Points based visa system, like in Canada.

Dock points for countries with different alphabets, bad educational systems, bad research & development, etc, give extra points if they can prove "extra curriculars" that align with the local values, for example volunteering, civic action, etc. Oh, give extra points if the countries have strong ties to the EU, economic and otherwise. For example trade agreements, cultural exchange programs, etc.

Send back every illegal economic migrant. Saw a comment recently about a Guinean that was in Tunisia (safe country), Algeria (safe), Switzerland (safe), France (safe), but they absolutely, positively, HAD to be in Luxembourg.




> different alphabets

What does this have to do with conformity?

> Oh, give extra points if the countries have strong ties to the EU

Norway does not use a standard English alphabet. Are you for or against Norwegian immigrants?


I'm tired of this. Read the friendly book.

You want to preach from your high horse. It's not just about conformity. There are a lot of misaligned axes. Again, read the book.

Cultures can be more similar and more different. On many axes it doesn't matter, on some it matters a great deal.

> Norway does not use a standard English alphabet. Are you for or against Norwegian immigrants?

This is just obtuse, and we both know it.

Toodaloo!


> This is just obtuse, and we both know it.

Why? Should it be obvious to me why you would oppose Arab immigration but not, say, Swedish immigration? In a thread about Swedish gang violence?

You claim I'm preaching but I've made no claims. If you're tired of avoiding questions about yours I guess I don't feel sad about that so far.
