  • However, from a leftist perspective the correct solution is to stop exploiting the third world and allow it to develop itself (actually, the correct solution is to pay reparations)

    I absolutely agree. So to tackle this issue from the immigration end first is really putting the cart before the horse.

    If you have a choice between imperialism and refugees die, or imperialism and refugees live, the choice is obvious.

    That’s where we’re at, no? I fully appreciate that this is a symptom of imperialism, but what’s why it’s so much incredibly important that the left be taking it on as a fight against Imperialism, not joining the right in fighting immigration.

    Once countries are at similar levels of development and there is no longer pressure that extracts skilled labor from the less developed to the more developed, this ceases to be an issue altogether

    I completely agree again, you’ve made excellent points here and I think we agree on the theory, I don’t agree that the execution is following through.

    Especially because the other important point that keeps getting missed is the BSW wants to increase police presence and funding. IF, the BSW was looking to pay indigenous people reparations to stay in the country to counter immigration, I would be all for it. But their plan sounds a lot more like a reflection of the US imperial core and ICE.
