I am so pleased to see so much common sense in a Guardian comments section! ? I am anti the bs that’s going on in the west but came here to have my pov challenged, seems we’re all in agreement ????

Comes.around go a round...the west spent centuries colonizing other taking ressources and building theirs beautiful nations then like it was not enougg they establish sistema war sistema political sistema to make the third courntries lides very bad now they need more ressources só they Open border as partnership but their tour chilrldren dont understand the deal behind now the karma is happening

Many of them were spies for the west against t@liban. Now the t@liban is in power and their life is in danger therefore they think its the duty of europe to help them.

In order to avoid emigration, it is necessary not to destroy other countries. Is it difficult? The West?

These politicians go on n on about democracy this,democracy that. Who in the west voted for this ? It’s about time ppl start talking about this. This conversation should of happened many years ago !

Punjab has ruined the entire West

Let the West stop wars across the globe and there will be no immigration. Each one of us don't want to leave our countries.

The societies, culture (and indigenous peoples in Europe) are being swept aside in favour of these new settler groups, and people are sick of it. People have taken advantage of the West's open societies, generous welfare, and accommodations to different groups. But now the West is realizing that these people don't want to celebrate and join their society, they want to replace it with their own.

The west is not a destination for the entire world. If you want a better life, work to make that a reality in your home country.

I'm just curious as big as their countries are why don't they develop their own countries with the resources that they have instead of coming to the West? I'm just saying build up your own country's first ,please don't say we have gangs, drugs and corrupt government ?

Same throughout the entire west .. I’m in the england where our prime minister has gone full blown dictator

I’m awake guy and my wife is from Togo West Africa and her opinion is when you work at a job you speak English you have to hang out with people from Canada you have to assimilate

Because no one in the West wants to be invaded and colonised. Name me one white European Christian in political office in the middle east.

The West will be destroyed by third world immigration.

The West has failed. Both Canada and USA are nations of immigration ?

The west will pay dearly for being so extraordinarily naive. Cause of death of the west … “empathy”.

This is happening almost everywhere in the West. I don't have as much of an issue with immigrants as I do with consistently bad leaders who will not deal with the issues.

So Ironic isn't it, the West invade other countries for a long time and know they deliberately get themself invade.

The corporate cnuts want to overwhelm the west with cheap labor, profits = national destruction

Am watching from west Africa country Nigeria....❤❤❤❤

Im from Germany and what most people dont know/realize is that for instance Putin not only causes masses of immigrants due to his hostile wars but also advocates false advertisements about german immigration laws/benefits and lures these immigrants to Germany via the Belarus route in order to destabilize the west.

Pretty much lured international students to Canada to be debt slaves. This is another form of exploitation practiced in the West.

I think Asia and the Middle East need to stay in their shot holes instead of coming to west and ruining it.

West people just don't seem to understand global politics lol. The government isn't stupid.

The west stole ressources and triggered wars in the countries where these immigrants come from.

the west has always been welcoming immigrants, be it to meet job demands, or asylum for refugees from less well to do countries, or even retirement. It is okay to let some/ quota for immigrants but i felt recently it has gotten so much it is affecting locals, in terms of property prices, cost of living and rental rates, all increasing due to more demand. plus, over tourism is also pushing out locals. the world is so different from 10 years ago. once immigrants settle, they will set root and apply for PR / citizenship because the standard of living is much higher than their original country. and when population increases, it's going to cause even more pain to the locals. meanwhile, the west is shifting to lower cost countries to live and retire, albeit at a slower rate.

India has more problems than China has because India is 3X more corrupt and dangerous than China.Indians will have to stay in India and NEVER leave the country for the West!The Modi needs to turn into NORTH KOREA where no one can leave even with permission.The west will be poorer than SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA and will be a wasteland because of mass Indian migration INVASION!!!!!Pleass Narendra Modi,You should transform into NORTH KOREA where no one can leave for CENTURIES even after you will not be alive.Also Xi Jinping needs to properly manage the Chinese economy so no Chinese people can leave for better opportunity in the west or whatever!!!!!

Its not far right that's dangerous. The west have given away your country's to criminals and foreigners the working class had enough. Are Caucasians the only people whit no right to exist in their own lands?

Indian mass migration is a huge problem to the west

The west will start to look more like third world , the more third world you bring in. ?

It is a human trafficking and wage-depression scheme. Immigration should be spousal-only in the West, for the foreseeable future. This prevents brain drain in developing countries, as well as protecting the native- born citizens of the West from the unrest that comes from invasion.

The west and Europe is experiencing self destruction thanks to liberal policies.

All the west belong to native Americans if you say stop immigration

This only applies to Arab immigrants :) and maybe Indians but Ukrainians are fine that's what the west thinks just racism

Same is happening in all of the west. Western leaders are shaking in their boots rn, they are scared for their life and for their power. The collaborators in the legal system are also a bit shaken. They know that they will have their lifes ruined.

2 billion people in the East Indies can't fix their societies, move to the west where its business as usual and to no benefit of locals.

The West cannot absorb the entire world \n\nEurope is being destroyed and Canada and America are next

This must be what the native Americans witnessed when whites stormed the west and took their land. Funny how history repeats itself!

Muslims hate the west!!! ? \nAlso Muslims: \n\nAnd please spare me with the “stop bombing their countries”\nThose places have been poor and their countries ? holes for hundreds of years…

It’s no coincidence this displacement of those from the third world to the west. All a parent of WEF.

People say it applies to the west but the truth is the East doesn’t take immigrants

Canada and the West don't need more people

The problem is the poor countries have and had so many children and now there is no real life posibilities so they just look for opportunities to move to the West.\nThese poor countries still a lot of newborns and this problem needs to stoped now limmit even turist visits yet alone give out visas to stay !

The Guardian, gaslighting the indigenous populations of the West, as usual.

because people never voted for it? (same for the whole west) muh democracy,

Guardian: blaming foreigners for raising rental is scapegoating\n\nExcuse me? Do people not understand supply and demand? Is the west so uneducated?

All over the West, because we’re tired of corrupt governments who harm its citizens and homeland.

Our tolerance in the West has become a noose. I used to believe in multiculturism- I no longer feel this way.

Enforcing immigration law is not xenophobia. The sooner the West embraces that, the sooner we'll have our countries back.
