last last paragraph. Being an asylum seeker doesn't imply having a bad reputation in your home country, and sending money to help family members in need isn't inherently problematic for Germany
as a developed country. Besides, I don't think the asylum seekers are up to 25% of Germany's population.
Thanks..
This is the complete one, however I unintentionally emailed the incomplete one:
I think what Poland did was quite fair, and I'm so proud of it that I think nobody should be able to feel unfairly treated because, if it were one of us, I'm sure we would want the same treatment as they gave the Ukrainian children.
And I believe that Joe Biden's actions were unjust since I don't understand why he only selected a specific number of individuals to travel to Rwanda.
Additionally, there may be times when you must travel to Rwanda due to an emergency and Joe Biden has already decided how many people will travel there; in these cases, at the end you wouldn't make it there.
But maybe he has a main reason for doing that.
I think, the Poland temporarily
helping Ukrainian refugees is a fair policy. The refugees of Ukraine needed help because they were affected by the war happening in the country. So, when Poland helped them they finally could live peacefully and safely in Poland. The refugees of Ukraine also got different health care services and educational services which helped them to live a better life. I think Joe Biden policy is unfair because this will create a border between many families and immigrants and their families would be separated from each other.
I think it's only fair in the perspective of increasing population of the USA and decrease the population between immigrants countries.
I agree with Joe Biden's decision. Letting refugees and immigrants into your country can come with lots of losses.
It can put pressure on schools and healthcare, as the population increases due to welcoming immigrants to your country, it puts pressure on schools and hospitals because they will have to teach and treat many patients and students whiles getting underpaid. What I mean by they will be getting underpaid is since the population increases, they would not be able to pay people well because there will be far too many workers.
Additionally, letting immigrants into your country can unfold language and cultural barriers, because if an immigrant comes into your country, they will of course speak their own language and it will course a lot of confusion.
Thank you!
Interesting ideas. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?
Thank you for your request. I did a little research and asked my teachers, friends and family.
Where did you find your research? What kind of sites did you use? How do you know that such sites are reliable?
I believe that Poland's policy is fair. I feel that itis fair because it is the most helpful out of all of them. It is the most logical to help instead of hurt the people that are also human. The second one is the most unfair because people deserve to be able to get over bordars when needed or if they want to get away from where they are at that moment. I think that the Germany one is not logical because people should have the freedom of being able to send money to their loved ones if needed be.
I feel like the fair one is after Russia invaded Ukraine Poland offered Ukrainian refugees temporary protection. I feel like this is fair because if Ukrainian didn't have somewhere to go true people would have died. the one that is unfair is Joe Biden closing in the Border. I believe this to be unfair because what if people across the road are coming to the Border in their traveling days months and or even years to get to the Border just to realize it is shut down.
Hello everybody,
I believe that the government of Poland are fair because all of the people in Ukraine are just fighting for their loves where as Russia are fighting for Ukraine's land. The refugees from Ukraine should be welcomed with open hearts from the country that they are escaping too. If I was a refugee then that was less than what I would of expected when I moved but to let us live our lives out to the fullest and give them the education that they need and the essentials that we need in life than that is more than I would hope for.
When having the education that we need it can help us get jobs in the future. Although Joe Biden is trying to help his country,I think that what he is doing is wrong. I know that Joe Biden is doing all he can but I believe that he should allow migrants(people from other countries)to cone to the country for safety and if there is no more room in the country then allow them the chance to live somewhere else that is safe. For example,he could provide them with Visa's or give them the money to travel somewhere different.
who do you think should decide whether or not a country is 'safe', champion_dragonfruit?
Hello,
I think that it's up to the refugees that are deciding where to go and whether its safe or not but I think that it's the government's responsibility for making sure that people feel welcomed.I know that they can't help with the natural causes(for example volcanic explosions , earthquakes etc)but maybe if they all work together then they could make the refugees feel welcome and feel that they have a sense of belonging.
Thank you for responding to my comments.
I agree with what Joe Biden is doing ,These are the reasons why I agree with Joe Biden:
1. The immigrants will steal jobs from the citizens:
If I was also the president of America i would not allow immigrates to come into my country, this might not benefit some American citizens, immigrates might come into the country and steal jobs from the American citizens.
2. The immigrants lower the wages:
The employment of immigrants will cause the government to give smaller wages to workers, because there would be too many people working, so if the government is to give equal wages it will affect the country.
In conclusion I think it is fair that Joe Biden is not allowing immigrants to enter America.
Well done for giving reasons for your opinion. You say "immigrants will steal jobs" but I'm not sure this is true in all cases. In some places, jobs are advertised and the posts aren't filled - the local people do not want the work. In this case, would an immigrant be "stealing" the job from a local person?
Hello Olivia, I would like to answer your question,
I don't think that an immigrant would be "stealing" the job from a local person. Because if the local person would have wanted the job they would already be working and not waiting for another person to get it. So, I think that they are not stealing. They are just getting the job because they need it more than anyone.
I feel that Poland's offer to Ukraine is the fairest, because Ukraine was and still is in a war against Russia, so allowing its citizens to leave for at least the time being is fair. I think this because allowing free healthcare and housing can improve many ukrainians that were in the middle of the war's lives.
In my opinion, Joe biden's policies are the most unfair. I believe this because America is known for being one of the lands of opportunities, so limiting the people coming to it is unfair for the people trying to go there. Borders shutting down could change the course of lives of people trying to get a better life.
I believe that President Joe Biden policies are fair because if he let too many immigrants in the country there would not be enough shelter, food, and basic resources for everyone. They also would not be able to educate every single person. This is overpopulation and when you don't have enough resources to make sure each person is healthy they die and people who don't want to die steal or are considered beggars. Overall too many people in one area can cause many problem.
Interesting ideas. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?
I feel that Joe Biden's policy is unfair because of the harm that it can do to families just seeking better lives. For those unfamiliar with the term, seeking "asylum" means to seek protection from serious human rights violations or prosecution. This is the very reason why immigrants search for refuge in the US. It's known for its great opportunities and way of life. But it's not just immigrants who benefit from this however, tons of the US's revenue comes from hardworking immigrants doing better with their lives. The US actually makes more money with them vs without them. If this were to stop, the US would lose its benefits. Not only is it morally unethical for the people to have opportunities snatched from them, but it would also damage the US and it's already plummeting monetary value.
Assertive_banana, thank you for your comment.
You say that the monetary value of the US is plummeting. Could you please give more detail on this?
I think the most unfair polices is the new law Joe Biden made because he does not know the purpose of their immigration. Which can be as a result of
1. War
2. Famine
3. Outbreak of diseases
4. Insecurity
5. Desiring to live a better live
6. To get better education
When the borders are closed;
1. People will get angry and be more desperate to leave the country because they cannot see their relatives.
2. There is Reduction of population
If people are going to start a new life there and a census takes place, a lot of immigrants are sent back thereby causing decrease in the population of the country.
3. Waste of money
When people get to the borders and they are sent back to there country, they will spend a lot of money going back to their country.
All these can make people to start boycotting the US goods. It can also make governments to stop importing US products.
This got me thinking, active-coconut: should everyone everywhere have the right to emigrate to another country in search of a good education or a better life? What’s stopping us from having open borders and allowing free movement everywhere?
hii
In my opinion the policy of Joe Biden is correct because we already are aware that the population of a country is growing rapidly while the resources are also depleting at a rapid rate therefore it is important for a country to decide which people's need it has to primarily focus on that is it has to prioritize it's own people before offering shelter and opportunities to others, some people might disagree with this stating that every human should be given equal treatments and rights but the fact is things don't always work like that sometimes you have no other choice but to choose your own people over others and that is what America did and I completely support it for the same.
I see how Joe BIden may have a point because the USA may not have all the support needed for so many people and the last thing we need is to be over populated and not have the sufficient amount of sources to provide for them and overall would be bad for the country. But we also need to take in the fact that immigrants come to USA for a better life and opportunities because they were probably struggling with starvation, work opportunities, the weather etc. immigrants just want a chance at more and better opportunities, but there are a lot of pros and cons to this topic. Let me know what you guys think!
Hii, the steps taken by Poland appear completely fair to me as there is a difference between Refugees and Immigrants, Immigrants are the people who voluntarily leave their country while Refugees are forced to do the same due to varied circumstances, the situation of Ukrainians is the same with war going on and their normal lives coming to a stop they had no choice but to leave the country and Poland offering them shelter to stay as well as providing them with basic services is a appreciable act and I don't think anyone will disagree with the same unless they have a different perspective about the situation.
Thank You !!
Personally I think that the decision Joe Biden is making is alittle unfair due to the fact that the U.S.A has alot of places for asylum seekers to go. Though he made this decision and I still think its alittle unfair after seeing it from another side of a person its looking to be alittle fair due to the fact that if alot of people actually do end up migrating to the U.S.A it may cause alot of overpopulation. Which would actually cause problems for the U.S.A rather than helping. So after looking at it from both perspectives I can say the Biden had chosen the option that would benefit the U.S.A rather than that outside of it and you can't blame him entirely since his entire job is to make decision to help the U.S.A.
Thank you
I think the second option is unfair. Reducing the amount of people who can come through the border is wrong. What if my country was in a bad state and I had to leave immediately. With that new law I would have to stay in the land i live in with fear because I would possibly have to wait another day to leave because other people have already left.Another example could be a family emergency what if i had a family member with a health problem on the other country and I was next of kin and i was not allowed to go see my family member because of that law. This would make me sad and upset knowing I cant do what i need to do to save or help them and this would impact them very bad because now no one can make that tough decision for them.
I think the 3rd option about Poland is unfair.If you offer free health care,education, and you are able to request housing you should not be allowed to get temporary protection. You should at least have the option to move there permanently since you have the option to request housing. What if there is nothing back in ukraine for me to go to.What if I am a single parent who is struggling even before the war.How bad would these effects be towards me since I am already in such a predicament.Poland would also benefit from people being their to.With the more that come the increase in the population.This means that the economy can potentially start making more money since they can start profiting off of more people
I think Joe Biden's rule is unfair because an aslum seeker woud not just ask for help for no reason, there must be some danger around them to make them need help. What Poland is doing is actually very good and it is amazing just how much they care, the fact that it is temporary doesn't mean it is still not a great thing to do. Education is important and the fact that the Ukrainian children's education is supported by Polland makes it even better because nothing should be able to stop people from getting a good education. Germany is being unfair because the only reason aslum seekers need to transfer money is to support their families in their dangerous homelands and hopefully to keep them safe and fed.
I strongly think the policy which is the fairest to me would be more cities in Germany moving towards a card-based system for support, because it stops asylum seekers to stop transferring money to others, and this will help people get their money safely, because I am sure when they were using the bank payment strategy their money was being sent to other people. I believe the policy that feels unfair would-be Joe Biden shutting down the borders if too many migrants are in the country, because there are a lot of people in his country (U.S.A) and I am sure the people in his country also have other family members or friends elsewhere, so what if a family member wants to find a good job in your country or just wants to visit their family relatives, they won't be able to do that, because Joe Biden shut down the borders.
I think shutting down the borders would still allow for holidays, just not permanent trips.
I agree because... if the borders of a country have been closed, it means any outsider will not be able to enter the country, but if you are from that country, you can take trips, but you must return back to your country, because you are a citizen in that country.
I think that Joe Biden is being generous to let a small amount of immigrates into America. If more immigrates enter America then the population would keep on growing. Therefore, there will be a lot more bills and fees to pay. So I think Americas policies are fair. I also think that Poland policies are fair.I think that Poland is being very supportive to the immigrates. Not only do they let immigrates into their country but they also give them essential things like health care and education.
Thank you for reading!
For me, what Poland did feels more than just fair. The refugees from Ukraine definitely needed help. In just a very small amount of time, their lives took an unexpected turn. Romania did something similar. Many hotels offered them rooms and food for free. The kids were accepted into schools, so they could continue their education. It was hard, of course, because they didn't really know the language. However, I have noticed that the children still went to school, daily. I was honestly surprised to see how determined they were to not allow the war to completely ruin their lives. It made me think about the war horrors that probably marked those children for life. Many only left with their mothers, because their fathers couldn't leave their country. They were forced to fight.
It made me wonder, what if they wouldn't have been welcomed in any country, what would have happened to them? I personally think that those who seek help should also receive it. The immigrants didn't actually wish to leave their country. They were forced to, because of the war. They were trying to find a way to survive, to feed their children. I believe that this is a very sensitive topic, which must be treated with the highest of seriousness. I think that another great reason to accept war refugees in your country is the fact that were you in their place, you would have wished for them to do the same for you. Sympathy is crucial in this matter. Not mercy, not pity. Sympathy.
