A nice read,

Immigration has many pulls and with that comes all sorts of immigrants whether great, average and terrible.

Unfortunately Western countries and bureaucracies seem to have committed the usual sin of developing processes that:

- make it incredibly hard for good immigrants to migrate, contribute and naturalise themselves legally.

- at the same time leaving lots of gaping holes of exploitation for criminals and other immigrants who are just looking for a meal ticket or to enter illegally and abuse our high trust societies.

Couple this with a news and media setup that optimises for covering news of bad migrants whilst hardly broadcasting news about good migrants.
