Population in Africa is going to double to 2.4billion by 2050. If just 1% decides to come to Europe, that is 24.000.000 migrants just from Africa. Let's take that 50% of them is educated (optimistic number), that makes 12.000.000 unskilled workers in an era of computerisation and mechanisation. Labourers are less needed every decennia, so they'll stay jobless, get welfare and do nothing because there is no work.
Also Europe is realizing that its welfare needs change because it's getting out of control, those people will put an extra strain on it.
And those migrants probably won't invest in the countries of arrival, because they are dirt poor, even if they are considered whealty in their own country. Mostly all the money they had went to pay smugglers for their trip to Europe (still with risk of their own life). So the state has to provide housing for them or they'll end up in the streets. But also medical care has to be paid for them (yes in Europe the state pays it for you), because mostly they didn't had any vaccination or arrive underfed or sick.
And mostly it are even just men that arrive. But don't worry, in Europe they have the right of family reunion. So that's another 2-3 people, -no make that 6 because its Africa- that will arrive. So more workers, yay? No their wives don't work (but still get paid unemployment compensation).
But hey, it's our duty to help those people right.
So it's also our duty to import poverty.
And it's our duty to pay for those countries incompetence to create a decent state.
I'm not against those people, only against mass migration. We need to help them, but at the source, not in our homes.