I believe that Germany’s rules are unfair because the people who need asylums will not be able to transfer money to their relatives as they are starting to have a card - based system instead of bank payments and their relatives will not be able to send money to them if they need money.
On the other hand, I think that Poland’s policy is very fair because when the war between Russia and Ukraine started it was havoc and most likely children didn’t want to go outside so Poland decided to give Ukrainian kids an education, healthcare and housing temporarily to keep Ukrainians safe. Additionally, I think that Joe Biden’s idea is fair because if too many people are going to the asylums in America the people who got there first will be too cramped and the will be no space. Also if lots of people go to asylums in the USA they will possibly have to build more asylums which will cost America lots of money that they could’ve used for more product able things and stuff that help people when injured.
I think that Poland and the United States' policies are the fairest. In America, if way too many immigrants come then the government will be pushed to pay healthcare and education for every single immigrant. That is not feasible.
From an immigrant's perspective, this is very unfair because families could be torn apart. Imagine if you and your mother are immigrants and they only let you pass, you will probably tear apart the border guard with your bare hands.
In Poland, I mostly think that supporting their neighbors is very fair, but some Poland citizens don't want to involve Poland with the war. Also, why the exceptionalism? There are plenty of immigrants in the world, why does Poland only significantly help Ukrainian refugees?
Germany's policies are very unfair. Most immigrants come to a country to provide for their loved ones that are in their home country. Making a card-based system makes immigrants unable to provide for their loved ones back at their home.
But they may be justified. A card based-system makes sure that immigrants are spending that money on base essentials. Also, some people may pretend to be immigrants to get free support from the country.
In my opinion 2nd and 3rd policies are fair, and I'd like to explain why for each of them:
President Joe Biden of America tried to pass a new agreement that says the borders can be shut down if too many migrants are trying to enter the country and many news articles have also reported that another 1,300 additional Border Patrol agents, 375 immigration judges and 1,600 asylum officers are to be added in the southern border.
This means that the government want to stop, access and control the flow of people across borders, especially for the country of Mexico where many individuals can create various problems. Many armed murder cases have taken place by immigrants from Mexico in the US so as a countermeasure to stop this violence, this law has been passed. A high number of migrants arriving at the borders can easily spend all the resources and damage the infrastructure of the country. Sometimes closing the border might be done to manage resources. For example: processing facilities, people, and support services. Making measures to control and close borders is also a way to improve border security. Other things like illegal border crossings, human trafficking, and the smuggling of items can also be reduced by the tightening of the border of the US.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Poland offered Ukrainian refugees temporary protection, healthcare and free education for the children. It shows Poland's commitment to provide help and support to those affected by violence which they didn't deserve. Supporting refugees with essential services like healthcare, education, and housing can make the ties of the 2 countries stronger and support each other in the future. Poland also understands that the Ukrainians didn't want this war and as a sign of friendship and empathy provided aid for them in a time of need. For the well-being of the people, when Russia invaded Ukraine, many suffered, and Poland did the right thing to save the people.
Keeping an open mind, I decided to look at the mentioned immigration policies from two points of view; the migrants' point of view and the country (and its citizens) that they are migrating to.
For the first policy, I did my research and found out that even though this policy seems unfair and maybe irrational, the reason the German government did this was due to concerns that the immigrants may be misusing the money to finance smugglers of people. They were just concerned about the condition of their society. If too many people migrate to their country, it may cause problems like overpopulation, increase in crime rate and need for a bigger budget to accommodate everyone living there. I found that Germany even has reception centers that refugees and migrants can stay, where their basic needs are taken care of. But immigrants may find this unfair, as not all of them use the money for illegal activities. Some may even be using that money to support their families abroad.
Joe Biden's law seems unfair to asylum seekers, but the law is mainly to eradicate illegal migration. They have their reasons for wanting to shut down borders. They are also avoiding the implications of having too many citizens in a place. Anybody that wants to relocate to America will have go go through the standard legal processes for doing so. But for immigrants, especially refugees, who are running away from danger, being turned away when running for their lives almost seems inhumane.
Poland, however, did a very good thing for Ukrainian asylum seekers. Helping them provide basic necessities of life ans even education is an amazing example of service to humanity.
Well done on this balanced and thoughtful summary, invogorated_anteater. I like that you have tried to see all the arguments from both points of view.
I think that immigration is both fair and unfair. People who come to America or any other country to have a better life have to start over. In America many people are immigrating now, but don't get what they wanted and are now living and being treated badly. I think it's unfair to be treated like you don't belong, but you shouldn't put yourself in a situation where you're always the victim.
Can you explain what you mean by "you shouldn't put yourself in a situation where you're always the victim"?
People must clearly know that the American government is directly trying to stop people from coming into the country by blocking off the border or making rules more strict. People keep coming in for a new better life, but some of them clearly know that the government doesn't want them. I'm not saying that they don't deserve to come. In fact I think they should be able to live better! Though, if you have to go through so much just as make it to America or any other place in general.
I think.......
Determining the fairness of policies involves considering various perspectives and values. Here's an analysis of the policies mentioned:
Card-Based System in Germany:
Fairness: It aims to prevent financial support misuse and ensures resources are used for the intended recipients.
Unfairness: It may limit the autonomy of asylum seekers, assuming potential financial misuse without individual assessment.
Border Closure in the U.S.:
Fairness: It may be seen as an attempt to manage immigration and allocate resources effectively.
Unfairness: It raises concerns about limiting access to asylum, potentially disregarding the individual circumstances and rights of those seeking refuge.
Poland's Protection for Ukrainian Refugees:
Fairness: Offering protection, education, and healthcare is a compassionate response during a crisis.
Unfairness: Access to housing and resources might be limited, and there may be challenges.
Public opinion on fairness can vary based on values, humanitarian principles, and perspectives on national security. It's essential to consider the human rights and individual needs of asylum seekers.
Thank you.
Can you explain what you mean by "individual assessment" in your comment about the US border closure?
I believe that Joe Biden's American immigration policy is unfair because shutting down borders may prevent many individuals from entering the country. They may have their reasons but those individuals denied access to the US are mostly people in dire need so shutting them out shows a lack of empathy.
I admire Poland for offering assistance to Ukrainians in need. This assistance shows their compassion for their needy neighbors. I am sure that the Ukrainian refugees will also contribute positively to their host countries. Thank you👍.
Hi ,
I personally think the Poland one is the most fair . This is because you don't know everybody story so allowing them to stay for a while should not cause any harm . We could start doing this in the UK by having select camps and areas for them to stay until they get back on their feet .
On the other hand i think the most unfair one is the one where immigrants from your country can't send money back to family . I think it is the most unfair as families may split so they can help one another . We see this in data as of 2018 work and study are the leading reasons for immigration making up 71% . So stooping them for sending money could have a really bad after effect .
How might it feel to be told to stay in a specific camp or area, as per your suggestion? Does thinking from a different perspective make you think any differently about your idea?
Hello Katie,
I think that People don't like closed cages, they want to fly and learn in the open air. Human are creature that craves freedom and comfort. So if people are told to be strictly confined to a certain area or camp, they will have a hard time adapting because they are not used to that particular environment. But at the same time, I think it's very important to limit immigration because you have to understand that if a person moves from one country to another, if we just let these people move freely. Because it can cause a lot of problems like crime rates and overpopulation, you know competition in employment areas and so on, so I think it's important to limit these people to the area, but at the same time I think these people should have Great opportunity to live there, they shouldn't have to live like refugees. Overall, I think immigration is fair, but at the same time I think countries should also be cautious about immigration because it can cause great harm to the country and its civilians and people. Therefore creating restriction for the immigrant people is fair What we have to remember that these people should also be treated fairly and we should not disrespect them
Hello Katie ,
Thank you so much for your question . When you put it like it does make me think a bit differently about it . I feel like it might be demoralizing for the immigrants coming over to the UK .
On the other hand to that I was suggesting that if they were only staying for a little amount of time and then they would be moved on to go wherever they want .
Thank you .
I think that Poland did a very nice job by offering Ukrainian refugees temporary protection and shelter. The Ukrainian people left their country to save their lives and took shelter in Poland. The Poland government make arrangement for housing, education and healthcare for them, helped them in their needs. Bangladesh government also did the same thing by providing shelter to almost one million Myanmar refugee. By giving temporary shelter to them, they are protecting the human rights of those people, they are helping them to lead a stable life. In Bangladesh, the refugee almost covered the southern part creating population problem. But it is a matter of sorrow that those people are unable to go back to their own country because the government are not accepting them. As a result, we are facing overpopulation problem in the southern part of Bangladesh. Since, at the time of emergency we helped them, so the country must take step to return its citizen after everything become stable to repay the kindness. Otherwise, the helping country we face problem. So, for this reason, I think Poland should make an agreement that the refugee has to return their own country once everything is settled down. During this time period, the refugee people need to work and earn their livelihood, the children will be able to continue their study, everyone has to contribute and work hard instead of becoming burden for the government. The government will provide them necessary assistance and help so that they can lead a good life by their own. The refugee people should try to love the country as its own country and shouldn't do anything to harm the country. They need to abide by the rules and regulations of the government of the country. In this way, both Poland and the people will be benefited.
Well done for making comparisons between more than one news story -- and for forming opinions based on facts and examples. A very well-considered comment.
I think that the U.S.'s policy is very very unfair because, what if people need help? I think that Poland helping Ukraine for a little while is fair because one county can't always support another county forever, some other countries can decide if they want to help or not. I think that Germany should not use a card-based support system, not allowing the asylum seekers to transfer money to their family.(in a different country) I think this is because the UK Rwanda's policy is unfair because they already did not let the asylum seekers go to Rwanda or leave and then, they can't send money to help their families financially? So in the end, I think that all of them are unfair. I think that my classmates might think differently because we are different people with different preferences and opinions.
Straightforward_harp, thank you for your comment.
Could you please explain the UK policy on immigration and how Rwanda is involved?
First off,
Joe Biden's policy is unfair because what if there are a lot of immigrants who want to meet their family and they can't? I'd also be disappointed and upset if that happens to me. The asylum seekers are also crowded everywhere so why can't they change the policy a bit so that asylum seekers are grouped up into one spot? Germany's policy is also unfair because why can't asylum seekers help their family financially, because they already can't see their family face-to-face? I think Poland's policy is very accurate in my opinion. Russia has been 'under control' of Ukraine for too long, basically a year. It wouldn't hurt for Poland to help out a bit considering barely any kids have enough shelter, food, and clothes.
I think that Joe Biden's policies are actually fair because if too many immigrants go to America, the popularity would be WAY too high and Joe Biden might not be able to pay for the children's education and other sorts of things like healthcare and if Joe Biden loses all his money trying to take care of us, after him losing all his money, he can no longer pay for our health care and education we all need. Moving onto the information on Germany moving onto card payments is actually unfair. Why? Well, if asylum seekers cannot transfer money to their family members or parents, their parents will be in a lot of trouble. For example, imagine your dad/mom needs to pay their bill and they're 45$ off, how would you give them some money if you cannot transfer money to your parents that might lose their home if they don't pay the bills on time? I think it's very unfair if the cities are going to use card-based systems for absolutely no good reasons. The information on Poland offering Ukrainians refugees temporary protections is fair even if after the time is up for the Ukrainians to stop getting protection. It's actually very nice for Polish people to actually give Ukrainians healthcare, education, and possibly housing. At least if the temporary protection is gone, some Ukrainians can obtain some money and go on with life. And besides, who would even object getting temporary protection? Temporary protection is better than having NO protection at all.
I think that German cities that are moving closer to card-based systems to me are unfair. Because what if a family member needs money. You can't give that family member some money because of your city moving closer to a card-based system which prevents asylum seekers from transferring money such as a family member in their country of origin. I also think Joe Biden's new law would be fair because at least some asylum seekers could come to America, but not a lot probably because the population would be very high and the US may not have enough money to pay for everything the people coming into America needs. I think what Poland did for Ukraine was fair because I feel like Russia shouldn't have invaded Ukraine, but to me it's to do with what Ukraine did to Russia for Russia to invade the country. And this included education for children and healthcare and I think that is a very good thing for the economy and for kids.
