1. La Pobreza Extrema como Principal Motor de la Migración Forzada.
La mayoría de las personas migran no por elección, sino huyendo de condiciones de vida insostenibles, incluyendo la pobreza extrema, la violencia, la guerra y la opresión. Muchos textos señalan la responsabilidad de las políticas occidentales y el colonialismo en la creación de esta inestabilidad.
- People are fleeing poverty, violence and autocrats, injustice, food and water shortages, loss of land.
- The vast majority of our fellow human beings would rather not leave their home country but do so only because life has become impossible there through no fault of their own. Poverty, criminals in power, natural disasters, war force people to flee.
- Most of the migrants that enter the u.s. Are poor. Poorer then the u.s. Standard of poor. Even so they travel from south and central america to the us to flee extreme poverty.
- Migration is rapidly increasing because of poverty, the climate crisis dictator wars - all are anthropogenic.
2. Explotación Económica y la Pobreza de los Inmigrantes en Destino.
A pesar de buscar una vida mejor, los inmigrantes a menudo son explotados en los países de destino, trabajando por salarios de pobreza o en condiciones de "esclavitud moderna". Esta mano de obra barata es esencial para ciertas industrias, y la amenaza de deportación mantiene la coerción.
- The migrants they came to escape violence, rape, and abject poverty. They arrived to second class existence, slave labor conditions and broken promises of pathways to a decent life in america.
- These migrants pick our food, build our houses, and work in our restaurants. All for near poverty level wages. And we reward them by locking them up in cages.
- The bastards want conditional citizenship, where people can be coerced into whatever horrible low paying labor that is needed to prop up the lifestyles of the elite. The threats of poverty and deportation are necessary to maintain that coercion in the absence of outright slavery.
- Immigrants absolutely are stealing jobs. Theyre h1-b visa holders, imported by corporations for poverty wages after the corp couldnt find american workers.
3. La Inmigración como Distracción de la Pobreza Doméstica y la Desigualdad.
Numerosos comentarios critican cómo los políticos y los medios utilizan la inmigración como chivo expiatorio para desviar la atención de problemas estructurales internos como la desigualdad de riqueza, la austeridad y la pobreza que afectan a los ciudadanos.
- Migrants are being scapegoated. It is a distraction from the real problems people are facing homelessness, hunger and discrimination. Poverty is a political choice, founded in inequality.
- It is political failure that has made people believe immigration is their biggest problem. It is a huge distraction from the root causes of poverty and inequality.
- The far-right peddles myths that migrants refugees are to blame for rising bills and the cost-of-living crisis. In truth, government choices shaped by the super-rich big corporations are driving poverty and injustice.
- Immigration isnt a problem poverty is the issue.
4. El Dilema Legal: Asilo por Persecución vs. Pobreza Económica.
Existe una tensión legal y moral sobre si la pobreza debe ser motivo de asilo. Aunque la ley generalmente no lo considera una base válida, la pobreza extrema a menudo se entrelaza con la violencia y la persecución, forzando a las personas a migrar ilegalmente.
- Still high asylum is for dangerous situations like war and persecution poverty is not a reason for asylum.
- Overcoming poverty is a perfectly good reason to want to immigrate. And some people immigrate legally for just that reason. But thats not the same thing as claiming asylum.
- Fear of persecution is legal grounds for asylum. Poverty is not.
- Poverty is oppression would reduce your understanding of immigration. Immigrants who flee poverty are work migrants, which means that work migrant rules apply.
