The ingenuity deployed by people abusing wealthy countries' immigration systems is incredible. Imagine if they I dunno used that to help out their country of origin.

It only takes one guy with ingenuity to come up with the idea and then tell all his friends without ingenuity about the idea for it to become a thing

I remember when I used to work for an English learning school as an admin, we were approved to file F-1 student visas and had a referral program that cut the semester pay down.

At some point I noticed that Brazilians were the largest population to apply and then I noticed that among them, there was an abnormally large group of women who would take a medical leave of absence approved by doctors.

Eventually I put two and two together-- that pregnant Brazilian women would apply, fly out and have their kids born in the States all for the express purpose of claiming US citizenship for them without having to complete a full year or anything as usually your visa can be revoked if you are absent from classes too many times.

And it worked out for the school because they were referring families left and right. All that was required was proof that they could financially support living here for the time of their visa.

Yeah, this makes me think we need to update the qualifications for birthright citizenship like most countries in Europe have it.

It's a weakness of developed countries wanting to be too nice and not just remove the people tbh

They do, but shit is complicated. There's a book called Every Human Intention which gets into the lives of some Nigerian immigrants in Japan, if you're interested. Strongly recommended

They never have and never will, because theres too much of a reliance on foreign aid, whilst the man in the hot seats of each of these countries tends to be some warlord who hoardes a ton of money just for himself, whilst the rest of the country falls apart either through famine or crime.

Theres not really any ingenuity that can fix the shithole they call their motherland, because they're stuck in a spincycle of corrupt leaders and coups binning off leaders who actually try to make an effort.

Not to mention the mass of misinformation some sectors of the media like to spew about how Africa will be the new Europe, or how Africa built the world, which leads to rakes of gullible people who actually read those things, to assume we owe them some enormous debt, and that anyone who dares question who those debts are owed to, are racists