For starters, I'd like to say that my parents are actually immigrants and most of my family are as well. My family is from Mexico, however I was born and raised in America for a better life. Most people don't know what it's like to be someone from another country trying to build a whole new life. Learning new languages and accustoms, people judging you for not knowing a simple word or having broken english. It used to be worse back in the days, now people have internalized racism. They'd never say it aloud though.( Not saying everyone) But my people go through all of it, just to have the opportunities that aren't given in a country like Mexico and to give their children those same opportunities.
Although letting a lot of people in the U.S. could risk overpopulating the country, think about what good it could do. All of the unborn lives that could possibly flourish. Letting them in comes with baggage but for what it's worth, it could do the economy some good. Most are willing to do whatever it takes to carry their own weight. They want to be free too. America also has other countries to count on for support. They'd make a lot more allies. Feel free to share your opinions on what I had to say. Thank you.
Sociable_antelope, thank you for your comment, which provides a different and personal perspective on the discussion.
I think that the Joe Biden law is very unfair.I say this because for example if it's a family, there is 5 people and you've traveled all the way from a different country. Only 3 of the family members get accepted but 2 are left behind because there are to many migrants are trying to enter the country.The devastation in those families would have have scared them for the rest of their life, they won't be able to celebrate as a whole, the wont be able to be happy knowing the only things they can do to communicate is call or send letters. I also believe that the Germany law is also unfair.Not being able to transfer money? I think that's not a great idea because what if your family is in need how would you be able to help
I think that the agreement signed by the U.S. president is a fair one. History has shown that hard drugs and illicit substances were being imported into the U.S through the U.S-Mexican border. I think that it is a fair one restricting movements on the borders hence, reducing the risk of illicit substances entering the United States. According whitehouse.gov "President Biden will reform our long-broken and chaotic immigration system. President Biden’s strategy is centered on the basic premise that our country is safer, stronger, and more prosperous with a fair and orderly immigration system that welcomes immigrants, keeps families together, and allows people across the country—both newly arrived immigrants and people who have lived here for generations—to more fully contribute to our country. " This is one of the points in his manifesto and I think that this is just a way of fulfilling his promise to the people.
Germany seems unfair, while the rest seem perfectly fine. I think Germany is unfair because it blocks asylum seekers from helping their families. This is sorta a big problem 'cause maybe their families don't have enough money or resources. But they won't be able to send their families money. I don't see a problem with wanting to help your kin. Honestly my mom sends money back home all the time.
Next the U.S.A.: I think that President Biden's rule is fair. I think this because if our cities are overcrowded with asylum seekers, it will be bad and we'd have to share all our resources. And limiting how many people we let in our cities is a very good thing because if we didn't it would be overcrowded, not enough resources, & wreck the employment role. Too many seekers would be wanting jobs and could cast out people who do have jobs. Overall this is a good thing. :]
Poland = :]. I think Poland's rule about Ukrainians is very good. The reason being is that Ukraine and Poland are sorta close so this means Ukrainians won't have to walk long miles just to get help. Plus most ukrainians would either be injured or death is peeking over. So free healthcare is literally life saving. Education is for the children so they have a chance to grow up like the rest. And gives them a second chance. Also the free housing request is amazing. Having a home after yours was destroyed or you had to leave is a nice feeling . Plus it gives people a place to stay.
I believe that immigration can be crucial and it could drain the country's resources,this can disturb the equilibrium between the native citizens needs and the country's resources that probably on the long run would not be able to also sustain the incoming immigrants,as the population's density will increase and this will overcome the available supply of work, education and health care centers,so in conclusion, I think that the government should know the borders of immigration sustainability.
This can seem unfair for the immigrants but not every country can fulfill their needs.
Thank you
In my view, Poland is a highly fair country that has given careful thought to children's healthcare and education, even going so far as to provide accommodation for as many applicants as possible. Developing this is very respectable and encouraging, as children are the ones most affected by conflict and crises, as we all know. Some may disagree with me and argue that asylum seekers should send money back to their families back home, but I also believe that Germany is fair in allowing them to keep their money within their borders. When permitted to continue, this will effectively exhaust Germany's resources.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Poland offered Ukrainian refugees temporary protection.
This included education for children and healthcare - and some people could also request housing.
I think this is really fair because Ukraine is a very small country and if Russia a very big country want's to destroy a small country its very bad.
Since Ukraine is not over populated this is why I think it is fair.
Firstly, I would like to define immigration which means when a person leaves their country to another country. For me in nigeria immigration is based on your reasons like, economical reasons, insecurities etc. Like in Russia where people migrate because of their war with Ukraine.
One policy I think is fair is that of Poland, Poland is simply being kind and hospitable taking into consideration the education and healthcare of children. Children all over the world should always be given top priority. It makes me feel a little sorry for asylum applicants whose families are back home when I consider Germany's policy. What if the asylum seeker is the family's primary provider and the wife didn't have a job before the tragic accident? I wonder how his family will be able to meet their basic needs now that he is unable to transfer money to them.
Poland set a positive example to all countries having issues with immigration. As a close border neighbour to Ukraine, it took all the right measures. First of all, it gave a temporary protection which would be enough for the citizens of Ukraine to deal with their unexpected situation. Additionally Poland tried to implement them naturally in their country providing all the basic needs, Healthcare,housing and prioritize the needs of their children, education. It was such a simple but constructive plan.
For some countries it may seem unfair as these countries should have the money to support this plan and all the necessary equipment and buildings.
I think that people immigrate because there could be a war, cival war and bad conditions in their country like pollution they also immigrate to earn money.
I believe that the policy of Germany is unfair because the presedent of Germany prevented transferring money outside the country so the asylum seekers can't transfer money to their families and this is a disaster.
I believe that the policy of USA is not fair because presedent Joe Biden reduced the people from immigrating to USA. I think that this is shameless because USA is a rich and huge country so why are they reducing the people immigrating to USA?
I believe that the Policy of Poland is extremely fair because the presedent of Poland has humanity and mercy. He allowed Ukraine people to immigrate to Poland to learn, to be treated and to live in it with peace.
I think that Bidens policies are fair, but there should be an easier way for the migrants to get here. For example, all the paperwork that goes into trying to get to the U.S is a lot. There should be a way to be quicker and more efficient. If the person is coming to the U.S to work they should automatically be able to come here.
Greetings to all ,
In my perspective, I think that president Joe Biden's introduced policies are fair because if immigrants go to USA then the resources of USA might ran out. I think that Germany's new policies of the new 'card - based' system that prevents asylum seekers transfer money to their relatives, is unfair . It is because they couldn't help their family, relatives and for example , if an asylum seeker is the only person in a family that can make money , so the whole family would be dependent on the person only.
Thank you !
The policy that feels fair for me is the one that was made in Poland against helping Ukrainian citizens to have temporary protection which also includes education for children and healthcare - and some people could also request housing which they allow. The reason why I say that this policies is fair to me, is because it allows people who were being attacked from their own home will to have a place to live and also have healthcare and education for their children. So for me this policy I is fair towards the Ukrainian citizens so, yes I stand to say yes that this policy is fair for the people of Ukrainian who where being attacked.
Then for the one that feels unfair to me is the policy that Joe Biden is trying to decreed which is the attempting to close the borders from migrates to come in. Why I say this feels unfair for me is because they will not allow people from entering their country where by people are forced to stay in their home town. And also not allowing free communication between family members.
So in conclusion the third policy is fair for me because of the protection they are giving to the people of Ukrainian, while for the unfair is the third one which doesn't allow free or rather live communication with their family members. So in all, Thanks .
While your perspectives on the policies are valid and based on considerations of humanitarian needs and individual liberties, it is important to analyze these situations from a broader perspective as well.
The policy in Poland providing temporary protection, education, healthcare, and housing assistance to Ukrainian citizens fleeing conflict reflects a sense of solidarity and compassion towards those in need. This policy can offer a lifeline to individuals and families seeking safety and stability during times of crisis. By providing essential services and support, Poland is helping alleviate the immediate hardships faced by Ukrainian refugees, which can be seen as a fair and empathetic approach to addressing humanitarian needs.
On the other hand, the policy proposed by President Joe Biden to close borders to migrants may be viewed as unfair due to its potential impact on individuals seeking asylum or better opportunities in the United States. Restricting migration can have complex consequences, including separating families and limiting access to resources and safety. While there are valid concerns related to border security and immigration control, policies that limit the movement of people in need of assistance can be perceived as restrictive and discriminatory.
Overall, fairness in policy-making involves balancing various considerations, including humanitarian concerns, national security, economic factors, and human rights. It is essential for policymakers to carefully weigh these factors and consider the potential implications of their decisions on individuals and communities.
Hi everyone!
I think that Poland's immigration law seems fair because it provides healthcare and protection to refugees keeping them safe during times of war, I also with Vivacious Engine because if they close up borders it will make people's families torn apart and borders are not closed the will be a lack of educational and healthcare towards immigrants.
I think that the law by Germany is unfair because most asylum seekers need to send or transfer money to relatives in their origin country because that is usually the reason, they seek financial support
I think the first policy in Germany is very fair. With this policy that has been set, Germany is set to become less attractive for asylum-seekers. At the same time, immigration for skilled workers will be made easier. According to DW, "A points system, based on language proficiency and professional experience, would grant eligible immigrants a one-year visa, during which time they can search for a job. The income requirement has also been lowered, and it will be easier for the applicant to bring along more family members.
The EU Blue Card is also to be expanded to cover sectors suffering from labor shortages, such as health care and education."
I think the reason for the change in policy is to not only make Germany a bus stop for migrants and immigrants but to also accept new and innovative skills in the country
I think Germany's example is both fair and unfair. I got to know that the asylum seekers in Germany are paid 150 $ a month for their basic needs, but some of them send most of their cash to their families through online banking. This is a sort of misuse of Germany's money, isn't it? While it is unfair for those who work hard and earn money for their families. If all the cities convert to the card system than it might be difficult for them to support their loved ones.
In my opinion, Joe Biden's policy and Poland’s policy feels fair.
Joe Biden's policy : Joe Biden has tried to pass a new agreement about asylum seekers. If too many migrants tried to enter the US, the borders might be shut down. It is a good decision because every country has a amount of space to live. If there are too many migrants there won’t be enough space for everyone. Because of this the US cannot give security to all of their people equally.
Poland’s policy : Poland made a policy that they will give education, health care and housing to the Ukrainian refugees. As housing, education and health care are some fundamental rights of a person, they should have it. This will also make feel the Ukrainian that they are safe.
And I think Germany’s policy feel unfair because their policy is that their cities are moving toward card based system rather than bank payment so that the asylum seekers cannot transfer their money to their relatives. It is unfair because he / she maybe the only person who works to support his /her family. If he /she cannot transfer money to his/her relatives, they will suffer in their life. This will made a big crisis to the family.
Hello,
According to me all of them are fair because as in the first case of Germany, Germany definitely has the right to safeguard its economy and just because it gave refuge to some refugees that doesn't make it obligatory on them to take care of their family too, especially when it also has its own citizens to care for. But the refugees and their family might feel it unfair as they are not getting the level of support they desire.
Secondly, Biden is also fair on his path because if too many immigrants enter America, there will be a significant increase in the population of USA and it will also have to pay for the basic needs of the immigrants but again from the perspective of the immigrants, it may feel unfair because being denied entry to a country where they seek security may feel unjust.
There can be no second thought in Poland's policy to fair as it give refuge to people in need and provides them with their basic needs too because they do not find safety and security in their own country. This is fair from the immigrant's point of view too
Policies might feel unfair for local people but the country has the responsibility to manage their own affairs and cannot always fulfill everyone's needs risking harm to their own country and citizens.
I think that Germany's immigration policy is really unfair because most immigrants motive for even emigrating to another country is to be able to support their family back home with their new privileges and opportunities. Being unable to send money back home, or remittances, would disable them being able to support their family. I actually immigrated to the U.S from Nigeria, and my parents were proud, and happy to send money back home to support their parents and family, but if the U.S had a policy like Germany's, we would be hopeless in our mission to support all of 0ur family.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Joe Biden's decision is fair on one hand and unfair on the other. If the number of immigrants increases, the country won't be able to provide them with adequate facilities to reside in the country. On the other hand, most of the immigrants have migrated to the USA for personal benefits, not some kind of emergency. As we see in Poland's case, Poland has accepted refugees from a war-involved country, which had been quite an emergency. The new law in America would prohibit these type of refugees and war victims. And if we have a look at America's population density, the country is not too densely populated and can still give shelter to a lot more immigrants and asylum seekers.
