Anti-immigration argument...

...dealing with a specific one here. I just want to know why those that argue it can't see the absurdity of their position.

Their argument goes "Why is it always men of fighting age that come over, if they are escaping from a war, why can't they stay and fight their enemies."

Let's run with that, lets say they are escaping from a civil war, or their country is being invaded by another country.

In the first case, if it is a civil war and they stay and fight and win, then two things can happen.

1) The men of fighting age on the now losing side...emigrate to escape the consequences! 😂

or

2) They get better weapons from other countries and we go back to square one.

In the case of invasion from another country, well...the same two things would happen. As the now winning country would not stop at their own borders after repelling the invaders. They would invade the erm...aggressor and dispose that government and the young men of fighting age in that country would emigrate! 🤣

So, either way, you are stuck "with men of fighting age".

It’s an easier option for them to live off another country’s hard earned standard of living than fix their own countries problems.

If it really is asylum they are after, they can all go back the moment the war ends, right?

@AdmiralPrune You mean it was all a conspiracy? They engineered the war to live off another countries higher standard of living. That is some serious planning...

@AdmiralPrune Right after all the white people in America go back to Europe. I mean the oppression their ancestors were fleeing from is over.

@Wol62 No I wouldn’t say there was a conspiracy or engineered war. I just think they don’t have the balls to fight for their country, they’d rather deliver fast food in mine.

@AdmiralPrune Are one of these people who is willing to fight war(s) to the last drop of other peoples' blood?

@Wol62 When cities in my country were getting flattened by the Luftwaffe, we didn’t all get in boats to the the next country. We stayed, shouldered the sacrifice and fought back. Nobody for for that do it could be consumed by people who run away.
