The ad-hoc country of arrival system that has existed up to now isn't going to work much longer. With climate change headlines the way they have been the last few months how much longer before we start seeing millions of people moving from areas which are no longer inhabitable.
The present system is for someone to wait until they require asylum, then pay criminals to smuggle them to the wealthiest country they can afford to get to. It's senseless.
I recommend everyone check out the "immigration gumballs" video on YouTube or elsewhere. It is old and has been updated a few times. The fact is that mass migration to wealthy/developed countries is not a strategy to defeat global poverty (or many other problems). We are all better served to improve the countries of origin through technology, diplomacy, trade and economic development.