Poland's decision, as I already mentioned, must have helped a lot in the improvement of the condition of the victims of the Russia-Ukraine War. The initiative to welcome these refugees, and provide them with facilities similar to the citizens is appreciable. But yes, every decision comes with its drawbacks. Since the number of immigrants must have been huge, Poland's government might have faced adversities with managing the resources. At the end, every country oughts to give the best possible experience to its immigrants.
I agree with vivacious engine because if too much people are migrated it will lead they loss of money in the society because the government will not be able to take care of everybody in the country.
In my opinion , the policy launched by Joe Biden , the president of America is fair because if too many migrants enter America , it would cause overpopulation in the place and would disturb the economical balance of the place. It can be difficult paying all the taxes of education , health , management , manufacturing , ect. Hence , this policy fair and a great work by President Joe Biden . I think that the policy launched by Germany is unfair . Because , if in case some relative or family member of a person staying in an asylum would need help and needs money from the person in asylum , he or she would not be able to afford the money as mentioned in the policy . This can cause many issues in Germany between the citizens. So , I think this is not good and an unfair policy launched by Germany . Thank You !
If Poland can offer Ukrainian refugees a temporary protection , I think it's a fair attempt.
Providing free education and healthcare to citizens is a commendable effort. Education opens doors to endless possibilities. Educated individuals have the potential to think creatively and become valuable contributors to society. By extending this crucial opportunity to Ukrainian, The Ukrainian could be productive and Poland can help bridge gaps and foster economic growth.
I think Joe Biden's policies are fair and unfair because if too many people get in the usa they might overpopulate and it would cause the United States to not be able to pay that much money for healthcare and education.Overpopulation may cause people to feel unsafe because the country might overpopulate. It would be unfair Because if the families cant go in the USA and they would have to return to their rural areas or their situations back to their country.
I believe that Joe Biden's policies feel fair because population control would be difficult to handle with all of the immigrants coming into America. The US already has a huge population with over 300 million people living in the country. Additionally, the taxes that would come from providing necessary things for the immigrants coming to the country would be immense. The US still is in crippling debt from China and other countries so piling up on the debt wouldn't be the best option.
Can you explain why the taxes would increase if migrants were to enter the country?
I think that Joe Biden's policies are absolutely fair as he want to make sure that his country will not be effected from immigrants. There's a lot of problems that immigrants cause such as:
Increase in population: if the population increases then the country would be so crowded and there will be a lot of people without work as they can't find work.
Increasing bullying: As there is a lot of people from different countries around the world with different skin colour and shape, everyone will bully the other one. The white skin colour will bully the black skin colour and the black will bully another one and so on.
However, some people would say no i think that's not fair and also immigrates will have a very good and positive things such as:
How we think: Well immigrates can lead also that some people would think different from the others as there are people from different countries with different mind and opinions. So if we had all of the opinions we could make a very good things.
Economic growth and development: As there would be lots of people in the country everyone will try to work which will lead to fill job gaps and also developing more businesses.
After all, everyone will have there own opinion. So in my final opinion I think that's Joe Biden is very fair as he want to avoid the problems that would happen from immigration.
You say that there's an increase in bullying. Are you certain? Is there any evidence of this happening in the US?
This is my opinion and I think that when the immigration increase bullying will increase and nowadays bullying in USA is increasing day after day
I'm not sure about this actually but there might be some bad people that might bully others but of course this people get punished as Joe biden love safety and he always makes sure that his country is the best that's why he might want to decrease immigration because to avoid any problems that might happen from it.
For me I feel that Poland is the fairest because offering Ukrainian refugees needs help their country is in terrible danger they will feel protected with this policy. The one I think it's the unfairest one is number 1 because if people immigrate from a country that means either the people has a bad financial situation or because they want a better future if people that wants to transfer money to their relatives that means either the relatives need some type of help or its because its their obligation to send money to them.
I feel that Joe Biden's policies are fair but i also feel that since there is a limit on immigrants allowed in the country they should only allow people looking for work, to get money. I also feel that Germany's new policy is completely unfair because I don't think germany's government gets to control the money that germans send out of the country and I think that they should be allowed to do whatever they want with it because it's their money. Lastly I feel that Poland's policy is completely fair and very bennifall because by poland taking in refugees their bringing up their GDP by the refugees looking for work, and their also bringing up their literacy rate which brings up the GDP and GDP per capita even more.
I think Joe Biden's policy is unfair. I can try to understand where he is coming from, maybe he has a valid reason, but a lot of asylum seekers need help and shutting them out just isn't the right thing to do. When you look at it from the asylum seekers' side, you will see how unfair it is. I mean I came to a country to take refuge because I am being discriminated and instead of helping me, they are throwing me out. I get that it can cause economic strain on the country because supporting refugees can place a financial burden on their country but I still disagree with refusing them to enter. Since the number of asylum seekers is the problem, I believe that instead of locking them out, Joe Biden should transfer them to somewhere else. If you cannot help the needy, find someone who can. Shutting them out is completely wrong. Instead they can create an organisation which (instead of taking care of asylum seekers) transfers asylum seekers to a safe place where they can be taken care of.
Greetings!
I agree with the policy that the USA recently announced for immigrants that if too many immigrants won't be allowed in the country because if too many enter the country without citizenship it would be illegal and they would be put in jail, now some people might say that they would allow immigrants to live with them so imagine you live in a perfect colony with people who are financially sound and don't argue a lot . Now some people enter your colony and they find some space to live and they are not financially sound at all and argue a lot you wouldn't like them . If the immigrant's country is undergoing a war and the country gives the temporary shelter that would be a terrific step to take as it will make the country's reputation better and the immigrant's country will also be grateful and will agree to help the country with it's further issues.
Thank you
quiet hurricane you are absolutely right.
I agree with what you said. War is a big problem for countries. So, saying no to immigrants when they really need help isn't right. Nobody knows if a country will always be peaceful, and if something really dangerous is happening, it's natural to want to leave and find safety. Like the conflict between Palestine and Israel, many people were hurt, but some were lucky to escape to a peaceful country and the immigrant ' country will be forever be thankful to that country .That's why I think helping immigrants is important – it can save lives."
Based on Joe Biden of America which passes a new agreement that says the border should be shut down if too many migrants are trying to enter the country. This means that the number of asylum seekers allowed to enter the country would be reduced to a minimum.
Reducing migrants doesn't mean all migrants must leave the country. I believe Joe Biden understands the consequences and he's working to prevent future issues. Prevention is better than cure. This policy allows for managing the current population, and if necessary, I trust he'll adjust it. Thus, I don't find the policy unfair.
I think that the United State immigration rule is better than the Germany immigration rule .
I find the United States immigration rule vantastic because if there are too much migrants trying to come in they will close their borders so that the country will not be loaded with many people.
In my own opinion Germany's immigration rule is the most unfair out of all of them. I believe this because the migrants might have family that don't money and if they
4 want to send money to them they can't because Germany's currency is card based currency . Even if someone thinks that Germany is doing this because they don't want them to overload the country and they might say that United States is doing this because they think they're superior. Well I think they just need to pay more attention to details.
Joe Biden's rule seems like the most fair because he has a point, there can't be everyone in just one country. There can be issues caused if too many people are in one place at a time as well as not enough things for everyone which wouldn't be good. Furthermore, if they are trying to keep a balanced country, then adding more people would make this difficult depending on the resources they have. The most unfair policy here in my opinion would be the one in Germany because no one knows if their family or friends are struggling back at their home country and they need help either from not being able to get one or struggling from disabilities so this would be an unfair one.
I agree with Joe Biden because if too man migrants go into America, the attackers of the migrants home country would find a way to attack Joe Biden's country as well and that would lead to a war happening which could slowly spread to the countries around America. Etc : Canada and some other countries in central America.
I genuinely think that Poland's policies are fair because they offer people an opportunity that is amazing in their situation and this represent their sense of humanity because lives of people who were affected by the war are precious and they deserve to live a descent life especially kids because they are the future of our world
How would you make immigration system fairer
It has been a great displeasure to me hearing that innocent immigrants fall victims to this dubious people who call themselves agent,and they are scammed and all their money is being exorted. I would make immigration system fairer by increasing the numbers of visa's available for legal immigration,so that people who want to come to the country can do so without having to resort to illegal methods or fall victims of fake agents.
In addition,i would also like to create a path for citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have been living and working in the country for a certain period of time,it became my decision to do this when i found out the case of DACA( deferred action for childhood arrivals) ,they are undocumented immigrants who were brought to the united states as children and since grown up ,they have become contributing members of the society. However they have no clear path of citizenship ! This is absolutely unfair!!
I would make the immigration system fairer by creating paths of citizenship for undocumented immigrants which also contributes to economic growth.
Finally,i would like to reduce the process or procedure for obtaining a visa,making it less time consuming and even less confusing.
I would also like to increase funding for immigration courts so cases brought to them can be process more efficiently.
The immigration system will be more fairer if i build a refuge for refugees who are desperate in need of safety and protection,that they may not be able to obtain a visa ,this can leave them in a dangerous situation without a safe place to go,especially refugees that has been duped or scammed.
I will do all of that to make the immigration system more fairer because the safety of the immigrants is my pride,progress and priority.
Well said bustling_trumpet.
I totally get where you're coming from. It's truly awful when innocent people get scammed by those fake agents. By increasing the number of visas, providing paths to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and supporting refugees, we can definitely make the system fairer. It's all about creating opportunities for those who want to come to the country legally and ensuring that everyone is treated with respect and fairness.
In addition to increasing visas and creating paths to citizenship, we can also focus on enhancing support services for immigrants to navigate the system more easily. By providing clear information and resources, we can ensure that immigrants have the guidance they need to go through the process smoothly.
Thank you.
Nicely said, bustling trumpet,some countries first lure in immigrant's from poor country with their money.this immigrants are victims of injustice.
They stop immigrants from practicing their culture and thinks their own culture is the best which is wrong.
I watched a movies where an India woman and her family migrated to Norway.some child welfare office came to her house to watch how they lived,not knowing they were watching the way she was training her children,this agency decided to take unpermitted video,which is invasion of privacy and they adopt the two children with the parents consent,a 3 months old baby and a five year old.
This policy is very wrong adopting people child because she uses her hand to feed her children and she applied some things to their heads.i believe everyone culture should be respected .most of this child welfare don't have enough facility to Carter for the children.so why should they be separated form their parents.such policy should not be practiced every one's culture should be respected.seperating a child from the mother can cause depression.
In conclusion children should not be put under detention.
Most agency do this for money,and illegal accusations are been made against the parents.
Migrating can separate family,I guess the are family so they can be together,not separating them.
My advise for countries that do this to parents and children should stop,they are other ways to make people adapt to your culture,not separating young kid from their parents.❌
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Remember that things you watch on movies are likely to be fictional, so do not take these examples as real evidence of what it happening in different parts of the world.

I feel like the first one aka the one that has to do with banks is needed because that can prevent fraud. Also it can prevent people from stealing cards and taking money that isn’t theirs. Also since that place has a high chance of that happening I feel they should put that everywhere instead of one place.
I believe that what poland is doing is unfair the fact that Ukraine is having a war doesn't mean they only should the only asylum. Other asylum seekers might be looking for safety like the Ukrainians are doing and they find Poland as a means of what they are looking for. It might get to a point where the ukrainians might not leave Poland when the war is finished.
So it would be fair if Poland open their borders to other asylum seekers.
I disagree with the card-based system adopted by Germany. The whole reasoning for some people to immigrate is to seek a better life for them and their families. By disallowing immigrants to commit money transfers, they are cutting the streams of money for families whose sole reason for immigration was to better the living conditions of their families back in their home country. Instead, I believe all countries should provide a certain level of hospitality, including the ability to transfer money as an immigrant.
in my point of view Joe Biden of America agreement that says the border can be shut down if too many migrant are trying to enter the country seems fair. so as the country to be able to provide proper care for the Asylum seekers .
And the Germany policy in which cities are moving towards a card based system for support rather than bank payment seems unfair because you might not be able to help your family you left behind with money.
I feel fair to the President Joe Biden's verdict because if many migrants are try to enter the country, population of the country will rapidly increase also government of that country will be weaken to provide services to the citizen of the country. Country will lack it's resources and the citizen won't have differentiate between the migrant and citizen when all migrant will get citizenship. While providing migrant facilities citizen could be disappointed from government which will lead to the many fights inside the country and the backfall of the government system. As you can see in the context of Nepal many people are going to country like America, Canada so on as migrant which made imbalance in the capable manpower of our country. So, the number of asylum seekers allowed to enter the country should be reduced to a minimum.
