Trouble in Western Europe?Dozens of African migrants have stormed a refugee center in Paris set up for Ukrainians, claiming its a center for white power.They say Ukrainians receive roofs over their heads while African migrants must sleep in the streets pic.twitter.com/G0pIUkCv3L— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) July 19, 2022
People who come to other countries like this have to work so hard to barely get by. No one wants to acknowledge the forces that made them want to leave their home country in the first place. Westerners just ignore any culpability and demonize certain migrants :us-foreign-policy:
the forces that made them want to leave their home country in the first place
Especially relevant considering these were African migrants and it's in France, the Western country still most involved in trying to run large parts of Africa like a colony.
It isn't even as though the French don't have a ravenous demand for cheap African labor. The state bureaucracy just loves to haze southern migrants as a kind-of ritualized punishment for crossing Mediterranean.
As soon as they're legalized, they get snapped up by employers hungry for below-market rate talent and desperation-driven hard work. They rapidly urbanize their corners of the city and boost the flagging economy. Their kids leap head first into the local culture, excited to fit in. They pay far more than their fair share of taxes, they're far less likely to commit crime, they outperform in school, and they generally make the country happier, healthier, and wealthier.
French authorities just feel the need to kick them in the ribs for a year or a decade or a lifetime, because they can.
