I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

What if we lowered the demand for migration? Why can we not make it more desirable to live in Africa or in Central America? Colonialism has been labeled a great evil but what the irony! The US, Britain and France stopped colonializing the world and now the world is coming to them.
While colonialism would indeed improve the lives of the colonized, it's not worth it to the colonizer. Colonies were a net resource sink done for prestige and because some elites were enriched by it (usually the expense of the rest of the host country). I don't think trying to rule these countries is the best use of the kind of talent that could pull it off.
The White Man's Burden had its chance and has been relegated to the dustbin of history.
Anyway, for Hive Mind genetic reasons, the third world can never be made into a decent place to live.