After Russia invaded Ukraine ,Poland offered Ukrainian refugees temporary protection. Its so acceptable decision of Poland that they are maintaining humanity by helping the sufferer of Ukraine. In this point, when their country isn't helping them other country try to give some rest to their pain is a giant thing. They demonstrate their concern for neighboring countries. Everyone deserves access to education and healthcare. Even though it is temporary, it is still a really nice method to help. According to me , they decided to make it temporary because channeling most of their resources to helping the refugees for too long could affect the resources they have to take care of their own citizens. However, they decided to give them protection until things in their own country get better. This policy is absolutely fair for me .People may have different opinions on this issue, and that's okay because everyone thinks differently.
Thank You!!
In my view, that President Joe Biden's policies are fair. If immigrants number will be high in America there will be excessive population, and it will difficult to provide good education and health facilities to the immigrants. It will also cause problem in their home country. It will lack the manpower and as result the development of country will be slower. It will also help the leaders of country which have corrupted mind and setting the corrupted mind in citizens. From high immigrants it will harm the condition of the country.
From my perspective, Joe Biden's policies are more fair because if too may immigrants enter to the America ,then the population would be too high so that there would be too difficult to handle the problems. Increasing in the population may lead to overpopulation, people will unable to receive equal facilities, conflict may occur between people. It is not sure that all people move for the employment may be some people have the intension of doing other activities which will directly effect the political, economical condition of the country.
That's a logical answer, communicated clearly.
Some countries have an aging population as birth rates have slowed. How might immigration impact these countries differently?
I mean Joe Biden's policy is actually being considerate in his decision. Although If there are too many immigrants he would not be able to cater for the needs of everyone in the country, and it would lead to extreme overpopulation. The USA won't wanna pay all of that money for the education and healthcare of everyone there. It could lead to an increase in crime rate, traffic, and more. But immigration allows people to have a safer life and future, which is one of many positives of more immigrants, and that is why most people come to America in the first place.
You've made some clear points here.
Can you find any facts about how much money immigrants bring to an economy? Does this impact your opinion at all?
Hi Friends!
In my opinion, Germany and America would be wrong in their policies and Poland would be right. This is because of these reasons-
America- The president says that if too many asylum seekers come there then, they will shut down their borders. I think this rule is unfair because asylum seekers are people coming from war zones and they might need help. I also think that America's large population overwhelms the government, but it should not stand in the way of human living, if you know what I mean.
Germany- They are changing their money transaction method to stop asylum seekers from lending their family money. My thoughts about this policy is that if asylum seekers are earning well and they see that their family members are suffering, why can't they lend some money? There is no law stating that they can't, so this policy is unfair.
Poland- They supported Ukraine which I think is right. They saw a country suffering, a war happening and they helped. How many countries would do that? Only a few of them I guess.
Thank You
I believe Joe Biden and Poland have fair policies. WIth Joe Biden, too many people migrating into America could cause problems for them and everyone who lived here before due to the overpopulation; higher cost of living, healthcare, and education. It will affect a lot of people. Though Poland has a different policy, it is just as fair. Poland just helps all of the Ukrainian refugees with what they need, saving lives and helping so many. Germany's policy is unfair because they are denying families trying to help each other, and just trying to survive.
Some german citizens might disagree with me. They might think the asylum seekers shouldn't even be seeking refuge in germany, for whatever reason.
I think that the Poland policies are fair because they are offering the people of Ukraine for education and health care . Everyone needs education specially children and if Poland is offering them service, when they are in a hard situation even it's temporary, it's really nice that Poland tried to do something for their neighboring country where as other countries are fighting with their neighboring country.
At other hand, Jeo Biden's policies are unfair because Asylum seekers are also human beings and every human beings have their own rights. Due to they can't get the rights in their country, they had came to America for help to live happily like others people which they deserve.
Thank you!
I think joe Biden's policy is the most fair and sensible because if immigrants enter the country it will not be able to provide services to immigrants and the citizens of country will also feel unsafe and people will also not accept immigrants because if the the people are financially good and if immigrant is financially sound bad so the people will not accept this immigration and they may eventually leave the country if they feel so much unsafe, and about the poland's offer it is very good but this policy but it can not be done practically until what time the people of Ukraine will continuously come to Poland ? One day Poland may be overpopullated and may suffer unemployment, poverty, lack of food and they may have a limit of immigration of Ukrainian people.
Thank you
There could be various policies, which would be related to immigrants and asylum seekers in a particular country. Such as these 3 policies given below of - Poland, Germany and U.S. I feel that poland policy is fair, among the people as they provide education and health for refugees of Ukraine, and also provide housing, which may however offer them temporary protection. I refuse with the Germany policy, as the card - system may be a boon to the people but disallowing people to transfer amount to their relatives living in their country of origin. The policy can't restrict anyone to halt their transfers and payment to other people in different country, which may result in a huge loss to them, in their own needs. I also disagree with the Joe Biden's statement over shutting the borders of the country to prevent the immigrants and to reduce the numbers of asylum seekers. The policy just cannot shut the borders and don't allow people to enter in the country, which may lead to intolerance or prejudice, as everyone has the right to reside in any part of the country, according to their needs. But, we can find an alternative to this situation as we can just make a statement fixing the time period or tenure of a citizen to live in the country, in accordance with their skills and degrees pursued.The more the skills or degrees, the more the time period could be extended. So, it will also increase the number of high-skilled labours and lead to increase in the economy rate of U.S.
According to my perspective, the immigration policy of the Germany would not be a very likeable option. They may think that by this way can prevent asylum seekers sending money to other members of the family. But how can we stop them if they left their family in a war environment? They want to do the best for them and they found the only solution to live them. I understand that with cards they can check where and what they buy but as human rights' seekers we need to ease first their pain and then set some rules.
Hello!
Well this topic on immigration is really an enlightening and captivating one as prior to this I had not really sat down to give so much attention to news concerning immigration but now that I am more enlightened here is what I think.
So I have noticed that many hub users on the hub have been focusing and elaborating on the good side of immigration but I think if we are just told the good aspect of the story we will think all is going as it should be.
Immigrants leave their country for various reasons such as jobs, to reunite with family, to start a new life amongst a host of others.
Immigrants also have a different way of doing things and not all immigrants have a good intention of migrating. This means immigrants could bring norms and traditions unacceptable to a society which could cause chaos and a breach in the normal way of doing things in that country hence they may start to remodel and reshape the norms and values of such a country in a negative way.
This begs the question what is the best way to go forward and how are immigrants meant to act, how are they to be handled and treated and should immigrants be QUARANTINED from the rest of the country?
I think that the decision made by Joe Biden is right because if there will be too many immigrants then it will be hard to maintain the decorum of that country. I know America is avery big country so if people go there then there would be place for them to live. Too many Immigrants going to a same country will create alot of chaos.The decision made by Joe Biden for his country is completely fair.
From my perspective, Joe Biden's policies are fair because If there will be the large number of immigrants in America there will be difficulties in education and healthcare that migrants need. Due to the high immigrants there will be pressure on public services. Racial tensions and discrimination will occur with gender imbalance. To control this problems, I like the view of Joe Biden's.
Hello everyone
I think that Joe Biden's policies are fair because if immigration would increase a lot in a country so it would not be able to invest on healthcare , education , etc .
Can immigration be good for a country?
It can be good for a country in the following ways:-
LABOR FORCE GROWTH : Immigrant can fill shortage of labor force in a country which a native -born would not will to do.
TAXATION : Immigrants would need to pay taxes to country as they are living in it .
INNOVATION : Immigrants may have so skills which can bring innovation in a country
How can immigration in a country can give disadvantages to it?
They can bring disadvantages in the following ways :-
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION : Security and legal concerns can be caused because of unmanaged immigration.
LOSS OF CULTURAL IDENTITY : Concerns might arise about preserving the dominant culture in the face of immigration.
Thank you
Waiting for your replies !
Hello 👋
I think that the Polandian offer to Ukraine which was offering Ukrainian refugees temporary protection.
This included education for children and healthcare - and some people could also request housing. That's fair because the country is passing through some hard time because of the Russian invasion on Akraine so people need to have safety or to be protected. Also they need things such as healthcare services and children education , moreover some kind of housing. And these rights or not available in Akraine nowadays so I think that it's fair and Russia can't comment on it
I think that what they do in Germany is unfair, which was that more cities in Germany are moving towards a card-based system for support, rather than bank payments. This is to prevent asylum seekers from transferring the money to others, such as relatives in their country of origin. It's unfair because some people need help because there country don't help them with the financial rights, so one of them arrived to another country which have all the rights let's take Germany.
He / she is working to help her/ his family , friends or their region but they can't because they changed the bank payment way so they can't send money to their region.
I think it is unfair as already the asylum seekers are in desperate need and sending them to Rwanda is just putting them in more distress but have Rwanda agreed to do this if not England are already in massive debt with them
I think that Poland's rule is fair because they said that they are going to provide for the refugees things like education for their children and temporary protection for them. And I also think that some of those things are free. And it may also help them because, some of the refugees may find it hard to care for their children and then Poland said they can come in and Poland will help them by giving them temporary protection and give their children free education. And if the people of Poland are seeking asylum other countries may welcome them with open arms and also offer them temporary protection and give their children free education.
I think that Joe Biden's rule is unfair because he said he was going to close the border of America if too many migrants people get into America, and it may be hard for the migrants because they may find it hard for them to travel back to another country to seek asylum. And some negative effects on this policy may be like, people may want to wage war against America when they can go back to their country. And it may also tarnish America's name because people may say that America chased them away from their country just because they did not want too many migrants. And also if the American,s also seek asylum because something terrible has happened in their country other countries may not take them in and chase them back because America also chased them.
I also think that that Germany's rule is unfair because if they just want to go into a card payment because they want to go into a card payment transaction because they don't just want asylum seekers to send money to others like family members, it may be hard for the family members because they may need to take care of themselves with the money sent to them, and if no money is sent to them, it may be hard for them to take care of themselves. And some negative effects on this policy may be things like, people may wage war because of the anger they developed when they were seeking asylum in Germany and it may also be that if Germany is now seeking asylum, the other countries may set policies like only giving network to their phones so they will not be able to contact each other.
THANK YOU
Greetings everyone,
I wouldn't say that Joe Biden’s is unfair, I would rather say that it is both fair and unfair. It is fair because it benefits the country but unfair because it affects the innocent immigrants negatively. In the aspect of fairness, it would prevent overpopulation that would lead to limited resources therefore ensuring the good living conditions of the citizens and also protecting the country against crisis and chaos that might be caused by immigrants. In the aspect of unfairness, there is limitation to the amount of immigrants entering the country. This would affect the innocent ones as some immigrants immigrate for the purpose of earning a living, education purposes and also to escape from wars going on in their country therefore not allowing them into the country might lead to poverty, insufficient education and also putting their lives at risk.
Secondly, In my own point of view I would say that the Germany's policy is not fair as it does not allow asylum seekers to send money to their relatives in their country of origin and this their relatives might not have a means of meeting their needs and this would lead to poverty.
And so finally, in my humble perspective I would say that the Poland policy is the fairest as it offered temporary protection to the Ukraine refugees and also free education for children and healthcare therefore helping to heal the pain resulted from the war
Hello topical talkers ,
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Poland offered Ukrainian refugees temporary protection . which included education for children and healthcare - and some people could also request housing . This might be a good offer to ukraine bit in my opinion Poland is already been warned by Russia . So if they continue to help Ukraine the enmety between Poland and Russia might increase and cause them to start a war .
Thank you .
Yes l agree to your points
It's possible that tensions could escalate because Russia warned Poland about Ukraine, but Poland didn't listen. This could make things worse. Also, if Ukraine supports Poland because of the benefits they received, it could lead to a conflict involving three countries and damage the relationships between Poland and Russia."
The immigration policy that Poland offered should make them feel proud as they put safety and humanity first. This seems fair as a war hit immigrants ' country and they need to go somewhere to feel safe with their family. This is the first to be done and them the host country can find policies to move forward.
To get rid of them is not a solution. It is like a problem going from one place to another. It is not the place but the actions we do.
From my perspective, Joe Biden's policies are fair because if there will be high number of immigrants there will increase in population. And increase in population can put pressure on public services. Unemployment may rise if there are unrestricted numbers of incomers. There may be integration difficulties and friction with local people. High number of immigrants causes congestion in the receiving region's housing and transportation system. It also can causes a cultural break down in the region of origin. Because of immigration languages and cultural barriers can exist and it increased level of pollution. To control this type of problems, Joe Biden's policies are fair.
