This one reason why I can not take sides with those that insist the borders of Countries need to be closed to foreign migrants , illegal and otherwise, so as to ensure a given country can “take care of its own” first.
The disasters in places like Africa, the Middle East and Latin America are the result of the First Worlds interventions in those regions as they try to plunder them of their wealth. Africa is being LOOTED by the Western Nations. It is a very rich Continent as far as resources go but its wealth is being drained away in the way of profits to fatten the pockets of the “investor Class”. The despots that are at the head of so many Countries in Africa are there because they are propped up by those same Western Nations.
That unrest in the Countries of Africa is encouraged by Nations and Corporate interests in those same Western Countries so that those Countries can claim the “responsibility to protect” and insert Military forces so as to ensure that plunder ongoing.
Colonialism is part of the base upon which Capitalism was built. Capitalism is failing as the Bankers in those Western Countries have looted their own of all the wealth so those Nations resort to “Austerity” and Colonialism to keep their rotten and corrupt systems functional.
