Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Or the everyone is just ignoring the issue.
Rhetorically because this conversation is going to go nowhere. What would need to happen for immigration to actually be an issue?
Because people that tell us low wages (not GDP increase but working class wages for locals), high house prices, and other things people mention like losing culture and crime increasing isn't an issue. So what would it take for it to be an issue.
A lot of people, usually the rich that own businesses and land and can make money off immigration, say it's not a problem. I think rather than choosing a side and ignoring the issues people should wonder what would be a bad outcome then looking at things after.
The rich making money off immigration isn't an issue with the immigrants, it's that we don't force companies to pay all their workers the same wage, regardless of status. That's a regulatory problem, not an immigration problem.
None of this is related to immigration. Immigrants aren't raising housing prices. With crime you have to actually prove that that's immigrants committing more crimes than Europeans and what kind of crime. They call brown immigrants criminals and rapists here too, and it's simply not true, they commit crimes at the same rate as citizens.
You have to understand that this is a pattern we see over, and over throughout history; when fascists want to seize control they blame immigrants for all of socieyies woes. And they do so only with rhetoric or twisted facts, not the truth.
You never really answered the question though. What would have to happen for immigration to be a problem in your eyes? I'm just trying to get you to open you mind rather than sitting on your team. Look at the situation objectively first.
No its basic supply and demand for both wages and for housing. If you have a limited supply and demand increases prices can only increase. Is supply increases and demand the same wages go down.
Denmark has run the numbers for crime by country of origin which is direct proof. But then places like Sweden also have indirect proof like now having to keep a record of grenade attacks when they didn't 20+ years ago.
It's a real wonder why people with less possibilities can become influenced by crime, regardless of birthplace, and still countries push new residents into those situations
You mean bringing in people like that.
A country could you know. Not bring them in. Issue is solved then.
There is so much in this sentence to unpack im not sure where to begin.
Are you saying they magically become different people once they are in the country?
A country can choose to let that person in or not.
Do you honestly believe people think that?
Not bring who in? What's the deciding factor, precogs evaluating if someone does crime in the future? Not bring people who are born there and already stuck in lower classes. The problems don't care about immigration, it's the bourgeoisie waging class warfare.
Well lots of countries have immigration requirements or points based systems. So it is obvious that countries already use means to choose which immigrants it wants.
This just needs expansion. You look at immigrants or children of immigrants that commit more crime than locals or contribute less than locals and you don't bring them in. Because bringing them in makes the country worse.
It's obviously an average but that is all immigration requirements are.
That doesn't make sense, a new immigrant is in no way responsible for someone else's crime
Why don't they just let anyone in they? Why have rules on which people are allowed to immigrate and which aren't?
Good idea
Just let less immigrants in. No need for a pre-cog.
It's not their fault, why punish so
How is it a punishment?
So you are moving to a new street, but suddenly it's not allowed because someone else maybe did something. You don't know why, what, who, but your rights have been lessened. That's how
Its not a right. Its not "a new street", its a country.
And to continue your metaphor, theres literally not enough houses on the street.
There's plenty of houses. Street or city or country, it doesn't matter. There's no valid reason to prevent innocent individuals from choosing any of them. Sounds like a right, why wouldn't it be
Canadians cant even find a house anymore, much less buy one. The UK is paving the country side. House supply is down, they literally cant build quick enough to handle the influx.
I think you and I have fundementally different ideas about immigration and what a country is.
Yes. I don't see it as the root cause for issues which exist regardless of it
The matve population of canada is shrinking. The only reason its growing is immigration, and they literally cant build enough houses to keep up. Theres not enough construction workers and not enough hours in a day.
Its 100% the fault of immigration.
Yeah it's pretty sad what is happening to the population of Inuit and First Nation Indians in Canada.
Forced assimilation and discrimination have really shrunk Canada's truly native population.
I know you were being snarky, but theyre a great example of why immigration is bad. They will never recover.
All those African colonies that France ruled for centuries; immigrants from those countries should be denied, just because they are ~~Black~~ immigrants?
Not becayse theyre black, but because theres simply too many immigrants. A country can only handle so much.
Lock your door and never go out.
What a solution!