In my opinion, Poland's decision to provide temporary shelter, education, healthcare, and housing for Ukrainian refugees feels fair. This rule shows kindness and backing for people who are struggling in a tough situation and shows we're taking smart steps to take care of refugees' health and happiness before problems get worse.
On the other hand, President Joe Biden's proposed agreement to shut down borders if there is an influx of migrants feels unfair to me. This is because such a rule is too strict and might stop people who need help from getting it. It's like changing how the United States usually helps people who are running away from danger. It's sort of like saying, "Sorry, we can't help you right now." But isn't helping people what we're all about? It seems like we should stick to being the place where people can find safety when they really need it. Regarding the challenge, various people, like those who really care about keeping the country safe, making sure the economy stays strong, listening to what people think, and following the rules, might have different ideas about President Joe Biden's plans. People who worry a lot about national security might like tough rules to control immigration, while those who are more worried about the economy might want fewer people seeking asylum.
I agree with your views on Poland. Deciding to educate children who are willing to learn and acquire the right skills and knowledge is a fair thing to do. It is said "Education is the right of every child", if these children are well taught then they will be able to make informed decisions and such that befell them might not befall their children because as adults they will do the right thing. We know education is vast and it goes beyond paper and pen in a classroom, it could be acquiring Information and Communications Technological skills, crafts, green skills and so on, so educating children is right.
I think the asylum seekers opinion is unfair.What if I was a person who was not familiar with the digital age so I have to go to the bank to transfer money to my family in a different place.By taking the bank away from me you are not only hurting my family but you also hurt me in the process. What if they money needed to go towards something important like a surgery or they needed to move because they are in a sitution.You would leave them in a upset position because now they can get the help they need.This would hurt me emotionally and mentally because now I am upset that my family can't receive the help they need because I can't transfer money by using a bank payment.In the end i feel it is unfair because you should not limit me to something that I don't know about or cant get the help that I need to whats neccesary.
I think what Mr. Biden did was correct as a lot of immigrants can cause unrest in the country and illegal ones can create riots, as the immigrants have different backgrounds and cultures they are unfamiliar with those of the country that they have immigrated into.
the illegal immigrants do not want to work and our creating burden on the productive people of the country.
So the decision was correct and can be opted by other nations if they are flooded with immigrants.
Thank you for sharing your opinion. You say "the illegal immigrants do not want to work and our creating burden on the productive people of the country." Is this true for all illegal immigrants? Do you have any evidence to support your opinion?
Olivia@ Topical Talk ,the point raised is that first of all they are illegally immigrating and are not abiding to the laws of of the country they could've opted for legal immigration but they did not and I personally believe that huge part of Illegal immigrants don’t want to work but want govts to provide free alms, shelter & food. The case may not be the same for all but it is common. First reason can be who would want to give jobs to illegal immigrants jobs? as they do not qualify to get a job because of their illegal status. Recently, in San Francisco California, there were many incidences where many Illegal immigrants from Mexico and other south American countries openly shoplifting from big stores such as Walmart and other high end branded stores. They have also been claiming over rights on local residents etc.
And for evidence backing on my statement you can visit RadioGenoa which have footage , video and audio evidences on the topic, and recently "illegal immigrants" in Europe had stated that stealing undisturbed is a right. Hope this could clear any confusion!
Out of all of the 3 I chosen the 3rd one due to the fact that it has a good reason for war it is protecting the people from Ukraine and transferring them safely to Poland the most unfair one is the 1st one i find it to be the less important due to the fact that it is helping financial work and the second one is taking about having to much immigrants so that is in the order I would place it .
I think that Poland's policy is a good idea because it is helping the children from a country where there is war and making sure they are safe. By giving them education and healthcare, the policy is making sure they are looked after until their country is restored.
I think the USA shutting off the borders is not a good idea and is unfair because many asylum seekers are trying to get to safety and by only allowing a certain number of people in to a country means there are people who will remain unsafe and with nowhere to live. i understand the population would increase which would mean more money on education and healthcare, but in the USA, where healthcare is something most people pay for, there would not be as much of a problem if people needed to stay there to be safe.
The policy which seem fair to me was the one Joe Biden introduced. If too many migrants enter the country , it can become overcrowded and the migrants might be sent by an enemy country as spies or something like that. This policy seems the most fair and safest to me in my opinion. And I don't think any of the other policies are unfair I just think the one applied by Joe Biden is the most fair..
i would think they are unfair. The politic of Joes Bidein is unfair because if an immigrant lives in the u.s and they have family in other countries and the borders are shut down the immigrant won't be able to see there family if they come because the boarder is shut down.
Another politic that is unfair is Germany's politic. I think it's unfair because if there is a family member is mexico and his/her son is there,The family member wants to send money this/her son she won't be able to.She won't be able to because germany's cities they are moving into carded-based system for support. this is because this is to prevent asylum seekers from transferring the money to others, such as relatives in their country of origin.
I think that Germany law is very unfair because like some people just go to another country to provide for their family who they left at home. Maybe they were broke and living a horrible life and wanted to go to another country to work and make money. But now if they can't send money their family back in their home is probably suffering.
I agree with Joe Biden's law because Joe Biden was already nice enough and didn't close the boarder even though many people are coming. And if many people go to the USA then it will be very overpopulated and that will affect the people the live in the towns because now maybe they taking over everywhere in the streets. I think it would be a good thing because Joe Biden doesn't want it to be too overpopulated.
I agree with Poland rule because it a nice thing to do to the citizens of Ukraine because none of things that they did was the citizens fault. Like they weren't the ones that started or wanted a war. And either way they shouldn't let nothing stop them from studying so I think what Poland did is fair towards the citizens. Poland wasn't like forced to that.
I feel like the citizens of Poland would disagree with me because it is their home country and they aren't apart of the war and didn't even say they wanted the citizens in Poland. I feel like the citizens in Poland would be mad they are taking over Poland.
Do you think it's fair to assume all citizens of Poland feel this way?
No I don't think it is fair but I just thought maybe they would feel like that since like most people are like mean but there could some people who just don't mind.
I think Germany's policy is unfair. I think it's unfair because, many migrants suffer from their home country, and go to another country that's safer than their home country, and these people are called asylum seekers. But, when the asylum seekers move to another country they might have some relatives that have to stay in the home country. Then, when the asylum seekers try to send money to their relatives to help them with problems, they won't be able to, because Germany uses card-based systems instead of bank payments, and this stops the asylum seekers from sending money to relatives in other countries.
I also think the U.S. rule is unfair because, if the migrants have to move to the U.S., and there are too many migrants going into the U.S., the borders would shut down, and if you don't make it before the borders close, you won't make it to the U.S.
But I think what Poland is doing is fair because, if the children don't have an education they won't learn anything. And it is also bad because, if Ukraine and Russia are in war they won't be able to get an education. But, if Poland offers Ukrainian children some education until March 2025, they would at least have some education throughout the war.
The policy that feels very unfair to me is the policy that Joe Biden tried to pass.The reason as to why I think that Joe Biden's policy is unfair is because if Joe Biden's policy did end up passing, then many family members outside of the United States would not be able to enter America.I also feel this way because most states of the U.S.A have a large population of immigrants, and if their family members can not cross and enter America, then the immigrants in the U.S.A would most likely leave the United States.
I agree with president Joe Biden about shutting down the borders. I say this because if migrants come through the borders, then you're going to have to give migrants a lot of money until migrants can stand on their feet, meaning (until migrants can handle something). Another detail about why I agree with Joe Biden is that, if migrants need money, then you will keep having to pay more than $100. For example, if one group of migrants need $10,000 then you will have to pay that type of money, and if more groups of migrants come every day, then the president will have no more money to give to the migrants this will cause an issue. The issue will be that, if president Joe Biden loses money then Joe Biden will no longer be elected, because how are you supposed to become president again with no money? These are the reasons why I agree with Joe Biden.
I believe that Joe Biden trying to pass the agreement that says the borders can be shut down is fair since there are just so many migrants coming into the country. The control of the population might get out of hand and there just are so many people to take care of. We have to consider all of the resources it will take to manage that many people so, yes, it's fair if Joe Biden passes that agreement.

I think the policy that is unfair is In Germany more cities are moving towards a card-based system for support, rather than bank payments. This is to prevent asylum seekers from transferring the money to others, such as relatives in their country of origin. This is because this policy would not only affect the asylum-seekers but also affect the people of the country. I think that H.E Joe Biden's policy is fair because he is trying to prevent increase in population and the high cost of healthcare and education. I think the asylum seekers might think differently because they are in need of the safety and wouldn't be concerned about the expenses needed for their care.
I think that all the polices are fair because it is up to them to choose whether they want to help or not. It is for the citizen or the leaders point of view to either help or not help. None of these polices are unfair because they are either trying to look out for their citizens or the immigrants.
Although i said their wasn't any that was unfair, but if you really ask me, the unfair one is Germany's policy. It isn't fair to stop people from making transactions and transferring money cause i don't see any rule in the country or any reason to forbid it.
THANK TOU!!!!
I personally believe that Germany's laws about switching to card-based system support is truly unfair to all of the poor, beaten survivors of war with their own hearts already filled with the deep and vast seas of despair that will have lost family to friend because of corrupted governmental figures. To put those very same traumatized, wounded and crushed spirits in a place where they cannot spend their money how they wish because everyone uses card is just disgraceful in my opinion. To even think that people, no mankind can be so appalling as to reject people who have been witness to parents or children sacrificed`, slaughtered or tortured till they flee their homeland. What if they have mothers that need to pay a debt or children that were taken too young. What if that was a friends baby and after all that they had been through you couldn't even support their funeral if they could even be given one. Imagine you were a refugee, you've gambled your life to escape the tranches of war only to find yourself thrown to the streets. People looking at you as if they were staring at a half eaten rat carcass.
I don't feel that Joe Biden's decision is fair to all parties. Foremost because migrants entering the country need a safe place to stay and start a new form. Now, I'm sure many would disagree with my opinion such as many adults because of immigrants getting a card that takes money out of the check they've gotten along with taxes which can turn your $8,000 pay into $4,000. Yet, besides all this, we should not just outright not allow people to enter. The U.S.A. was made to be a free country for all people to come. But, to keep order I think there should be a system of immigrants maybe filling out a form to qualify to cross the border of the U.S.A.
As a child to immigrants, I morally feel that Joe Biden's rules are a little harsh. I have lots of family from other countries and I would be devastated if they traveled all the way to the border, risking their lives for a better life, just to be "denied". Immigrants are people too, they need a safe place to stay, for their family, for the future generations. Many immigrants also come into this country to work, which can actually help boost the U.S's economy, instead of lowering it. The country that the immigrant is coming from is having a war or going through some sort of issue, immigrants should automatically be allowed into our country for refuge. But, I do understand that letting everyone into the country may cause a lot of harm.
I think that Joe Biden's policies are unfair because migrants have to endure the horrors of being beat or getting separated from their families. I believe that if there are too many migrants, the USA won't care about their personal needs such as education and healthcare. Immigrants still need to be cared for just like we do and i believe that we have to come up with a better solution to this controversial issue.
I think that Poland helping refugees was fair because not many others would've taken them in. They gave the refugees a place to stay, food on the table and safety for families. I partially agree with Joe Biden's new agreement as I understand that he wants all his citizens to feel equal. However, I feel like this might be unfair for a few reasons. Firstly, what about the people who can't get in? And what would happen to them?
Secondly, the USA has plenty of resources and supplies to home new immigrants. I think it's because some people are just greedy.
I think Joe Bidens idea is right because in the future if people keep on letting immigrants into certain countries there will be a massive lack of food and other recources we need .Also crossing the seas is very dangerous and you can lose your life .But you get all you need if yo make it.
I somewhat disagree with this comment. Yes, there is a problem with immigrants coming constantly, but we should not just outright abandon people in need. Instead, we should devise an action plan to help the immigrants. For example, a classmate of mine in our topical talk discussion suggested there be a form to fill out to see if a person is qualified to immigrate to the place they want. :)
I think that the first two are not fair. I think they're not fair because in Germany since they moved to card based systems for support most asylum seekers have not been able to send money to relatives that need it.So this is invading their personal life and their financial support.Next the one with Joe Biden is horrible for both asylum and the citizens of America because now asylum seekers can't leave America or go into America then the citizens of America can't go in or out of America either since the border can get shut down if to many people are leaving or entering America.
my friends could think diffrent from me because asilum seekers could sometimes not get the rwenda to let the UK borrow some of their land when their land was in danged and I think that is not fair
I think Joe Biden' s attempt to close the border is unfair. America is supposed to be a country where all people are able to come in.Asylum seekers need to be safe no matter where they come from. Another reason is that people should not be forced to go to their home country where they do not feel safe .That is why we should let all Asylum seekers in at all times.If we don't there can be a war and we become Asylum seekers.
