You can’t colonize and ultimately destabilize a country for your own country’s benefit then get upset when people from said country move to your country to flee the poor conditions you created 💀

The difference is power dynamics. Under colonialism, the native people were in the disempowered position, and were displaced. Under the current immigration regime, said immigrants are usually in the disempowered position. Because they are less powerful, they don’t displace native inhabitants in the same way.

So you admit that countries with a past of colonialism made these “problems” they’re complaining about for themselves?
