If you're speaking of immigration, you need to see the big picture. People tend to stay happily where they are when life is good. Life takes a turn for the worse, populations becoming warring, when there is a shortage of the necessities for living. Society fractures - hairline cracks at first...

Our monetary and trade systems pass wealth both "upward" in a pyramidal fashion and "centralising" so physical goods and services form pockets of wealth. Over time the pockets of wealth shrink and the pockets of poverty expand. The inequity grows over time because the trade itself, from the micro to the macro level, is accumulative. The monetary system, however, is not broken, it is doing what it was designed to do by its founders...

It was a system made in era in which the aristocracy believed in social darwinism rather than loving cooperation and true moral conduct. And thus the "rotten root," as always, is the attitude toward emotional indifference away from love - this shift is how we got to be in this warring messy world. It is this same ideology that has brought us global pollution and climate change - the "culture" of consumerism that ignores the far away people who suffer to produce these material goods and live in fear of starvation and homelessness. If we want to stop the problems we have then we have to address the emotional root of the problem - love vs emotional indifference. Then we have to take the first practical steps to correct the problems and that's establishing trade equity globally - real fairness. Then, other than dealing with the climate change refugees, which even with rapid change we can longer avoid, at leat economic refugees would cease. As communities gain more prosperity globally they will enjoy better health neurologically and physically and the positive aspects of their cultures will thrive, benefitting the whole world. The world needs a serious conversation about the money-nexus and what we can replace it with.

"Feed the World" is also a large part of the answer to the immigration crisis, and in a world that has enough food (and technology for clean water provision and water recycling) it should be a an obvious move to make - perhaps we could at least muster the political will power to get it done by Christmas 2020?