Transportation plays a crucial role in our daily leaves. From a moment we step out of our homes ,we rely on different means to reach our destination. Weather its a short commute to work or an adventurous journey across a global the options of a transportation are drivers and exciting .
Cars: the most common mode of tranporation for many ,cars provide convenience and flexibility . They allows us to travel comfortably and at our own pace , giving us the freedom to explore new places
Bysicles: not only a means of transportation ,but bysicles promote a healthy lifestyle and are envoremantally friendly .they are perfect for short distances, offering a refreshing way to commute while reducing our carbon footprint.
Trains: trains are a efficient mode of transportation for longer destance . They provide a smooth and relaxing journey allowing passenger to enjoy scenic views while reaching their distention in a timely manner.
Airplanes: for those seeking adventure or travelling long destences airplane are the go-to choice they offer speed and convenience , connecting people across the globe and making the world feel smaller.
Boats: weather its cruising on a loxouries sheep or sailing in a small boat, water transportation provides a unique experience. it allows us to explore vast oceans ,raivers and lakes, giving us a different perspective on travel
On a world filled with various means of transportation, we have the opportunity to choose a mode that best suits our needs and desires .each options offers its own advantages and charms, making a journey as exciting as the destination itself.
I think that the policy Germany has made feel unfair to the asylum seekers because they already knew that the asylum seekers needed financial support and they are now preventing them from transferring their money to their relatives or friends. On the other hand, this policy would be good for Germany as the asylum seekers will not come into that country as a result of that policy. Still, the asylum seekers will continue to go into other countries that had not made that particular policy.
In my opinion, the policy Joe Biden had tried to pass feels fair because the policy still allows the asylum seekers to go into the US. The policy would safe the country from overloading with asylum seekers but at the same time, still letting the asylum seekers to have a place to live. In contrast, it might not be a really good policy for the asylum seekers because if the border of the US has really shut down, the asylum seekers will have to find another place to live.
I think the policy Poland has made to the Ukrainians feels fair because as most people know, Russia and Ukraine is currently fighting. In the Ukrainians' point of view, it would be a really good policy as they experienced war. In the other asylum seekers' point of view, it would be a very unfair policy because they might have their own reasons to leave their home countries.
Overall, the only policy that feels unfair to me is Germany's policy about moving towards a card-based system. I think the other policy feels pretty fair.
The first statement seems unfair because for example, your mother needs some money because she has financial problems, since you're generous you want to give some money to your mother, but you can't because of the new card based money.
The second statement seems fair and unfair at the same time because of the different views people could have. One of the views someone would have is that they would disagree because migrants would want to immigrate to America because America has good jobs and you have rights and amendments that protect your rights. For example America's bill of rights specifically supports peoples rights in America. That's why they would want to come to America. If the borders are closed off they can't get into America, and they would have to do more work to get in the country they think is second best to them. One of the views they could have also had, is that they agree because, if too many people come to America, America would be packed. Also America would have less materials and more people so it would be beneficial to America to close down the borders.
The third statement I think is unfair because if Poland is providing protection in another country, their own country should have protection also instead of another country. Thank you for reading my opinions and other possible views people could have.
Hi wonderful Topical Talkers
I feel that Joe Biden's policy is unfair because these asylum seekers need shelter due to fear of prosecution or human rights violation and if he is allowing only few people to come to America, how will they survive and where will they lay their heads?
In this case, I feel that asylum seekers should be allowed and taken to another country.
I also feel that Germany's policy is unfair because an asylum seeker might need to send their relatives some money so that they can also leave the country of origin and join them. If this happens, the asylum seeker's relative might have to face any bad event occurring at the country of origin because of lack of money.
I feel that Poland's policy is equally fair even though they are refugees ( who seek resettlement) and not asylum seekers, it is good that they provide protection for those who seek resettlement and even though it occurs for a limited period of time, then during their stay in Poland, they can earn some money so that when their time is up, they can go to another country as asylum seekers. ( I think they should go to a country that does not have a policy to lead to their disadvantage as asylum seekers) I also think that it will be perfect if this policy in Poland was applied to asylum seekers who come to Poland.
However, vivacious engine thinks differently to me about Joe Biden's policy(rather agrees to his policy) because he/she thinks that the population will be too high and US will not want to pay all that money for the education and healthcare they need but I feel that to decrease their population, they can send some asylum seekers to another country as UK did by sending asylum seekers to Rwanda and the US can share the bill with the other country equally.
The UK to Rwanda policy was not said to be discussed about but I feel that this is better because the Supreme Court said it was unlawful and they cannot just reject people who need shelter so in this case, they will take them to Rwanda to be safe there. As it is always said, "A friend in need is a friend indeed'. I mentioned this because in times of trouble, UK still helped the asylum seekers. I think USA can do what UK has done by taking asylum seekers to another country.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS COMMENT OF MINE!!
I AM NEVER SATISFIED UNTIL I RECEIVE YOUR REPLIES!!!!
I think the agreement is both fair and unfair. If there are too many immigrants, the amount of supplies would be too little for the amount of people that were coming in currently. But, what if there was a war going on? People could be endangered by the war and have to immigrate to find safety in that case. So, the agreement could be both fair and unfair.
In my opinion, none of these policies seem fair to me. Firstly, the policy that German cities have placed is unfair to me because now the asylum seekers loved-ones wouldn't be able to receive the money that their relatives are sending to them. This money could be very important to them financially. I feel like Germany should still allow asylum seekers to their families. Secondly, I feel like the second policy is partially fair. In my opinion, the second policy is partially fair because if too many people are in one country this is called over-population. Over-population may be a problem for many living in America because, there may be a lack of resources and money in the country. I feel like it would be a bit unfair as well though.
Thanks chatty_knowledge! I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the third policy too
In my opinion, the third policy is partially fair as well. I feel like the third policy is partially fair because although what Poland has done was very good for the citizens in Ukraine, in June this might be a problem when Poland ends their help. This might be a problem because what if the Russia vs Ukraine war isn't over by then? Then Poland would be putting innocent lives at risk. Also, when Poland takes away their protection, healthcare, housing and education many people may have nowhere to go due to their homes in their homeland being destroyed. Poland is very kind for all that they have done for Ukraine but I still feel as though Ukrainian citizens should have the protection, housing, education and healthcare of Poland until the war is over.
Why might Poland not have offered support until the end of the war, chatty_knowledge?
Thank chatty_knowledge, you have clearly researched and thought about this third policy and have made me think more about it
In my opinion, the policies that are fair are Joe Biden, the president of America, attempting to pass a new agreement that states that the border could be shut down and would be reduced to a minimum. Also, the other policy that is fair is Poland and Ukraine. The policy of Joe Biden is fair in my opinion, because if America gets overpopulated this could cause finanicial issues for a lot of people. To add on, the policy with Poland and Ukraine is also fair. It is fair due to the fact that people actually still do care during the war between Russia and Ukraine that is still going on. The fact they are supporting them is way more than fair, in fact, it's fantastic.
I imagine that the infrastructure is completely ruined and that it would take a long period of time to restore everything. In addition to, I could make a inference that people would be ill. If Poland actually does take care of health care this is actually beneficial . The people that might think differently then my opinion is the people that is against my reasoning. The policy that feels unfair is in Germany. I think that this is unfair, because it would be unfair for asylum seekers to not be able to send money to relatives. What if someone is in need? What are your thoughts and feelings on this?
I think that Joe Biden´s policy is fair because as more inmigrants enter America the population would be incredible high and also more jobs and houses need to be created also USA don´t have all the money for the healthcare and other things they need to survive.Yes i know that the inmigrants escape of their country for a problem but they are more places to go not only USA.
Interesting ideas - where did you get your evidence from that the USA takes so many immigrants?
I like the way you think, but I think there are a few problems whith your coment.
First most of the Imigrants that go to USA are from México, El Salvador, Guatemalaand Honduras. Thes meens that they come from america (as the continent) and being realistic USA is the best option as the rest of america is in a similar way to those countries.
Second in the USA the healthcare is not "free" as here in Spain (I know that we pay it whith taxes but it is not all at one time as i USA) and that meens that if you go to the hospital you are going to pay the surgery so that technicali makes that USA dosn't loose money in healthcare.
Apart from that good intervention.
I agree with vivacious engine with the fact that Joe Biden's politics are fair, since America doesn't want its population to be solely made up of immigrants. I also think that the fact that Poland took some refugees in is the right thing to do. Poland gave refugees a place to be safe, a place to forget about war. They gave them a home.
Can you explain where you got your evidence from that America doesn't want its population to be solely made up of immigrants?
I feel that Germany's decision is fair. A lot of people migrate to other countries looking for better opportunities and try to take fake asylum for host country's citizenship and financial support. This results into wrong people getting asylum and people who actually need asylum and financial support are left behind. Card Based financial support will prevent wrong use of aid and help people who are need.
Interesting ideas. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?
I think the most fair one is Poland offering Ukraine refuges temporary protection because Ukraine is in the middle of a war and Poland are also given them aid and encouragement. It will also give Ukrainians a place of abode if Ukraine loses in the war. It is also a sign that Ukraine and Poland are becoming friends. If Poland breaks into a war in future and the Russia - Ukraine war have stopped, Ukraine can also give Poland aid too. Since Poland showed Ukraine hospitality they can show Poland will also enjoy hospitality from Ukraine latter (one good turn deserves another).
In my opinion, as the number of refugees increases, the strain on the economy of the host nation increase .A shortage of essential goods is created. There may be an increase in crime or even inflation .The local may lose their jobs .A problem of law and order may crop up . Many such problems may emerge. Due to these problems many nations are not ready to give shelter to refugees and to resettle them.
In my opinion my beliefs with Joe Biden are unfair because, when an immigrant crosses it is for a better life the U.S is our escape and would provide us with more for our future. Though Biden is concerned about high population rates in the U.S. His reasons are valid although the U.S could create more jobs for the immigrants by moving up investments that the public needs anyway. With people trying to get laws passed in Texas and Florida that state if you do not have papers they will deport you. Immigrants are some of the most hardworking people if you really think about it. So if reducing the amount of immigrants in the States that will cause a major drop in jobs and time the jobs take.
Firstly, I believe that the policy in Germany is completely unfair because it prevents immigrants from sending and receiving the financial support that they need to survive. Additionally, I have mixed feelings on the policy in the United States, while I think it is wrong to block immigrants who most likely have very valid reasons for immigrating to the U.S., it could also stop the country from being over populated with immigrants they do not know how to manage. Finally, I completely agree with Poland's decision to let immigrants into their country because these immigrants most likely do not have anywhere else to go.
I think that Poland's rule is the most fair because offering temporary protection will provide a safe space for those that cannot live safely. Everyone deserves access to education and healthcare. It shows that the two countries are allies and willing to help one another if a similar situation appears in the future.
i personally think that immigrants come in to a country for a better financial life for example to get more money because maybe their home country may pay less money so they come here to learn more money that there country may not have .
They might also left their country because maybe their country was in a war and they had to leave because it was getting serious but this also can affect the immigrants who choose to come to a different country because it might be over populated and to crowded for that they might also lose allot of resources but the other good thing is that it can spread and introduce their own culture and maybe that will create peace so overall i do think immigration is a good thing but if they are going to go to a different country its best if they go to a over populated country like japan .
Did you mean "over populated" - when there are already too many people?
I feel both Poland's and America's policies are fair. I think that America's policies are fair because if too many migrants come into the country it will be hard for the country as it is already overpopulated and proven based on the calculation of people living per square mile of arable land. Overpopulation is at the core of many U.S. environmental issues. These policies will help combat these issues. I also feel Poland's policies of offering Ukrainian refugees temporary protection is fair because based on what I read "At least 10,000 civilians, including more than 560 children, have been killed and over 18,500 have been injured since Russia launched its full-scale armed attack against Ukraine."(United Nations in Ukraine). With all of these casualties, I think that offering Ukrainians temporary protection is fair and generous. The only policy I feel is unfair is Germany's policy. The policy states "... moving towards a card-based system for support, rather than bank payments. This is to prevent asylum seekers from transferring the money to others, such as relatives in their country of origin" This is unfair because if asylum seekers can't send money back to their families in their country of origin that could potentially be in poverty it would be rather cruel.
