Since the time I've familiarized myself with the concept of free-floating capital, while being taught Marxian politeconomy at class, I've come to a simple conclusion. If you can freely move capital across the border, it's only natural to suggest that labour should be alowed to travel across the border freely as well. While imagining this, I shudder. Moving these great masses of people might lead to disastrous consequences in social aspect, that's why we're giving people jobs at home instead inviting them to our place.
Time has passed, we don't create jobs for other people at their home anymore, so en masse they moved over here. Say, take Ukraine. A country with standards of living traditionally a tad, but higher than ours, an industrually developed country may I add that used to build aircraft carriers and all that sh*t. It used to... today, the average wage is like 3 times lower than it is over here and half of younger people are abroad trying to make a living, majority are over here. Paradigm have changed with very cloudy prospects what to do next.
That's what... not really angers, but bothers me most when I think about immigrants. The questions of racism (stupid word), or hate (that's better) do not even come into my mind. Why? We lived in the same country not so long ago, out of which 10 years of my childhood I lived near Samarkand, which is modern Uzbekistan, a place majority of gastarbeiters came from. So whenever I come across our janitor, I stain my mind to think of few Uzbek words to have a chat, becaue we're last generation that has been raised in the spirit of 'friendship of nations', Soviet internationalism like it or not. Younger generations don't have this.