I think that in this situation, Joe Biden is being fair. Overpopulation may become a problem as the US might not be able to provide the money and resources to all of their citizens. There's a limit to how many supplies the US can provide for it's citizens; and if too many people migrate to the US , they may not have the amount of resources as well as enough money to pay for everyone's healthcare and education.
I believe that Joe Biden's policy is completely fair as if too many immigrants begin to enter the population will shoot up and inevitably be too high. I don't think that it is fair to America to flood their country with lots of people. It is more than fair that they reduce immigrants to the minimum as they still let immigrants in unlike some countries. However to refugees this could seem incredibly unfair as some people are let in but others are not and they could take it personally.
What do you mean by the population will be "too high"?
By stating that the population was 'too high' I meant that the country would be so full that food, water, energy would be in greater demand, causing greater division between the poor and rich, increasing poverty. In addition to this I was saying how the country wouldn't be stable and they would have to increase the amount of homes and they would cost more. Healthcare would be affected and would cost even more than it usually does. There would be a lack of jobs meaning that a lot of people will be living in poverty leading to crime.
To start things off quick I would probably believe that Germany and the Joe Biden one well politics are unfair. Like I can understand where Joe Biden is coming from and like if too many immigrants come to America the population would overflow and eventually be so much money America is going to go into debt. One that is super Fair is that the Russia and Ukraine War that's still going on offering houses and safety to everyone in the war will not in the war but still knowing that they might get hurt it is very fair that they came in clutch. So to my conclusion I believe that the two are not fair well besides Biden he knows where he's coming from and that the Ukraine and Russia War is very fair.
Having read all the policies, I believe that Germany's policy on immigration is the best. This is because it allows the country to take in migrants without the worry (both real and imagined) that they'll just take the money and run. It ensures that those moving to Germany are doing so for safety reasons and/or to start a new life in Germany rather than just using it as a stepping stone by taking advantage of other nations generosity. Rather than blocking out those who genuinely want to start a new life and need safety from their own country, it only stops those who attempt to exploit a nations generosity for their own financial gain (which is how many sterotype immigrants as, this policy helps to combat this and show people that this is only a very small percentage of people)
Germany’s new system with cards might seem fair because it stops money from being sent away, but others might think it’s unfair because it limits what asylum seekers can do with their money.
President Biden wants to close borders if too many people try to come in, which some people think is fair for safety reasons, but others say it’s unfair because it could stop people who need help from getting in.
Poland offering help to Ukrainian refugees might seem fair and kind to some, but others might think it’s unfair because it doesn’t help refugees from other places.
Different people might think differently based on whether they prioritize safety, helping others, or following rules.
I think Poland's offer is the fairest policy because, after all, Ukrainians do not choose to escape their country, but are forced by war. The most unfair policy is the German one. Why can't an immigrant use money earned in Germany to send to his family in his native country? Imagine that you have escaped your country, you went to Germany without family, you get a job and when you go to send money to your family who is still in your home country, you can't. It would be very sad, don't you think?
Everything said before is my opinion but probably an immigrant may think that Joe Biden's policy is the worst since it reduces their opportunities to reach the United States.
Thank you for reading.
I think Poland's policy seems to be fair. As a citizen of this world, it is important to understand that we should live in harmony and if someone faces any problem, we should be open to helping them. If I were them I would have tried to do the same. By this Poland proves what being a humanitarian is. We need to critically understand that loosing your identity as a citizen is a serious issue. Therefore, one needs to focus on helping others.
I believe, Germany's policy is something I might not support. It seems as if they are depriving people of doing something they have a right to do. Though the german government mught feel differently because they might have a better explaination to why they think is a good step.
Hi wonderful folks.
I disagreed with Joe Biden's policy but after several hours of brainstorming and extra analysis, I realised that his policy is equally fair because as more asylum seekers invade a country, it poses extra
burden on the receiving country. However, I disagree with Germany's policy because it is unfair to prevent immigrants from sending money to their country because some of these immigrants are bread winners of their families who want to seek for greener pastures to support their families. Thank you
Greetings,
I think that Joe Biden's and Poland's policies are fair. As the president of a country he or she has to make a careful and smart decision about the policies of their country. Joe Biden trying to reduce immigrants by creating an agreement is absolutely fair in my opinion as the population of the country can increase rapidly and cause over population of too many immigrants try to enter. It can also lead to things like lack of food, place, supplies,jobs etc. if over population is caused . If there is too much population the government won't be able to provide them all with proper education .So, I think that Joe Biden's policy is fair. As for Poland's policy, it is really nice and kind of them for providing essential things to Ukraine as not only soldiers but also citizens and other people are also involved in it.
Thanks
I think Joe Bidens statement is fair because if too many migrants are trying to enter the US without money and haven't got a proper life in the US, the United states of Amercia would struggle to accomodate them. Its like a house thats holding a party and if the house has got too many people and more strangers want to come in, you have no choice but to lock the door.
I think Joe Biden's choice was fair because if the immigrants keep coming into America, the population would too full and the poor USA would have to pay money for all the immigrants well-beings and needs.It's like water if it's gone too full it pours out.Referring to vivacious_engine's point if USA let's some people in and if some of those people are families they could be torn apart and they could be forced to never see them again.For an immigrant,they must find a situation like this very difficult.
I think that Joe Biden's policies are fair because to many immagrants can cause a lot of trouble because it can cause a lot of problems as they don't have a home so it can cause a lot of homelessness in the country and Joe Biden is trying to make his country safe.
I understand Germany, if they were to give immigrants actual money they could try sending back home to try and help. This could lead the the immigrants not having enough to buy essentials and mean the government would need to provide more which could add up overtime if it happened enough.
I don't realy agree with Joe Biden but I understand where he's coming from. If loads of asylum seekers go to America then it would be too cramped to be able to support them and actually provide help and if they only let a few through then they can help those few more then they can help a large group. But what if being cramped and having less is better then what they had before? Maybe before they had nothing and had no freedom and if America provided freedom and even a little bit of food and water or money then it could help them out even though it doesn't seem like much to those who may be upper-class or live in safe countries and have never been oppressed but it could mean a lot to them. Helping out a large group and saving more people then only saving a few that get treated better is a much better way to go about things in my opinion but I don't think it's just in my opinion I think many people would agree, especially those who have had to suffer with immigration. Though I may be wrong since I have

I think Poland had the right idea on how to go about doing things. It was kind and generous to help out Ukraine not just with asylum and stuffing them in massive communal houses but they actually let them have the opportunity to own their own home while staying in Poland, the children going to school there and health care. Poland looked after Ukraine as if it were their own people which Is why I admire what they did so much, they helped out with no strings attached. Which is why I think Poland were the country with the right idea.
Reposting because I accidently hit thr comment button while half way through writing. :)
I believe that none of the proposals are wrong, but I don't think they are correct either, in my opinion they only seek their own well-being at any level (economic, social, political...), therefore it seems to me that Germany's proposal is logical but a little selfish, since they only seek not to lose income, since if the money is transferred to another country that money is no longer spent in Germany, although there are cases that make you think about whether this law is completely correct and beneficial for everyone.
However, I think that the United States proposal is wrong because even if they try to stop overpopulation, I think that, like Germany, this will cause them to lose income because although at first people arrive without money, if they want to live comfortably they go. to having to look for a job, this generates income and jobs.
For me, the clear example of help is Poland. They are helping one of the most damaged countries in the world today, such as Ukraine, without expecting anything in return.
In conclusion, there should be more countries that follow Ukraine's initiative but unfortunately everyone thinks about their own benefit and it is something that should change in all societies.
the rule on borders being shut down is really unfair because think about if the USA was in a war and they had to leave their country . imagine everyone shut down their borders and didn't let hem in.
where would they go?
what would they do?
think about if that was you!
Every one of these is fair, except for the policy in Germany. it is just unfair, as what if a relative is needing despirate support and they are in another country? That is what I am wondering. Poland has the best policy out of all of them, as they give basic humanitarian needs, and also are actually very supportive. America's policy is also good. And as i said, Germany's policy that is spreading is just bad. Thank you for reading this comment.
I Do think that Joe Biden's rules are fair but if you are an immigrant running away from people in your country they need places to stay in their country
I agree with Joe Biden's policies because if a lot of immigrants go to America or to another country, it would be very difficult for the country to take care of all them, and after all, It is not their responsability, spending a lot of money in immigrants will lead to a mayor problem in the future for the country as the majority of them do not try to help the country in return from all those helps and I think that true American cititens need to have more rights to have money helps than the immigrants.
I agree with Joe Biden's policies because a lot of immigrants goal is to go to USA and live there. Immigrants don't have a lot of money and USA wouldn't pay their rents. Also healthcare in USA are expensive and I think immigrants don't have that much money. I think Poland did really good and nice thing by offerring immigrants from Ukraine protection. Poland offerred them place to stay for a while, education and healthcare.
Can you think of any positive effects of immigration?
In America it is unfair because if they shut the borders down but there is a war nobody can get into America
i agree with president joe biden,because if a lot of migrants would be coming into america then it would get overpopulated. it can also increase the amount of people who are homeless, if some migrants do not have any money.
What ways could you prevent homelessness? What could you do as a leader to support people arriving in your country?
It is unfair that people can't send money to relatives in different countries as they may not be asylum seekers but just people in need of money or your family. I think the second one is quite fair as England is always where asylum seekers go and builders are always converting our fields into houses because of immigrants. The third one is fair as everyone deserves a house and food as these people are travelling away from war and it is not their fault. We can all look after one another as God's children to try and make the world a better place.
It is peoples own choice to transfer money as it is theirs as long as they don't do anything bad with it. England can't be a home for everyone. England can only hold a certain amount of people financially and physically. Refugees are people in need not slaves and they shouldn't have to risk their lives to find a safe place to stay. Poland did the right thing.
It is unfair that people have got to go to card-based rather than bank payments because some people may need more money financially than others but it is people choice how they want to spend their money not ours as long as they use it correctly.
I think that the second one is a bit unfair because people that need a home cant have one since they would have put up borders but its not all completely unfair which is because land for farming, animals and other creatures has got to go since the country may not have enough houses for people to live in.
The third one is fair because people should have the protection since they cant make and stop the war and people should all care for each other.
I feel as if Joe Biden's agreement was quite fair, for too many immigrants can cause an overpopulation for certain states, plenty of immigrants seem to be coming in which brings a high risk. Joe Biden would shut down the border in a beneficial mannerism Biden would be providing for his country by keeping a great balance of people who may migrate.
I think the least fair rule is from america and that is that they want to reduce the amount of migrants that leave and enter their country. I think that because if there is no more countries that they could go to then they would be left in the country that could be dangerous. This could lead to serious injuries or even death.
I disagree with highsprited_concept because they UK don't have a home to stay if is you can't even sacrifice your own wealth for them but if you can't I can because my mom has ever told me be grateful and be helpful am just reviling this to you so you but it be very bad to send them away but if they come to me I can sacrifice wealth sleep on a bedsheets and I will arrange my bed properly for them to sleep on and will give them breakfast ,lunch ,dinner.
I think that refugees deserve to have a place of safety as it is not their fault if there was a conflict in their country of origin. On the other side of the argument countries have a population limit for a reason. Currently in England they are turning lots of our open spaces into flats and houses for homeless people and refugees.
Are we over populated?
Our social services are struggling to cope with the needs of us all. We can help some of the refugees but our country has a limit. On the other side we need more people to step up to certain roles. Carers , hospitality , fruit pickers etc...... but these are low paying jobs.
I do not believe that this is a fair rule because we should accept everyone #equality
I think joe's new law if fair because if there are too much people there won't be enough resources for everyone and the government might become bankrupt.
I don't think that joe biden's policies are fair because people from really poor countries with bad healthcare and education would want to move to a better country with a better environment better conditions to live in. I think everyone should be given the opportunity to live somewhere new where they can live a better life and care for their children. Especially if their home country is in war.
I disagree with you because, Joe Biden is doing these policies because to much immigrants are coming to America and, well it's just keep increasing! And the USA, won't have the money to provide any education and healthcare for the immigrants and children, who need it. I mean the family's of the refugees, will be torn! Can you imagine that? Anyway, thanks for reading this comment!
Poland extended a helping hand to Ukrainian refugees by providing them with protection after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. I feel that this is a fair plan because who knows if other countries would be willing to help. After the invasion, Ukraine had no source of help from anyone. Their economy was troubled, the people were sick and many were deceased after the invasion.
